Hi I'm Joanna. I've been a permie for about six years and I do
online home design consulting for permaculture buffs.
I started out walking in my father's footsteps as an architect with an architectural office and architecture projects like banks and office buildings. I profoundly hated it. And so I emotionally strayed away from architecture and onto permaculture my heart went. We've all been there: enthusiastically reading Holmgren, Hemenway and the Mollison Bible, gathering organic matter for weeks to make your 1st hot compost, fighting slugs in your 1st mulched garden season and of course planting - and canning - too many tomatoes. I met a lot of people who like the same stuff and visited a lot homes, farms, homesteads and failed eco villages. My architect instincts came rushing back at some point and I started working on what I know best with my new people.
Today I'm doing permies homes on a daily basis, mostly online, and recently I've launched a
website that I have been eager to show off here on the forum:
Permarchitecture - the Website
The consulting and design work focuses on
natural building design, bioclimatics and Zone 0 layout. While you could say I'm proficient in permaculture, I am not a garden expert - there are a lot of people here who know so much more about plants than me. What I can help with is
Zone placement, earthworks design, materials and, of course, house plans, whether it be for that eco village in Costa Rica, or the tiny bug-out cabin in the woods. Simple, online, via screen-sharing, no strings attached, and with a money back guarantee on the first session.
This was my pitch to you, the tribe. If you have a friend or a
social media group (or other permies threads) that you feel could benefit the info, it helps the mighty algorithm a whole lot to see there's people visiting my website from places like that.
Also, if you have ideas or questions, I'm considering this thread an
"Ask me anything " session on Permarchitecture. Though technically impossible for me to integrate coupon codes now, I am thinking of solutions for a permies exclusive offer.
