Our Philosophy
SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE • ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION • PRIVATE SECLUSION • ARTISANAL MINIMALISM • ECO-CONSCIOUS DESIGN •
We believe in the profound harmony between human presence and the natural world. Our philosophy, and our commitment to environmental conservation is woven into the very fabric of our chalet, ensuring that every detail—from the sustainable materials we use to the preservation of the surrounding forest—respects the mountain's delicate ecosystem. At Joia Verde, we prioritize guest privacy and tranquility, offering a retreat where the quiet whispers of the forest are the only sound. Currently we are building a large composting bin for all fall foliage and vegetable food scraps, other ongoing projects include building a natural swim pond over time, a wood burning spring fed hot tub, and the design of the pondside deck and cabin using the Shou Sugi Ban principles to avoid the use of pressure or heat treated lumber.

We prioritize environmental conservation and guest privacy, ensuring your retreat is as sustainable as it is exclusive. We limit use of heavy machinery and attempt to use wood from the land to build as much as possible.
We as you to shop locally and support local businesses, pack in and pack out when camping, use the natural resources of fallen trees and sticks first as a source of campfires and always burn within a safety perimeter with water nearby.
