A house that was built off of pre-existing peach walls, added on to by a variety of occupants. Inhabitants used self made electrical systems and water catchments. Currently unoccupied, the house is at risk of demolition from the local government because of liability issues. We documented the house due to its correlation with Leberecht Migge's studies on self-sustaining living.

A corresponding map designating applicable solutions based on the overlapping problem areas. These solutions are all low effort, low cost, and accessible to current inhabitants without specialized training or equipment following the self made typology of the peach walls.
