Emberbrook is a concept for a real-world, walkable community that draws its inspiration from storybook architecture and is rooted in an original fantasy narrative.
Blending Character and Comfort
The vision for Emberbrook seeks to blend old-world charm with modern comfort. The design emphasizes sustainability, thoughtful local development, and prioritizing pedestrians over cars.
The future village is imagined as a cohesive mix of homes, community gathering spaces, local shoppes, eateries, and wellness businesses. Everything is being planned to work together, establishing an environment built on intention and shared purpose.
The Heart of the Model
At its core, Emberbrook is designed around connection and a slower, more meaningful rhythm of daily life. We envision a place where it's easy to meet your neighbors, walk to your morning coffee, and feel truly present in your community.
ABOUT Emberbrook
About the Founder
Emberbrook is the vision of Elissandria Draymere, driven by a long-standing fascination with worldbuilding, intentional design, and the elements that give an environment an unmistakable character.
Her philosophy has been refined through observing historic, walkable towns where craftsmanship and shared culture forge a genuine sense of belonging. These firsthand observations anchor Emberbrook’s mission: to prove that old-world charm and modern livability are not mutually exclusive.
Elissandria brings a grounded perspective to the project, supported by a degree in Economics from Texas A&M University. Having built an advocacy community of over 30,000 people who share this vision, she is able to ground the Emberbrook concept in the real-world preferences and needs of modern residents.
As the lead visionary, Elissandria is currently focused on the initial planning phase. Her work centers on creating a model where thoughtful planning, classic charm, and genuine community merge to sustain both the village’s character and the daily life of its future residents.
Why Emberbrook Exists
The Need for a Different Path
Emberbrook was born from the desire to offer a thoughtful alternative to conventional suburban growth. Today, many developments prioritize rapid expansion and vehicle dependency, often resulting in environments that feel anonymous, lack walkability, and offer little in the way of meaningful public space.
Our Different Approach
The Emberbrook concept takes inspiration from historic, human-scale planning. It focuses on making key aspects of daily life accessible, creating cohesive mixed-use areas, and prioritizing the pedestrian experience. Here, design is not just cosmetic; it is a functional element of community life that supports local business, encourages greener practices, and ensures long-term architectural character.
The subtle fantasy influence serves as a unique design framework, bringing warmth, identity, and artistry to the built environment without compromising modern practicality or livability.
A Place with Purpose
The goal is clear: To establish a village model that feels intentional, connected, and enduring. We want to create a place that is fundamentally shaped by thoughtful design, a thriving community, and a strong sense of purpose.
