Downspouts like in the previous photo require some sort of splash block, so that large amounts of water do not erode the landscape around a house. Here is one way of creating one: using stones held in a small square frame. The California poppies poking up through the stones are a nice — I'm guessing

external downspout brings water from a butterfly roof to the lower level of the house (the area in the foreground is a green roof), where it turns into an internal downspout. It's worth noting how the architects carefully aligned the downspout with the windows, requiring only a slight jog up above.
The downspout of this butterfly roof shows where the water will run off, right at the crevice where the two slopes meet.

I love the idea of the rain chain rather than a downspout from the gutters, but I'd have a reservoir at the bottom for watering the plants.
removing your downspouts to replace them with a rain chain, you might as well take it to the next level and enhance the area where the rain settles. Some stacked rocks or a ceramic pot with a hole drilled through the bottom looks great and helps the rain make its way into the ground.
