Hello, We really like the water tanks. Are they used for landscape irrigation, or domestic water use--or both? Are they custom-made? Thank you, merge studio »

Feldman Architecture, Inc. These specific tanks are used for landscape irrigation. The tanks themselves are not custom, but are covered with a custom wrapper.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
A closer look at the cisterns illustrates that the design and placement of these objects are important. These are substantial metal cisterns (I think there may even be one more hiding behind the pair) that are placed at the far end of the house, down a slight slope. The placement reduces their visual impact.

Water will become a much more valuable resource, just as it was when you had to carry every drop into your house by hand. We’ll need to grow as water thrifty as the Victorians were, with their average use of 20 liters a day. The Victorian cook was also a terrific recycler and wasted no scrap of food.See how this modern home captures the rain
