Is there a drainage system installed for the sunken pit? And how does it work? »

Vikrant Sharma Homez there must be as it has pebbles lined in it ; the water is absorbed by the ground and extra water passes to the outer drain if there is a Slope .

what do you use for gutters on a contempory house »
· Comment · 20 months ago
Mathew Amaro Designs Flat roofs such as this sometimes don't use gutters. Water is diverted to drains much like a floor drain
with the use of built-up material under the roofing which may be a single ply membrane. The downspouts many times are also hidden in the walls. All of this adds to the clean horizontal lines common in mid century modern style of architecture.

Huy Ho Flat roofs may drain through the soffits, or walls which is troublesome if repairs are requied. Also depending on climate, you want the downspout exposed to the sun so it wont freeze up. Commonly flatroofs will drain from a scupper of the side. There are only a few profiles to choose from but if curvy is your thing, use k-style. If you are more of a square, use NS-style. Minimum 5" but 6" is better

pit possibilities - I love the pit. I've always wanted to create a warm sand pit like the one you've got here but with a system for heating the hand or tiny pebbles and a roll top cover. Could you envision something like that? Guests can wiggle their toes in warm sand while enjoying a drink - up hear in the chilly midwest. »
