The Story

The Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas is launching Phase 1 of a landmark housing initiative in Eagle Pass, Texas, with the construction of 25 new homes across two primary worksites. Partnering with Zona Verde, the Tribe has selected the 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath model—now named the “Four Winds Home”—as the cornerstone of this development. This name carries deep cultural resonance, symbolizing harmony, direction, and the interconnectedness of family and nature. The project reflects the Tribe’s commitment to providing modern, spacious housing that honors tradition while embracing contemporary design.

Each Four Winds Home offers 2,022 square feet of elevated living, tailored for families and multigenerational households. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects living, dining, and kitchen zones, creating a light-filled environment ideal for gathering and daily life. Clerestory windows and oversized glazing bring in abundant natural light while preserving privacy, and the flat-roof silhouette adds a bold architectural statement to the community’s evolving landscape.

Inside, the kitchen anchors the home with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous storage—designed for both everyday cooking and celebratory meals. Four large bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility, while two full bathrooms and an additional half bath ensure convenience for residents and guests alike. A spacious utility room with laundry hookups and extra storage supports the rhythms of family life, rounding out a home that balances elegance with practicality.

As the first phase unfolds, the Kickapoo Tribe’s vision is taking shape—not just in panels and beams, but in the creation of a neighborhood rooted in cultural pride and forward-looking design. Zona Verde’s modular approach and commitment to sustainability align with the Tribe’s values, offering homes that are both resilient and refined. The Four Winds Home stands as a symbol of renewal, direction, and belonging—marking a new chapter for Eagle Pass and the families who will soon call it home.

Efficient and Sustainable Design

The Four Winds Home exemplifies Zona Verde’s commitment to efficient, sustainable design without compromising comfort or style. Its modular construction streamlines the building process, reducing material waste and accelerating on-site assembly—an ideal solution for tribal housing initiatives seeking speed, quality, and long-term value. The flat-roof architecture not only delivers striking curb appeal but also supports future green technologies, making the home adaptable to evolving sustainability goals.

Inside, the layout is optimized for energy efficiency and livability. Clerestory windows and oversized glazing maximize natural light, reducing reliance on artificial lighting while enhancing thermal performance. The open-concept floor plan promotes airflow and passive cooling, while high-performance insulation and energy-efficient fixtures help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round. From the granite countertops to the stainless-steel appliances, every material is selected for durability and low maintenance—ensuring the home remains resilient and cost-effective for decades to come.

Together, these features make the Four Winds Home a model of thoughtful, future-ready design—one that honors the Kickapoo Tribe’s cultural values while embracing environmental stewardship and modern living.

Results and Community Impact

The introduction of the Four Winds Home is already reshaping the residential landscape in Eagle Pass, offering Kickapoo families a spacious, and culturally resonant place to call home. With 25 homes underway in Phase 1, the project is creating immediate opportunities for local employment, skill-building, and community pride. These homes are more than structures—they’re anchors for family life, designed to support multigenerational living, cultural continuity, and long-term stability. As families move in, the neighborhood begins to reflect a shared vision of renewal, rooted in tradition and built for the future.

Beyond the physical footprint, the Four Winds Home is fostering a deeper sense of belonging and empowerment within the Tribe. Its thoughtful design—both efficient and elegant—signals a commitment to wellness, sustainability, and self-determination. Children growing up in these homes will experience brighter, healthier spaces, while elders can enjoy comfort and connection in a setting that honors their heritage. As the project expands, it sets a precedent for tribal housing initiatives across the region, proving that culturally inspired, high-quality modular homes can transform not just landscapes, but lives.
