Eco-Living does not mean going without modern comfort or style.  It means reducing harm to the environment by constructing high quality accomodation using materials close to home whilst committing to the principles of ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’.

Eco-Living is built with the local climate in mind.  Keeping cool in hot weather, keeping dry in wet weather and doing that in a way which costs everyone far less than simply pouring harmful and expensive concrete.

As a home, Eco-Living offers inexpensive alternatives to standrardised modern souless concrete boxes and offer numerous sustainable add-ons to help reduce running costs.

Accommodation can be spacious, offering ventilation.

Investigate our vision for the future and see how you can profit from creating a socially responsible legacy.

Shipping Containers have been converted into home spaces for many years now and there are some great designs available to take inspiration from.

Shipping containers are manufactured to be strong and weatherproof as they transport goods across thousands of miles of open ocean battered by heavy rain, strong winds as rough tidal surges wash over them.

Second hand containers are perfect for adapting for living accomodation.  They only require minimal internal construction to adapt them for living such as the application of electrics, plumbing, gypsum, ceiling lighting and flooring materials.

The design of a home is limited only by your imagination and budget. Because you are using a second hand resource your budget will stretch further, giving you more habitable space for your money.

Why not talk to us about your plans.  We can help you create your dream eco-living environment.

Earth has been used as a building material for thousands of years.

Whether using earth as the basis for construction (Sand-bags, Baked-earth bricks, Compressed Earth Bricks) or as an finish (Adobe), earth offers an adaptable building material often overlooked.

The natural lines earth construction offers are natural and soft with rounded corners and organic shapes.

Making bricks from abundant waste glass bottles means saving money without diminishing the integrity of any external walls.  With varied colours patterns can be created and where only one colour is used the effect can be striking.

In an Pattaya F&B establishments use tens of thousands of bottles every day and they are often given to glass and plastic collectors who receive only a few baht per kilo.

Patterns and shapes can also be worked into mortar.  This works particularly well with Adobe construction but can be adopted with cement too.  Glass brick walls also light to pass through them helping to create the feeling of space and openness.

Sustainably using bottles as boundary walls, shower cubicles, toilet and washroom external elevations, the principles of helping the planet whilst living a comfortable life are reinforced.  This is nothing new and has been considered a core ‘Earthship’ technology since the late 1960’s.
