Domus Detail - Water Catchment


Here was an idea for a detail of water catchment from the solar panels. Aletha had seen a similar detail on the McSween House. Another interesting idea is using the barbed columns as storm water drains, catching water from the panels and running it down inside the columns themselves.

The bump on the roof that lets the heat out is a good idea. Must try an figure out a way to get that into our design - I imagine its a very effective way of drawing hot air up and creating a bit of a draught. Its also clever how they catch the rain water.
