ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY BUILDING
We are trying to solve water deficiency by collecting rainwater with specific ceiling applications.
Our solution is collecting rainwater by including government programs to change the ceiling application and form of some houses. This makes a difference by collecting the rainwater almost automatically. This water will be collected inside a tank located in a specific area within the house. The house owners and people who live there can use the water that is collected from the system for daily purposes.
Although water is a basic requirement for human life, there are millions of people in many countries which have not been able to access clean water though for the most minimum requirements until now. We are trying to solve water deficiency in communities within a tropical climate range and improve the water saving quality and quantity by collecting the water that falls in the ceilings and storing it.
Our solution serves people that live within tropical areas, letting them store the rainwater in their houses and use it whenever they want. It will make part of the community life easier.
There are several advantages that would help the community to install and follow the project, to take care of the water resource and stop the problems of shortages.
The advantages are:
- Reducing the exploitation of groundwater
- Reducing regional flooding
- Promote local wisdom
- Adding residential building area
- Reducing the risk of flooding in residences

We have taken some studies about how the water issues are going to be relevant in the future.
As you mith know the hydrodraulic footprint is one of the most import things that were talked in the conference of COP26.
We have to evaluate the overall of water footprint of hydraulic fracturing of unconventional shale gas and oil throughout the world.
This helping us know about the inconveniences of water and how the waste of this resource can gradually damage life.
- Taking action to combat climate change and its impacts (Sustainability)
- Concept: An idea being explored for its feasibility to build a product, service, or business model based on that idea
Well, we have been choosing the idea of this project after looking the architecture of the Sumatra houses.
Sumatran people usually build the houses lined up the highway and facing each other, separated by a highway.
This architecture has been used for many years in Indonesia, the problem is that the other countries are still without this plan of harvesting the water.
- A new use of an existing technology (e.g. application to a new problem or in a new location)
he Difficulty in the over-exploitation in the aquifer springs to extract the water for daily purposes has caused an alarm on the population and the possible case that the water will soon be scarce based on the climatic changes. This encouraging to implement the architecture of the people of Indonesia and implement them in more places so that this technology helps us to collect water based on the process of collecting and storing rainwater with the help of artificially designed systems.
