Handling Rain: Visible Water Drainage Paths

An island resort semi-outdoor space designed for visible rainwater management. The eaves have no gutters, so rainwater falls directly from the edge of the eaves, forming a gravel-filled drainage ditch on the ground, where the stones are clean from the water; alternatively, a thick chain hangs from the eaves as a rain chain, guiding water into a ceramic pot below. The ground has a clear drainage slope. The scene depicts a wet state after rain. Avoid: using plastic gutters and downspouts, making drainage invisible with hidden pipes, having no slope for standing water on the ground, using non-water-resistant materials in semi-outdoor areas.

一處處理雨水的海島度假半戶外。屋簷沒有裝天溝,雨水直接從屋簷邊緣落下,在地面形成一道碎石鋪成的排水溝,溝裡的石頭被水沖得乾淨;或是屋簷下垂著一條粗鏈作為導水鏈,水順著鏈子流進下方的陶甕。地面有明顯的排水坡度。畫面是雨後的濕潤狀態。避免:使用塑膠天溝與落水管、把排水做成看不見的暗管、讓地面積水沒有坡度、使用不耐水的材料在半戶外。
