Nigeria would not really be a place where you would be a place where you would go searching for green homes but with Aero Energy Design making the movement of global green living truly global, even the most remote location of the world can now harbor a green structure. The important aspect of the homes is that one needs to feel as if they truly are in the lap of nature. ZED designed 4500 sf concept home as the first of two thousand planned residences in a modern village in Akodo Ise, Nigeria. The TechVille project is both inspiration in design and effective in efficiency.

TechVille has passive and active cooling, PV system, on demand hot water, air exchange system, dehumidification system, low- and no-VOC materials, abundant natural light, rainwater capture, greywater system, and smart home technology. The red “sleeping tube” is super insulated and can be separated from the rest of the home to minimize the mechanical cooling load. Plus, the extended portion of the tube blocks direct solar gain while still allowing natural light into the interior.

With any amazing view of the beach which allows you to live in tranquil harmony with nature and not pollute the beach with your brilliant residence and technology that allows you to live without cables, wires and pollution, the TechVille community will be a sight to behold when done. Just make sure that you do not trash the beach with plastic waste though!
