Systems in Action: How They Work Together
Apple Haven’s systems aren’t just sustainable, they’re interconnected:
Solar panels → feed into microgrid storage, powering
Mobility hubs + water pumps → sustain
Vertical farms on rooftops of CLT homes
Everything loops, Nothing is wasted.
Scalability & Global Adaptation
Could Apple Haven work for a city of 5 million?
Yes!!! How:
Modular microgrids scale per district
Prefab CLT housing reduces construction timelines for mass housing
Closed loop water systems are already used in industries and can be city-wide
Mobility hubs support EV buses and railways in high-density areas
In warmer climates, solar panels thrive. In wetter areas, rainwater collection can be added to the loop. Apple Haven is adaptable, not just ideal.
What Didn’t Make the Cut And Why
I considered:
Wind turbines: Needed too much space and consistent wind
Concrete eco-bricks: Still involved cement, so we went with CLT
Desalination plants: Effective but not sustainable for inland cities
I chose realistic, science-backed, scalable options instead.
