Practical & eco-friendly solutions

 

 

Dry Toilet

The system is extremely simple.  One bucket inside a wooden frame covered with a toilet seat.  Each time a person ‘visits’ the compost loo they just cover it with a sprinkling of sawdust.  When the bucket is full it is used on the garden.

Floors and Isolation

We build round, wooden platforms for the yurts. If you want, they can easily be isolated with granulated cork for higher comfort.

Rocket Stove

This rocket stove was developed for cooking purposes where a relatively small amount of wood (few sticks) are required in the burning chamber. This can be accomplished with a dedicated layer of insulation between the external tin can and the internal steel burning chamber that traps the heat inside, burning the wood with the most efficiency possible. Our stoves are costum made from old tin cans.
