The water is directed via the gutter/scupper into a small concrete container that sends it to a holding cistern, from where it is slowly released into the nearby wetlands. It's a responsible design that also celebrates the water and makes the occupants aware of the house's interaction with it.

"We do in fact get rain, and attention needs to be paid to it," Farkas adds. "Roof overhangs and well-detailed gutters and downspouts can turn a necessity into an amenity."

5. Let the water flow. While you should always keep your gutters and downspouts clean, it's particularly important to make sure nothing blocks flowing water during a storm. Let's face it, the water will want to go somewhere. If it's not down and away, it'll be in your roof and attic. Conduct a visual inspection of your gutters and downspouts to be sure nothing blocks the flow of water from your roof and away from your home.

Eggleston Farkas Architects The roofing is made of galvanized metal panels. I don't recall if this is the exact product we used, but if not, it's pretty close: http://www.aepspan.com/roof/prodDetailea25.html?id=24 The wood you are seeing is the roof framing, which was a custom designed and engineered system of paired rafters with layered sleepers above. The gutter and brackets are a custom designed fabrication. A description was published in Residential Architect magazine. Here's a link: http://www.residentialarchitect.com/architects/rain-go-away.aspx

What are the gutters made from?

I love the barn style door, the creative water spout, and the time with the stained wood.

Like water going into container. Could we do this with water going into a bird water bowl for them to drink and bathe?
