Bindarrabi Community: Block 1 2017

Bindarrabi Community: Block 1

Built facing north to passive solar design principles with polished concrete floor for thermal mass, high levels of wall and ceiling insulation to keep the temperatures inside cool in summer and warm in winter.

Rain water collects in to a 50,000L underground concrete water tank that provides water to the whole house and the garden. To further reduce the use of water we have a composting toilet.

The photovoltaic system is off grid with the use of the lead/acid gel battery bank.

In addition to having a community garden that uses aquaponics we also have chickens, bees and goats
