The Haven Project

A Vision for Regenerative Urban Life in bushwick, Brooklyn

Welcome to The Haven Project

— an ambitious and heart-driven transformation of an industrial brownfield in Bushwick into a thriving, regenerative, and biophilic campus for life, learning, and innovation.

At the core of this initiative is Template: Terra Nova, a regenerative design firm merging permaculture, biophilic architecture, and cultural programming to create sanctuaries that heal both people and planet.

A Space Reimagined

  • Set within the concrete bounds of a post-industrial Brooklyn block, Haven will become a living ecosystem, integrating:

    • A native forest and edible gardens using Afforestt’s rewilding methods

    • Artist, scientist & designer residencies with short and long-term housing

    • A healing spa and clinic incorporating natural medicine and wellness

    • A venue and amphitheater for concerts, community gatherings, and talks

    • A VR arcade and immersive learning lab featuring AI-generated worlds and sensory storytelling

    • On-site fabrication and innovation labs for biomaterials and emerging tech

    • A farm-to-table café and outdoor kitchen

    • Sheltered affordable housing units for the unhoused and transitional populations

Enter the World of Tomorrow

  • In the next phase of development, Haven will also serve as the real-world portal into the universe of Bride of the Lamb, a biophilic myth and musical set 100 years in the future. Visitors will be able to:

    • Step into a motion-capture soundstage and embody avatars in a cinematic storyworld

    • Collaborate on AI-assisted music videos, short films, and game assets

    • Explore Haven through Unreal Engine 5 environments—where quests align with real-world ecological restoration

    • Join a global, open-world augmented reality experience in which virtual impact supports tangible change on the ground

    • Upload their likeness and story to become characters in a living, evolving narrative

    This initiative, powered by tools like Blender, Unreal Engine 5, AI music generators, and interactive storytelling platforms, will make Haven not just a place—but an interface between earth, art, and the infinite.
