Our plan was to create a CO2 free living space where people live, work and where they can do their groceries. The necessary energy is supplied by solar panels, waste recycling and wind turbines. Sewage waste will be burned under the building itself, to supply energy. The building consists out of a tall hall covered by a dome that makes the main hall a very light space. A large fig tree stands in the middle of the hall. It provides the hall with fresh air. It is taller than the petal buildings, in order for it to be seen through the dome. The roofs of the flower shaped petals have parks, some with ponds. Because it rains a lot in Holland, we came up with the system to store the rain water but also ground water. The water is stored under the building in the cellar.
