Powered by the sun: North-facing, the house captures the power of the sun. Inside, a thermally broken concrete pad absorbs the sun during the day and releases the stored heat at night. Soffits screen out the hot summer sun, creating a temperate climate inside and making air conditioning obsolete.

Naturally warm: Extra thick walls insulated with wool and thermally broken windows and doors ensure the house is warm in winter and cool in summer. Heatpumps are driven by photovoltaic solar panels, supported by an ultra clean air wood burner to create a cosy, warm atmosphere. Water is heated by the solar panels and excess energy is send back to the grid creating an additional source of income.

Garden and orchard: A variety of native habitats abound in the beautifully designed and cared for grounds. Easy-care features include drainage and greywater irrigation, plus grass plantings to keep the weeds down. Well established fruit and nut trees including: apple, pear, quince, peaches, nectarine, apricot, oranges & lemons, avocado, pawpaw, guava, kiwifruit, berry bushes, walnut, pine nut, macadamia, chestnuts, almonds, and hazelnut trees.
