It is a proposal for an integrated cyclical ecosystem where each function’s output is another’s input. We view the home as a biological machine to filter, process and recycle what we conventionally think of as waste – sewage, effluent, garbage, waste water. The Probe suggests that we should move closer to nature and challenges the wisdom of annihilating the bacteria that surround us. It proposes strategies for developing a balanced microbial ecosystem in the home.

Helen and Josh Nissenboim, a young couple from Charleston, have taken a 19th-century building and turned it into a very comfortable living space. They’ve added modern appliances to their kitchen, but maintained the vintage feeling by incorporating an old farmhouse table. They have also traded shopping in the produce section for picking fruits and vegetables out of their garden and off their citrus trees in the back yard. The home also features six fire places that the two plan to refurbish in the the future. Until that time paintings and second hand mirrors find a home on their mantles. This home is a prime example of what can be done with the designs of the past. Whether it be grandpa’s old pocket watch or a 1,200-square-foot structure it seems to have a place in modern life.
