The Three most important parts of Coconut Tree that can be the future in the world of Sustainable Architecture.
The Husk
This is the rough exterior of the coconut which is made up of the coir (tough fibres). The fibre was used as stuffing to make homemade mattresses. The whole husk is also great to plant with, fuel fires and make toys. It is also used in interiors.
