Sustainable Habitat Challenge

Building a Better Way

The other project just started, is a retrofit affordable eco habitat (RAEH project) - we are building a 60m2 apartment under my pole house using all recycled and natural materials (like pallets, rammed earth tyres, carpet as lath for earth plaster, adobe internal walls, earth floors on recycled polystyrene packaging sheets. Etc. The Raeh will be off grid with lighting via a solar panel/12v battery, cooking via biogas from a biodigester, heating via passive solar design, greywater recycling via an Earthship internal planter, composting toilet, etc etc. More to come soon.
