          This is the foundation of it all. Look past the materials, design and funkiness to see the basics and morals of it. A lifestyle that is centred around the ability to consume as little as possible, while using natural and efficient means to produce your own energy, food and water, all from your local environment.

(Loredana Sava, 2011)

          The possibilities and diverse range of potential paths to take when designing and creating one are amazing. The fundamentals of it are as followed

• Structure consists of as much recycled material as possible ie. tires, bottles/cans, straw etc.
• Reduction and conservation of energy through efficient heating techniques, thermal mass.
• Self produced energy through wind turbine, solar energy, biomass from farming.
• Production of food through year round growing (in house, and seperate greenhouse.)
• Water collection and recycling on site.
