The solar roof tiles visible from the Plaza are essential to the project’s sustainability. Together, the shingles and photo-voltaic canopy under construction on the eastern edge of the existing Quad are designed to generate 110% of the Living Village’s annual energy needs, ensuring a net-positive energy footprint.
As both a functional green space and an aesthetic centerpiece, the Plaza provides opportunities for daily interaction, supports occupants’ well-being, and stands as the heart of community and sustainable living. Its design for human connection reflects the YDS mission to foster belonging and justice. Ultimately, the Village Plaza is a potent symbol of a regenerative future—where life is powered by clean energy, surrounded by edible landscapes, nurtured through community, and inspired by natural and designed beauty.
