A groundbreaking initiative that integrates sustainable technologies and community-driven solutions
Housed by Nature’s Ecosystem
Housed by Nature’s Ecosystem is a groundbreaking initiative that integrates sustainable technologies and community-driven solutions. Acting as a living laboratory, the project tests eco-construction methods like rammed earth, hempcrete, and 3D clay printing to create affordable, energy-efficient housing. Advanced aquaponics systems and permaculture techniques will optimize food production and resource conservation, while a mycology lab and medicinal garden explore agricultural innovations and natural remedies. Clean water technologies will also be studied to improve purification and management.IM Designers and Builders LLC, in collaboration with Global Won, will construct entire communities using patented earthen technologies, ensuring eco-friendly, energy-efficient homes. The project will also feature a Farming Ecology Center, Community Center, Parks, and Healing Village for a self-sustaining ecosystem. Key technologies include renewable energy systems, aquaponics integration, and rainwater recycling, supporting food security and sustainable living. Research will focus on evaluating the durability and sustainability of these materials across various conditions.
