在建筑环境中重新利用雨水
该项目的重点是在建筑环境中重新利用雨水，将其用于厕所和洗衣房（占房屋用水量的 51%），从而减少对集中供水系统的依赖。该设计旨在有效地收集和利用雨水，将水过滤集成到房屋结构中，并采用重力供水机制。这种设计便于用户互动，并利用了势能和重力的性质，避免了使用水泵和复杂的机制，而这些在同类产品中已被证明会产生负面影响。

As designers, I believe we have the power and responsibility to create a positive impact in the society and environment around us. Although being raised in Spain I had the chance to study my full degree in the UK, as one of my goals is to be able to travel to gain skills and knowledge from different cultures and design approaches.
I graduated in July, I have tried to focus my career on environment and humanitarian design, this project reflecting this focus. This project was also presented to New Designers, where it was awarded with the Impact Award, being later covered by media and press.
