Answer the need of housing: about 70 apartments are planned to be built for around 170 people.

 

Share resources to help people with low budget: People give what they can: funds and/or work, so that everyone gets an apartment according to their needs and not according to their financial means.

 

Develop a participative process: Individuals are involved in the elaboration and management of the project. Everybody can contribute physically, mentally and spiritually in a collaborative way for the growth and progress of Auroville as a place of never ending education and in a spirit of Human Unity.

 

Build and live in a sustainable and Eco-friendly manner: Appropriate building technologies and renewable energy sources being used include stabilized earth for the main building material, solar and wind energy, recycling wastewater treatments systems, rainwater harvesting systems on the land and on the roofs, etc.

 

Develop community services: For its future residents as well as for the neighbors.
