From a thesis to a staged, gated process
The PRT (Planetary Regenerative Trust) framework: the place enters under aligned covenants, is restored before anything is built, and development begins only when nature is ready. Four phases, governed by mission gates.
The method
Story of Place
Before pro-formas and site plans, we understand the place on its own terms: the Lácar watershed, the pehuén, Mapuche stewardship. The story is what every later decision answers to.
Five Capitals
Living, human, social, built, financial. Scored at baseline and tracked across the whole hold. Each decision is read for its capitals, not its IRR alone.
Pattern Literacy
The patterns the place already exhibits. We do not impose a new model on the land; we accelerate the regenerative trajectory it already hints at.
Governed Rail
Capital flows through a mission-covenanted structure with Curruhuinca co-governance, keeping regenerative intent durable through ownership transitions.
Outcomes — Five Capitals (this place's mapping)
Living
Forest as water yield; Araucaria–Nothofagus restoration.
Cultural
Mapuche co-governance; living, intergenerational culture.
Social
An intentional community that learns to govern itself.
Financial
“Invierta en Neuquén” incentives; the wellness market.
Material / Built
Water, energy, waste, food and connectivity; seismic-resilient, low-impact design.
