1. Sustainable Water Management Rainwater Harvesting: Every home is equipped with systems to collect and store rainwater, reducing dependence on external water sources. Greywater Recycling: Used water from bathrooms and kitchens is treated and reused for flushing and landscape irrigation. Recharge Pits : This feature help replenish groundwater naturally. ☀️ 2. Renewable Energy Integration Solar Power: Solar water heaters and solar lighting reduce reliance on grid electricity. Low Energy Consumption: The architecture promotes natural lighting and ventilation, minimizing the need for artificial cooling or heating. 🧱 3. Eco-Friendly Building Materials Locally Sourced Materials: Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (CSEBs), natural stone, and reclaimed wood are used extensively. Minimal Embodied Energy: Materials with low environmental cost are preferred to reduce the carbon footprint. 🌳 4. Community-Centric Planning Shared Green Spaces: Instead of isolated gardens, the community features interconnected courtyards, walking trails, and gathering zones. No Compound Walls: Homes are connected by pathways and landscaping, encouraging interaction and a sense of belonging. Car-Free Zones: Vehicular movement is restricted to designated areas, promoting walkability and safety for children. 🥬 5. Food and Organic Living Kitchen Gardens & Urban Farming: Residents are encouraged to grow their own vegetables and herbs in personal or shared garden patches. Composting Units: Organic waste is processed into compost and reused for gardening. 🔁 6. Waste Management Solid Waste Segregation: At source segregation of biodegradable, recyclable, and reject waste. On-site Composting: Community-managed composting units help convert kitchen waste into manure.
