OUR IDEARevolutionizing:

CURRENT PROBLEMS
# WASTE MANAGEMENTOrganic materials faeces, food remains not fully utilized
# FOOD PRODUCTION
Land usagePollution
High demand
Water makes up about 75% of faeces

HEALTHY GROWTH OF PLANTS!!!
BUTIN FACT
WASTAGE
However, most of our faeces are flushed away directly to sewer treatment without fulfilling its
natural purpose as organic fertilizer
Huge amounts of land are used
to produce food
POLLUTION
AIR & WATER POLLUTION
Usage of chemical fertilizers /pesticides bring harm when evaporated into the air and
soak into water sources
SOLUTIONTransforming waste into ENERGY
A BUILDING PLAN THAT WILL CHANGE HOUSING FOREVER!

BENEFITS
Encourages use of organic fertilizers, reducing
harm to environment, promoting healthy living
Saves land area required for sewer treatment
plants and agriculture
Reduce carbon emission as food transportation via vehicles
is unnecessary
Minimizes energy waste, fully utilizing waste as
resources
PROMOTES GREEN LIVING & A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
Faeces from each residential unit in the residential zone is transported to thefarming zone via sewer pipes
HOW IT WORKS
An activity done by all of us
BOWEL MOVEMENTS
RESIDENTIAL ZONE
FARMING ZONE
waste being transported from each unit to a collection tank through pipes
Gravity makes the sewer pipes function. Hence, the collection tank is situated at a lower floor
ADDED INTO THE TANK:
SOIL FOOD LEFTOVERS
To prevent odour from being released into surrounding air, a special mechanism is used to segregate air in the tank while adding soil and food leftovers

FAECES Soil / Food leftovers being manually put into the tank

Blender fans blend the mixture of waste materials together
The mixture is dropped into organic soil in the farming zone, serving as a high-nutrient fertilizer to the planted crops
SUGGESTED CROPSLeafy vegetables & vine vegetables #suitable for local climate
Harvested crops are then sold to residents and consumed
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Added to the farming zone’s building to aid in sunlight penetration and ventilation
Filled with water and bleach refract sunlight into areas that lack sunlight, minimalizing use of artificial lighting
ORGANIC-STYLE VOIDS
RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES
RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM
WATER COLLECTION TANK
Fully utilizing rainfall, it provides water for irrigation and daily usage by residents.
GREENERY ON WALLSPlantation growth cripple and grow around the building
Abundance of glass windows allow maximum light penetration into the building
Bamboo and recycled water bottles are used to construct walls of the building, making Organica more eco-friendly
BUILDING MATERIALS
CONCLUSION
Revolutionizing conventional residential space, Organica provides natural living for people. It recycles waste material and implements a new functionable system, making this world greener and healthier.
