The City of Cape Town, in partnership with the Green Building Council of South Africa, launched the My Clean Green home pop-up exhibit on Monday, March 1 2021 in Green Point park in Cape Town. The neat structure has a net zero carbon footprint and is made out of recycled palette wood, solar panels and two shipping containers. The home features a lounge, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, food garden and a spacious courtyard.
“We were inspired by using the principles of a tree,” Shawn Alimohammadi, a member of Team Mahali, said from inside the net zero carbon footprint structure.
“The wooden palettes all round and on the roof provide shade for the building just as a tree has a shade footprint. We produce energy from the solar panels which power the entire house. We are completely off-grid and net zero energy dependent.”
