Africa Eco House

Africa Eco House

This a sneak peak at a concept that we are working on to be built in Africa, it is a sustainable house that will do more than just house some people. Local training of rammed earth workers, tile makers, metalworkers and permaculture gardening will be incorporated. Rainwater harvesting will feed the garden during the dry season and solar hot water will reduce energy consumption.
