The Moat System
Acts as an ‘eco-system’
Acts as an elevated garden
Acts as an ‘eco-system’
Offers multiple functional uses that have been, previously, only partly incorporated in conventional designs.
Generating such services as: heat exchange, water reservoir, plant growth and wastes processor and shields the building from adverse outside influences such as ground heat radiation or grass fires.
Acts as a thermostat

Acts as an ‘eco-system’
By providing an integrated buffering, filtering, processing, and ‘ambient-regulating-mechanism’. That may be attached to a single dwelling or a collectivity of buildings, to suit the topography and planned design of an area; in a variety of configurations, ranging from a linear sequence to an integrated geometric patterned system surrounding an edifice in accordance with the given shape of a building.

That can be established anywhere, by means of:
Segmented compartments, refractive materials, climatically suitable terrestrial and aquatic (filtering) plants, as well as symbiotic animal species, for the upkeep and purification of the whole system.
By replacing conventional servicing infrastructure the ‘Moat System’ cuts costs and makes possible the construction of fully functional buildings anywhere.
Air Flow Efficiency
Natural airflows and internal ambient temperature within a dome are optimized through strategically placed air vents at floor and ceiling level and regulated by means of ‘calibrated baffles' to efficiently control the flow; thereby augmenting comfort, reduce energy wastage and dispense with costly air conditioning systems.
Maximum efficiency being attained through scaled volume/size ratios relative to wall openings and building (or wall) size.
The technique can reduce or replace the incorporation and use of windows where, because of design, these are deemed structurally or climatically unsuitable and avoidable.
The Tremors Damping System
- In seismically active areas of the world, tremors damping can be achieved through: building design or device by having the structural components sitting upon a hydraulic damper.
