Alternative Technologies for a Better, greener Life
One of our key missions is to explore, develop, and share alternative technologies that make sustainable living accessible to everyone.
Many of these solutions are not futuristic at all – they often revive and modernize ideas from the past, combining traditional wisdom with today’s innovations.
They make our lives easier, more affordable, and more in harmony with nature.
Our main focus areas are housing, food production, energy and smart water management – the four foundations of a self-sufficient and balanced life.
Housing
Architectural innovations like earthbag homes, straw bale houses, superadobe domes, earthships, and cob buildings offer a real alternative to conventional construction.
They use local or recycled materials, are cost-effective, and minimize ecological impact.
Our architects are now developing a hybrid system (we call it SunNest) that combines many of those principles – simplifying construction, lowering costs, and making sustainable homes more attainable for everyone.
Food Production
In food production, techniques like permaculture and biodynamic farming already show the way toward abundance and regeneration. But by integrating smart technologies, we can go even further – increasing efficiency while reducing labor.
We experiment with systems such as the improved walipini greenhouse, which allows for year-round food production, and the innovative food dome, capable of supplying fresh, healthy produce for many people.
In our eco-settlement, these systems will be continuously tested and optimized – refining irrigation, automation, and design to make self-sufficiency simpler than ever.
Energy Production
While solar power has become mainstream, true off-grid independence still faces challenges – especially when it comes to energy storage. We believe every off-grid home should have at least a two-day energy buffer, and our engineers are developing practical, affordable solutions to make this possible.
We also explore vertical-axis wind turbines, compact designs that can power an entire household without special permits. Two small turbines could provide enough energy for a family home – quietly, safely, and sustainably.
Greywater Treatment
Clean water is one of our most valuable resources, yet it’s often wasted unnecessarily.
It makes little sense to flush toilets with 6-8 liters of drinking water when so many regions face water scarcity.
We focus on greywater recycling systems that reuse water from sinks and showers to flush toilets – reducing waste and conserving precious fresh water.
