Landscape

 

• What is in the piece of nature that has been entrusted to us, what kind of order does it operate, how have these creatures survived until now?

• What do we expect from here? What are our dreams? Why?

• Do we need to change the terrain to do these?

• How can we create the closest settlement to our dreams with the least effort and expense?

 

And of course; What is our ultimate goal?

 

We know that if we go through the design process after answering the long questions that start with the above, we will have the opportunity to create a permanent and healthy living space.  

 

There are many good methods that can be applied:

• Local and renewable energy use for energy efficient design, site-appropriate design

• Correct and natural use of water: Rainwater harvesting, water retention and soil creation, gray water recovery, planning of the entire water regime in the land,

• Natural biological ponds; swimming pool and/or ecosystem support ponds,

• Making the most of solar energy; trombe-walls, sun traps, smart conservatories, 

• food systems; to obtain sufficient and natural food for all inhabitants from the land.

• Waste / nutrient cycle; zero waste

 

​

In order to balance all these possibilities within the framework of our land and our expectations, we have only one possibility;
