The «Telaithrion Project» is an eco-community that hopes to put in actual perspective, that a self sufficient sustainable society that is based on true incentives and selfless giving, can exist, and that can be applied to practice in everyday life, and that even if the entire culture of humanity adopted it could flourish.

The Geodesic Dome Cluster: In the center of the community, the Geodesic Dome Cluster will faction like the heart of the entire project. Composed of 5 interconnected Geodesic Domes, all of them with multiple uses and different purposes. These domes will be available to all, they will work as common spaces and they will house educational, communication and support facilities, art and music center, science and research center, athletics and entertainment and in large scale seminars or conferences or other events they will even work for hospitality reasons as well. The Yurt Modules: For residential and housing purposes 3 individual Yurt Modules will be used. Each Yurt Module will consist of 7 interconnected individual yurts. In the common space yurt there will be central heating that will provide heat to the other satellite yurts, bathrooms, small kitchen, library, terminal server and other shared facilities. The Forest Garden: the entire community will be immersed inside a magnificent forest garden. Many waterways and streams that will start from the artificial lakes, that will be filled with a natural way, will surround this belt to irrigate the forest and offer a sustainable climate for both plants and people. Only organically grown crops would be grown, without the use of dangerous fertilizers and pesticides. Most of the plants and the trees in the garden will be eatable and they will support the nutritional needs of the community. Also many supporting structures like, tool sheds, greenhouse, compost facilities etc will be spread out around the community. Energy Study: An energy consumption study has already been made for the cover of the energy needs for the project. A multi renewable energy system will be used with the main focus being on the wind power production. Also small-scale photovoltaic panels, a small hydroelectric installation even smart panels or geothermal in a combination of all these applications but with focus to our main concern beeing the strategic management of energy consumption.
