Through the use of native plants, rainwater collection, biofilters, and edible garden, the idea of renewable energy is everywhere. The perFORM[D]ance House reveals a holistic design approach that incorporates landscape elements with the built environment to produce a powerful synergy. All the plants in our design were chosen based on their ability to perform specific tasks, such as providing shade for the water tanks, filtering rainwater, and supplying fresh herbs and vegetables. For our perFORM[D]ance house, the exterior deck is just as important as the interior.
