The project, in our own words
Cottages sit lightly on the water's edge, raised and ventilated so the breeze off the backwater is the only cooling needed. Earth-block walls and thatched-profile roofs root each stay in the local building tradition.
Every cottage closes its own loops - rainwater, greywater and compost - so the cluster adds no load to the fragile wetland it calls home.
What it changes
Stilted, minimal ground contact
Footprint
On-site catch & reuse
Water
How it looks, and what it is made of
Real site photography will replace these. For now, each frame is a warm reference of the materials and the land this project grows from, never passed off as the building itself.
