"Casa Atlas"
Following the latest fires that ravaged parts of California, we decided to design a home that is ideal for this climate, while being resistant to both earthquakes and wildfires.
The materials used to build the house are natural, non-toxic and in conformity with building codes. All sustainable systems have been added to the home design in order to achieve self-sufficiency.
“Discover our Regenerative systems”
Natural Convection Cooling System
No electricity is needed to cool the house in the hottest months thanks to our proven passive cooling system.
Water Harvesting System
We are able to provide you with clean filtered water, which was either harvested from the rain, dew or atmospheric condensation.
Sewage System
We are able to contain all waste waters onsite. Our biodigester
is able to provide you with gas whilst treating your black water.
Electric System
You can get all the electricity you need thanks to our solar, wind and hydro systems.
Irrigation System
We use your gray water to irrigate your garden/landscape. The
landscape itself is designed in the most efficient way to require the
minimum input of waste and clean waters.
-Living whith the element-
A self-sufficient home, designed to be net positive and able to withstand natural disasters in California.
Sumer
The house is protected from solar radiation in the summer and insulated from the outside heat using non-toxic local materials.
Winter
Exposure to the winter sun allows for solar gain. The house is thus kept warm in the coldest months thanks to the thermal mass inside.
-Vegetable Garden-
A Food garden
Wether you want to grow food on a rooftop or in your own backyard, we provide you with the right tools and methods to reach food autonomy.
