carbon-neutral compact dwelling
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The site, an old bridge pillar in the Grand River, was selected for its prominence in the city because of the house’s ability to set a high standard of sustainable living not only in Cambridge but in Ontario as a whole. The functions of the house are entirely self-contained -  power is provided by combination of a micro hydro turbine and PV panels, and waste is handled by a living machine. Structural thermoplastic timber and a sealed, concrete lower level mitigate any damaging effects of flooding.
