We have a reed bed grey water system for all grey water and all toilets are composting, electricity will be all solar and hot water will be solar with wood stove back up. Landscaping will be a stylish esthetic endemic and none endemic food forest blended with seasonally deciduously shaded open space edged with scented and medicinal herbal borders. We hope to run multiple workshops during many of the construction phases.

At the moment the disabled toilet doesn't seem to comply with regulations. You might want to check circulation around the fixtures and also the door. Hi guys,

I'd imagine a lot of thought went in to them, but it's hard to tell from those renderings. What's going on in terms of passive solar, greywater, etc.? What are the plans for landscaping around them?
