Those who firmly believe that eco-friendly living is devoid of luxury, the Kokopo House is here to change your perception. Situated in Papua New Guinea’s volcanic region, the Kokopo House offering a tree-house look is a luxurious dwelling for a shipping CEO.
This sustainable house is designed by dividing it into three separate zones, first for open access entertainment, the next for informal secluded areas and two self-contained bedroom areas with bathrooms and study space. The geometric shapes and patterns are inspired by the flow of volcanic lava that help in cross ventilation and wind movement.
The Kokopo House has two storage tanks connected to the roof, using rainwater efficiently for not just the toilet and kitchen use but also drinking purposes after proper treatment and testing. Solar water heaters are used to heat up the rainwater for showers and low-wattage LEDs are used to illuminate the whole house.
