Off Grid Farm
The proposed design aims to create a sustainable and self-sufficient living environment tailored to the needs of a family living off-grid in the Dominican Republic. This comprehensive project encompasses a variety of innovative and eco-friendly solutions, integrated into a thoughtfully planned site layout.
Key Objectives and Features:
- Main House with Natural Pool: The central feature is a main house, equipped with modern amenities and a natural pool. The natural pool serves both recreational and environmental purposes, promoting biodiversity and offering a chemical-free swimming option.
- Separate Staff Accommodations: Two distinct staff accommodations ensure that support personnel have comfortable and private living spaces, contributing to the efficient management of the off-grid enterprise.
- Barn Cum Storage Space: A versatile barn and storage area support agricultural activities and provide secure storage for tools, equipment, and harvested produce.
- Wrap-Around Porches: All buildings feature wrap-around porches, designed to provide shade and ventilation, making them well-suited to the tropical climate of the Dominican Republic. These porches also offer outdoor living spaces, enhancing the connection with nature.
- Pond for Rainwater Harvesting: Strategically located at the lowest elevation point, a proposed pond will capture and store rainwater. This harvested water will be used for irrigation, household needs, and maintaining the natural pool, ensuring a sustainable water supply.
- Solar Farm at the Highest Point: A solar farm positioned at the highest elevation will harness the abundant solar energy, providing a reliable and renewable power source for the entire site. This reduces dependence on external energy sources and minimises the carbon footprint.
