The Farm Single Family Development
A sustainable, energy-efficient neighborhood in Dubuque.
Axiom Consultants played a key role in all aspects of planning and design for “The Farm” development, a 105-unit sustainable living community in Dubuque, Iowa. Our team provided survey, geotechnical, and civil engineering design services for the overall parcel, while our Building Services Group worked with Switch Development to create net-zero-ready affordable home designs that were ready to meet stringent Department of Energy (DOE) Zero Energy Ready standards, incorporating advanced energy-efficient systems such as solar panels and smart devices. These homes are being built with high-quality, materials to ensure long-term sustainability and reduced maintenance costs while providing home buyers multiple options to stay within reasonable budgets while tackling climate change firsthand.
Beyond individual home design, Axiom worked closely with Switch Homes to integrate community amenities such as green spaces, walking trails, community gardens, and a park into the overall development plan. The team's civil engineering expertise ensured seamless infrastructure improvements for the 80-acre site, including new streets, sidewalks, and utility connections, creating a thoughtful and sustainable living environment.
