Water is one of the most overlooked design challenges in modular hospitality. Whether it’s rainfall variability or municipal restrictions, a self-contained cabin must be smart about how it sources, uses, and recycles water.
Rainwater harvesting
Well-designed roofs and tanks can capture enough to supply basic needs — especially if paired with low-flow fixtures and responsible usage. Clean catchment design is key.
Greywater recycling
Shower, hand basin, and kitchen sink water can all be recycled to irrigate plants or even reused inside the unit with proper filtration. This reduces pressure on tanks and extends autonomy.
Blackwater management
A separate system (usually vacuum or compost-based) ensures hygiene and limits the need for complicated plumbing. The most cost-effective systems are modular and mobile.
Conclusion
Smart water design adds upfront cost — but saves money and hassle over the life of the unit. We believe it’s worth doing right from day one.
