About the Project
Down to Zero: Net Zero Transitional Housing at Hillcrest Village is a new documentary created by Northfield filmmaker Wendy Placko. Down to Zero shares the story of the team who imagined and built the neighborhood of townhomes, which offer a continuum of housing options to Northfield residents and were designed according to sustainable Passive House building standards.
I invite you to read more about the process of creating this project through a series of articles.
Life Imitates Art
After deciding to revisit my 2021 documentary on Hillcrest Village, I changed careers to devote my professional life to storytelling about sustainable building and infrastructure projects.
Wendy Placko is a fiscal year 2024 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
