planting an edible garden
has multiple benefits.
this leads to healthier
produce in the home, less
consumption of toxic
chemicals and a
stronger sense of
connection with the food
you consume.

utilizing roof gardens
reduces the albedo rate
thus, minimizing the
heat island effect. it
also helps bring down energy
costs to help reduce our
carbon footprint on
the planet.

toilet flushing and
irrigation is supplied
by captured rainwater.
the slanted roofs funnel rainwater into the courtyard
where it is met by mini bogs that assist the
filtration system. overflow
from an intricate above ground pipe system
pours into the
underground cistern.

installing porous
paving helps
reduce runoff and
cleans the water before
it hits the water table.
this will also help keep our
rivers and drinking
water clean. when a
fountain is installed, use
the collected rain for
the main water supply.

sustainable urban
design is about putting the
pedestrian first,
public transportation second
and the car third. walk-
able communities promote
better health, cleaner
air and a stronger sense
of place.
