Description
  • It is a social housing project focussed on being environmentally friendly. 
  • The buildings have been constructed using straw bales and loam (mud). These are naturally derived. They have great insulating properties hence they help regulate the indoor temperature. 
  • There are shared facilities such as a living room, kitchen, and guest rooms which can be availed by the residents. 
  • There is a multi-purpose building which can be rented out to the local neighbourhood for activities and events. 
  • The premises is managed and maintained by the residents which helps maintain affordability of the homes. 
  • A mix of several types of living units accommodates various groups such as families, elderly residents as well as single-person households. This encourages a good social mix
  • A communal permaculture garden provides residents with the opportunity to grow their own food. 
  • A helophyte filter made up of a reed bed is used to filter greywater from the premises. The water is then used for flushing toilets. 
  • Rainwater harvesting has also been set up. 
  • The development encourages a social lifestyle with its shared facilities and maintenance. Everyday organic products and machines are joint-purchased by the owners.
