Welcome to the Wild Heart Haven Vision Board

This space was created to give you a glimpse into the world we are building, one rooted in compassion, connection, and the quiet beauty of nature. As we continue developing the sanctuary, these images help convey the aesthetic, emotion, and architectural style that guide our decisions.

Our vision board brings together sketches, conceptual renderings, and curated inspiration to illustrate the atmosphere we aim to create: warm, grounded, immersive, and deeply respectful of the land and the animals who will call it home.

While these images represent inspiration rather than final plans, they serve an important purpose: aligning our team, our partners, and our supporters around a shared visual direction. This board acts as a compass—shaping design choices, guiding future development, and ensuring that every element of Wild Heart Haven reflects our mission and values.

We invite you to explore, imagine, and feel the sanctuary with us.

Sanctuaries Rooted in Place

Unified by Purpose

An outdoor sitting area with a fire pit surrounded by benches and cushions, set in a lush green garden with trees and hills in the background, lit by lanterns and candles in the evening.

As Wild Heart Haven expands, each sanctuary will pay homage to the state, and the land, that holds it. We believe every region has a story, a history, and a natural aesthetic that shaped it into the place it is today. Our intention is to honor that identity by thoughtfully weaving local materials, landscapes, and cultural influences into each sanctuary’s design.

From the forests and wetlands of Florida to the deserts, mountains, plains, and coastlines of future locations, each Wild Heart Haven will reflect the spirit of its home. Whether it’s the architecture, the pathways, the planting, or the gathering spaces, every sanctuary will carry the imprint of the place it belongs to.

Yet across all locations, one thing will remain constant:
our rustic, natural, wild-hearted aesthetic.

No matter where we build, every sanctuary will embody the warmth, grounded beauty, and nature-forward design that defines Wild Heart Haven. Local homage gives each haven its personality; our core aesthetic gives it its soul.

Our art walls tell the visual story of Wild Heart Haven, where imagination, compassion, and design come together to envision a sanctuary of healing and connection.

We imagine a sanctuary where stone, wood, and water meet firelight, comfort, and human warmth, a place where dogs and people can enjoy the best of the natural world and the homes we build within it.
