Thank you for doing all this, Architect Filipe! We had you as a guest speaker at our Institute (in the Philippines) last year and that opened my mind about sustainable architecture. All the best to your team at UGREEN! Hoping to work with you someday!

This reminds me of older homes where the gutter system collected rainwater in a cistern situated in the basement. A hand pump in the kitchen sink would draw water from the cistern for all their cooking and cleaning needs. It would have to be heated, of course. But these ecosystems that we are now seeing are just old systems that I’ve been around forever.. I’ve even seen a well where the house was built around it so you didn’t have to brave the cold winter weather to get fresh drinking water.
