| WATER
is a crucial resource to life that should be enhanced by future
development. This design integrates building with landscape.
A vegetated roof system collects and filters stormwater into
the building core. This core collects and supplies all household
plumbing elements contained within it. Black and gray water
are released to a primary septic tank below the core and eventually
released as effluent to the "living garden." Garden
beds along the entry receive irrigation and nutrients to provide
site-yield vegetables. This system is engineered to accept
and treat residential wastewater from neighboring homes in
addition to the primary residence to lessen off-site dependency. |
