Hinterland is located on the western edge of the new Sloan's Lake development. It was designed to be a contrast to the typical method of developing land, focusing on density, cost, environmental impact, and resident well-being.

The materials are all carefully chosen and the units are designed to maximize space and minimize material and energy use. Residents become informed consumers as the units clearly define square footage, occupancy, storage space, and number of trees needed to create their specific unit, as well as how many trees they are saving by choosing that unit.

Each residential cluster allows up to 24 full time residents and 2 guests per unit. All within the footprint of an average American home (2600 sq ft).
