MCAD Alumni Bevan D. Suits ’85 re-imagines what we think of community, housing, and hemp in his new guidebook What Community Looks Like. The guidebook by Nvision looks at and compares businesses and strategies for developing co-housing in Northern Wisconsin.

Their business approach tackles co-housing from a small and minimalist living approach, prioritizing communal and shared spaces and amenities. Nvision uses a very unique approach to their construction, a product called Z Panel where they use hemp fibers to form their building materials. This guidebook tackles the challenges of modern-day living with innovative and community-driven solutions.
