Rain Harvest Home is situated inside a nature reserve on a landscape-driven development with water self-sufficiency, only two hours away from drought-prone Mexico City. The three buildings that comprise the home capture rainwater, and are connected to a reservoir and on-site treatment and storage system that supplies all of the home's water year-round.
