From the Rob Paulus website:
"Passive solar in plan and section, the house also captures all rainwater on the roof in a sculptural steel pipe gutter that will spill into a 1000 gallon storage tank to be re-used for courtyard planting."

From materialicious entry:
"I love the fact that Paulus’ practice follows what they call the Green Choice, focusing on LEED certified projects, infill building, renovations + adaptive reuse. Be sure to check out the firm’s other fantastic projects like Barrio Metalico, The Icehouse Lofts, indigoMODERN Lofts, and the Silverado Flats..."
