DETAILS
POWER
Off-Grid power supply through solar panels and back up batteries.
This eliminates the home’s reliance on
traditional power sources, minimizes its carbon footprint, and saves on energy costs.
MATERIALS
High-strength concretes and geopolymers with a
projected lifespan of more than 100 years.
With high strength and low porosity, these materials provide superior resistance to environmental factors such as water intrusion, freeze-thaw cycles, and corrosion.
FRESHWATER
A self-sustaining and efficient method of providing clean, potable water.
This eliminates the home’s reliance on traditional water sources and minimizes the environmental impact of extracting and transporting freshwater.
AQUACULTURE
Small-scale aquaculture infrastructure incorporated under the base provides an opportunity to cultivate fish, oysters, and other aquatic life in a sustainable and efficient way.
GREYWATER
A sustainable and eco friendly solution for managing household wastewater. This reduces the amount of freshwater needed and helps to maintain water quality in the surrounding ecosystem.
BLACKWATER
Designed to safely and effectively treat
and dispose of wastewater.
Advanced filtration and treatment
technologies remove contaminants
from the water before it is removed from the home.
