Eco-friendly
Accomodation
100 Hubble, and environmentally
friendly accommodation, boasts the following eco-friendly modifications:
Recycled building
materials- Andrew is a self-confessed 'hard-core appropriator', all
materials, from the structures, to the tiles are remodeled 'found objects'.
Some of these objects include the boat wheel house which is now a kitchen,
the 1950's phone box, now a shower, and a railway carriage, now the bedroom.
Organic Matter-
All organic matter is composted with the aid of worm farms, and placed
on the garden.
Grey-Water -
With respect to conserving WA's water, all grey-water, (shower/ kitchen/
sink/ laundry water) is used to water the gardens and lawn. An extensive
elaborate drainage system lies beneath the surface of the garden.
Cleaning Agents-
Environmentally friendly detergents and cleaners are used.
Northern Lighting-
Lighting is based on "Northern Lighting". This means all
structures have been built to accommodate natural lighting. This allows
for warmth in winter and coolness in summer.
Alternative Power-
The one area that Andrew is currently working on is an alternative
power source. The current options are solar power or wind power or both.
