Eco Pyramids that reunite people and nature in a symbiosis of an object who provides a healthy microclimate.
Materials, makes the necessary difference in its impact on nature - it is harmless.
We borrowed performance techniques from our ancestors, and asked nature for its blessing, and the Pyramids were design.

The pyramid is a building made of natural materials, designed for environmental friendliness and longevity of the building.
In order to ensure the symbiosis of man and nature in an effective way, the building has a wooden structure and cover, while hemp was chosen as the ideal choice for wall filling and insulation.
Designed to exude nature and contribute to the quality of life in a healthy way, this prefabricated building can be placed on any rural terrain and provide safe accommodation.
We plan to use our prize to build one for the needy, to settle poorly developed areas, and to encourage people to study and work in agricultural activities.
The target group is the socially vulnerable: homeless, refugees, victims of violence, people with mental disabilities.
The symbiosis of nature and man can be achieved through the healthy cohesion that we see as a result of this concept.

reconnecting with nature
Non-invasiveness of the building towards the environment; Selection of materials from renewable sources; Long-term construction; training target groups on jobs in agriculture; employment of target groups on the local farm; settlement of rural areas; providing cost-effective ecological construction for young families.
With the project, we cover a vicious circle of benefits, and the most important is the one with which we give a person a roof over his head and the possibility of personal growth through education about jobs in agriculture;
With natural construction, we do not leave harmful materials in the environment, and we are able to recycle other materials;
we introduce a new dimension to the living space through design, and the building itself is a work of art;
we permanently leave seeds of hope for future generations who turn to green technologies in the future;
We contribute to society by settling rural areas and encouraging occupations in agricultural work.
The goals of the pyramid project are: construction with ecological materials, popularization and settlement of rural areas; education about jobs in agriculture; helping socially disadvantaged groups.
Ecological materials are an integral part of the pyramid, and thus we encourage human activity in a positive direction towards the use of natural materials in construction, with which we can benefit from a healthier living space.
We are trying to achieve the popularization and settlement of rural areas by making each pyramid a self-sufficient object that will provide modern man with all the comfort and satisfaction of technological needs in rural areas.
With education about jobs in agriculture, we achieve education of experts in the field of ecological agriculture, and for ecological and biodynamic food production.
We plan to help the socially disadvantaged by building houses for their needs and providing them with the opportunity to find work in the agricultural sector. After the candidate proves his/her ambition to work and live in a rural area, the association will permanently assign him/her land and a building.
The accessibility of certain segments depends on the opportunities and possibilities of building buildings, i.e. financial possibilities.
Although the pyramid is intended to be an affordable and self-sufficient fully equipped building, with its 25 m2 it requires a cost of 25,000 EUR, which is satisfactory to reach a wide number of people. We have secured basic needs such as land and a typical construction project from our own funds, and we need a financial aspect with which we will realize the goal.
The benefit of this concept comes down to the social inclusion of socially disadvantaged persons, who through implementation in this project we see as bearers of good will and mood in the community. A person who, for example, slept in a shelter or on the street until yesterday, gets a new opportunity with a roof over his head, education and a job, becomes an ambassador of goodwill in the community!
With a good example, we show the wider population about the possibilities of safe construction with ecological materials, which we plan to spread through education and workshops open to the public.
The design of the concept is entirely the author's work of the president of the Panoniart association, David Granić, and the members of the Panoniart association participated in the development of individual parts of the concept.
We see the Hrvatske šume company as a valuable institution for the purpose of realizing this project, which gave us a guarantee of the supply of wood raw materials from renewable sources for the purpose of project activities.
Long-term research: construction methods, natural materials; research on water consumption savings; green technologies, utilization of solid and liquid human waste, influence of building materials in the environment, influence of the shape and efficiency of the room of the living space.
The disciplines included in the concept were: construction, agricultural, social and environmental sectors.
We came to conclusions in a consultative manner in cooperation with experts in the aforementioned fields.
The innovative character refers to the projection of the building's space, and with this concept, we plan to become the first organization that has achieved a sustainable solution for housing people with the least amount of materials used, thus, minimally spent financial resources for the construction of a fully equipped house for 3 people.
With this concept, we are able to expand the idea indefinitely, and we have ensured this with materials available on a global level, the construction methodology is feasible and clear to every contractor, and we plan to move the education on ecological agriculture to the website and offer it to the general public for free.
The implementation of the project is therefore possible globally, depending on the laws on the construction of prefabricated buildings and the availability of the Internet network.
We think locally and act globally. We use natural materials to ensure that they are harmless to the natural environment.
With education about ecological agriculture, we refer to the responsible use of resources, thereby encouraging biodiversity.
By using hemp in the building, we enable the building to safely absorb up to 3m3 of CO2 per year.
The renewability of the choice of materials has a positive effect on more frequent exploitation and quick compensation of the resources spent for the construction of one unit.
