This project implements water harvesting to capture and store the rainwater from the roof of the house in a natural swimming pond. This is the best kind of natural swimming pool, with an earthen bottom and lots of stones, a dock, and human interaction features to enjoy the water.

The terraces grow a wide variety of edible and medicinal species, while also helping to infiltrate the rain. The circulation system helps to filter and clean the water with the natural bacteria living around the rocks in the waterway. The pond even grows fish, and supports wildlife like fox and heron.
