Key : Water Sensitive Development

This house is a translation of water research and the sponge city concept, where rainwater is collected for local water management and flood control. If every property adopts a zero run-off approach like this, the likelihood of local flooding due to rainwater discharge will be reduced as the water is retained on each site. A large water feature is the centerpiece of the entire massing composition. All functions are placed on the perimeter, except for the main building, which houses the dining room and kitchen.
