DESIGNING A HOUSE IN GOA: SERIES PART 6 : OUTDOOR PAVING
With the goal to reconnect with nature, each element in our homes is designed to be harmonious with nature. When it comes to external paving, we tend to maximize permeable paving rather than creating a non-pervious concrete surface. This typology allows the rain water runoff from the site to be absorbed back into the ground hence allowing the underground aquifers to recharge and reducing the storm water run off from the site that burdens the municipal drainage system (when they exist) and flooding of low lying areas (when they don’t).
