The conceptual approach to the design of the scheme is based upon the theory of Earthships. This small scale residential concept produces an autonomous building that provides its own energy, water and heating and manages its own waste disposal.
One of the main techniques that the system uses is the regulation of internal temperatures by the use of passive solar gains and thermal mass.
The aim is to take as many of the Earthship techniques as possible that are appropriate and adapt them to a larger scale public building.
