The rooftop was conceived in three primary strips; a vegetated roof, a folded wood deck and a paved area with lawn.  The central strip of folded wood decking provides a proliferation of uses including gathering areas, viewing benches, tanning areas and hot tub. The wood strip is interrupted by the main tectonic movement of a sunken courtyard intruding it and a guesthouse extruding it. The wood strip unfolds in some areas exposing a mirrored stainless steel surface on its underside that creates a spiraling stair pod to the courtyard and a pantry area in the guesthouse.

This is what the designers said:

We wanted to build a new environmentally-friendly town where the environment is considered
as an important part of everyday life. we propose ‘spiral garden system’: a public sustainable
place like a green heart, easy to maintain and self-sufficient, created by a joint population that will stimulate social interaction among neighbors. a light, spiral structure protected by a
transparent and suggestive mesh, the project encourages the city to create sustainable exchange spaces in different ways. this spiral contains an ascending garden where native vegetation can coexist with urban orchards, shared and planted for the neighbors for easy maintenance and serving also as a green outdoor walk. ‘spiral garden system’ increases social interaction between people, provides a place for exchanging natural products, and becomes a way for local residents to get involved with their neighborhood. to sum up, we propose an ecological project in a wayto give sustainable change to daily city lives, where humans and nature can coexist.

You can direct the water by creating a path for it to follow (water spouts, for example). The biggest problem with water spouts in the process of harvesting the water, is that they are usually very close to the soil, and you can’t place a large container underneath them.

In this case, you can place rain chains at the edges of your house which will direct a large quantity of water directly into a container. 

The garden rain chains are made of aluminum or copper, and can be found in various forms or styles: Japanese rain chain, cups rain chain, links, double links Zen loops etc.

You can also install a digital Waterflow controller, that can be connected with a computer, that checks to the local Weather Bureau for the forecast and decides if the plants need an intense watering or none! This can really save you a lot of money!

Any destination you might have for your dream house, just follow some simple rules:

• In a world invaded with modernism, a simple wooden house with a simple paint, colored door and windows and curtains in tone with the wood of the house would calm everyone.
• Your house and garden would be more relaxing with a lot of green. Just combine the paved areas with the grass and plants.
• The color harmony is the key. The floors, the ceramic or wooden flower pots, the garden furniture and the pillows are all great in ground tones.
• In a small space you can place a table and two chairs where you can drink your coffee in the morning or just sit and relax.
• You can place most of the flowers in pots because they are easier to maintain.
