Water Strategy
Initially water needs across the project were mapped in order to understand water provision and drainage needs
The tilted roof dictated an efficient rainwater collection point

Rainwater could then be easily fed to toilets through the services void due to their linear location along the back of the building
Water Needs
Rainwater Collection
Excess rainwater could then be fed through the central street planting
Acoustic Qualities-The Sound of Rain on a Metal Roof

As I was building with corregated steel I was aware of the accoustic qualities of rain on a metal roof. I decided to embrace this quality in order to juxtapose the sense of internal comfort when aware of the external weather.
I explored this further in my Technology Case Study.
