After a year of research and design of housing, neighborhood plan, and edible landscaping, SosteNica and Cornell University Sustainable Design are ready to build their prototype house in Nagarote, Nicaragua.
With local materials and eco-technologies including a composting toilet, efficient wood burning stove, rain water capture and grey water treatment, the house will serve as a model for more than 100 housing cooperatives throughout Nicaragua.
