take a second hand fibreglass swimming pool (I've seen them for R500
dig it into the ground lay a concrete slab around it place 2 parallel shipping containers on the slab with the pool inbetween place two containers at right angles to these, on top of them add windows, stairwell in the middle, railings, wooden platform over the containers and over these a pyramidal tin roof, cover with solar heaters and solar panels, add gutters which lead into the swimming pool with overflow into a seep at a safe distance. you can cover the outside of the cube with a framework into which you back bales, or from which you hang aqua-ponic vertical vegetable gardens ordinary biofiltration to purify the pond in the middle with fish in it is an alternative to aquaponics, or it can just keep it as rain water, a reservoir for heating up and using in the house. This is one of the models of house for the zozo village I want to live in as soon as I can get partners to buy some land with me. I would like Phillipi, maybe buy with a trust....so that the land can remain vegetable producing land for posterity instead of being sold for the types of development planned at Muizenberg and already seen in Wynberg, vast barracks of little rectangular pidgeon holes. I personally don't need a house as grand as the zozocube. I'm thinking of one container with a pitched roof... and will put up drawings, of possibilities for a 1,2, 3, 4 and more container house.
