what waste?

In order to kick-start the local economy, the decision was made to employ sustainable materials and products, reduce waste, and implement energy-efficient solutions. This was achieved by establishing on-site re-purposing workshops and CHP unit powered by the small anaerobic digestive power plant fed by the waste collected from the local schools, residents and a farm itself.

The advantages offered by the south-facing slope were harnessed to install solar photovoltaic panels. The roof design was carefully considered to incorporate concealed water collection systems, facilitating further reuse

The project incorporates two distinct structures: cargo containers and an oak frame. This deliberate choice aligns with the project’s commitment to minimizing the environmental impact through lowcarbon manufacturing processes and the reuse of containers, adding a distinct character to the community. Furthermore, the utilization of these structures allows for efficient and rapid assembly, while also providing the flexibility of post-use disassembly, catering to the needs of a dynamic and growing community.
