Barton Hood
For years, I had imagined being able to one day have a place to experiment with new ways of living communally and creating a space for creativity to blossom, free from the pressures of capital that are imposed by the external world. Barton Hood was that place.
At it’s heart, Barton Hood was a group of friends living together, creating together and growing together. A chosen family, a home.
A mid-century modern gem in the Druid Hills/Decatur community of Atlanta, GA, 910 Barton Woods (a.k.a “Barton Hood”) was intended to be a space to experiment with new models of intentional community and build a model for collective investment in real estate. Within this context, I recognized the home as the ideal foundational model for Communion as a Full Systems Health and Wellness Infrastructure. As the birthplace of O MediaLab, the home of Biosphere 3, and the first real manifestation of the Communion frameworks in action, Barton Hood was a simulation environment for our first general world model. Barton Hood was the first O Hub.
