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.
