这个概念是通过使用当地生产的材料和可再生能源，使小屋尽可能地对环境友好。长远来说，这样便可简化楼宇的生产和维修工作。

The concept was to make the hut as environmentally friendly as possible by using locally produced, materials and renewable energy sources. This would then simplify both production and maintenance of the buildings in the long run.

该组织以当地的建筑传统为基础，由一群房屋组成一个遮阳的庭院环境，人们可以在这里聚集一堂。一个、两个或更多的建筑物可以建在已经存在的住宅旁边，也可以单独建造成一个单独的建筑物群。在建筑物中引入正交交通系统，在可行的情况下，可以将这些建筑物中的几个加在一起，形成一个更符合城市的环境。

The organization is based on the local building tradition with a cluster of houses which compose a shaded courtyard situation where people can gather. One, two or more buildings can be built next to already existing dwellings or erected separately to form an individual cluster of buildings. Introducing an orthogonal traffic system in the building, one can add several of these buildings together to form a more urban setting in the situation where that is feasible.

这座大楼完全没有电网。它的屋顶上有太阳能电池板，为未来的居民提供足够的能源，还有一个堆肥厕所，可以产生足够一个家庭使用的沼气。

The building is totally off-grid. It has solar panels on the roof producing enough energy for the future inhabitants and a composting latrine which produces biogas enough for one household.
