design code
what is built on a plot and how. it binds every holder, every track and every zone of cyber valley, and every assignee. the city and its residents amend it by proposal and vote under hak sewa template 10.5; a completed building keeps the rule it was built under unless an amendment improves its position. the reasoning behind each number is on zoning system.
1. footprint
| parameter | value |
|---|---|
| ground footprint | 10% of the plot area |
| floor area | twice the footprint where two floors are used: 20% of the plot area |
| basement | counts as a floor where it rises above natural grade |
a plot of 1,000 m² carries 100 m² of footprint and up to 200 m² of floor area. the figure is fixed per plot by its area on the estate map.
2. garden and water
| element | share of the plot |
|---|---|
| garden — herbs, shrubs, trees, food beds | at least [70]% |
| pond | at least [3]% and at least [10] m², 2 m deep at the centre with gently sloping banks, for swimming and for edible aquaculture; every plot has one |
| paths and terraces | the remainder |
3. light balance
all sunlight falling on the plot is allocated across these receivers:
| receiver | minimum | maximum |
|---|---|---|
| light absorbers — photovoltaics, heat collectors | 1% | 10% |
| water bodies | 1% | 10% |
| transparent surfaces — greenhouses | 2% | 10% |
| lawn or ground cover | — | 5% |
| herbs or shrubs | 30% | — |
| low trees or canopy | 40% | — |
4. biodiversity
at least [60] plant species per plot, of which at least [30] are food or medicine, counted at SLF and at each SLF renewal. species on the estate's invasive list, published in the register, count for nothing.
5. built form
| element | rule | source |
|---|---|---|
| height | two storeys above natural grade, 15 m at most | Bali provincial height limit |
| springs | 15 m buffer around every spring, left in native cover | water policy |
| roofs | rain-collecting surfaces food-grade or stainless steel; the first rinse of each shower washes the roof into the garden, the rest fills the tank; all rain caught on the plot belongs to the plot | water policy |
| materials | natural and low-carbon: timber, bamboo, stone, lime, Roman cement, rammed earth, ferrocement; any colour | air policy |
| paints and finishes | water-based, zero-VOC and lead-free; natural oils, waxes and lime washes | air policy |
| prohibited materials | asbestos, lead-based paint, solvent-based coatings, PVC in potable lines, treated timber with arsenic or chromium | air policy, water policy |
| lighting | main outdoor light 2200 K or warmer, shielded downward; decorative neon and RGB light shielded and off by 23:00 | light policy |
| fences | living hedges and open fences with passages for wildlife | biodiversity, section 4 |
6. water and wastewater
| system | rule |
|---|---|
| supply | PPR pipes; rainwater tanks sized under Annex F (Utilities, Access and Mobility) |
| blackwater | a biodigester on every plot; its gas cooks, its digestate feeds trees |
| greywater | treated on the plot to BOD below 30 mg/L before it returns to the soil |
| household products | soaps, detergents, cleaners and cosmetics that break down in soil within 5 months |
7. energy
each plot makes its own energy and stays off the public grid. the sources combine to suit a cloud-forest site:
| source | where it fits |
|---|---|
| photovoltaics | within the absorber band of section 3 |
| micro-hydro | on a plot a stream crosses, within the spring buffer rule |
| small wind | on ridges and open slopes |
| biogas | from the plot's biodigester, for cooking |
| batteries | sized to carry the plot through [3] days of cloud |
| generator | backup only, under air policy |
8. waste
organic waste becomes soil on the plot under compost. glass, metal, paper and plastic leave clean and sorted for the hub under recycling.
9. public rules
provincial and Buleleng rules on height, architecture, slope and ravine setbacks, water catchment, sempadan sungai, subak and jalan desa apply alongside this code. where a public rule is stricter, it governs.
10. measurement and publication
| duty | frequency | who pays | published |
|---|---|---|---|
| discharge test | quarterly | holder | ledger and register |
| soil test | annual | holder | ledger and register |
| species count | at SLF and each SLF renewal | holder | register |
each result is published with the plot number and without the holder's name. two periods in a row without a published result count as a design code breach for the assignment fee under hak sewa template 4.5, and as a default under 16.1 of that deed once the notice period passes.
11. district balance
the register publishes for each district its total footprint and its light balance. unused footprint may pass to another plot of the same district from wave 2, against a settlement fee under hak sewa template 10.4, where the district stays within 10% footprint and every light-balance minimum.
