项目坐落于墨西哥城以西两小时车程的山区，由三座小型建筑组成，设计秉承了永续农业的原则，在人与场地环境之间建立起一种整体而综合的关系。项目位于墨西哥Temascaltepec地区，由一座面积为1200平方英尺（约111.48平方米）的主住宅、一座面积为206平方英尺（约19.13平方米）的独立艺术工作室，以及一间面积为172平方英尺（约15.98平方米）的独立浴室组成。与墨西哥中部周边地区一样，随着气温上升和人口增加，场地内的水已经成为越来越宝贵的资源。尽管该地区雨季频繁，但采用雨水收集系统的建筑并不普遍；而从遥远的流域抽水反而成为了当地的普遍现象。本项目则采取了不同的策略，提出了一种利用水进行再生设计的综合方法。
This collection of small structures in the mountains two hours west of Mexico City incorporates permaculture principles to establish a holistic, integrated relationship between people and place. Located in Temascaltepec, Mexico, the retreat consists of a main residence (1,200 SF), a detached art studio (206 SF), and a bathhouse (172 SF). Here, as in the surrounding region of Central Mexico, water has become an increasingly precious resource as temperatures rise and populations increase. Although the region sees a robust rainy season, rainwater harvesting is not common; instead, pumping in water from distant watersheds is standard practice. Rain Harvest Home takes a different tack, proposing an integrated approach to designing regeneratively with water.

当地的冬季非常干燥，但一年中的其他时间都是潮湿多雨的，设计团队结合当地气候，着手恢复基地随着时间的推移而被侵蚀的小气候。雨水收集之家的三栋建筑均设有雨水收集系统，并与地上和地下的蓄水池系统相结合，以达到净化和储存雨水的目的，进而满足了家庭全年100%的用水需求。

Working in tandem with the local climate, where winters are extremely dry but the rest of the year is wet and rainy, the design team set out to restore the site’s microclimate which had become eroded over time. Rain Harvest Home’s trio of buildings each collect rainwater to integrate with an above- and below-ground reservoir system that purifies and stores rainwater to supply 100% of the home’s water year-round.

·场地中的水处理系统是完全独立的，主要是采用重力给水方式，包含五个水箱，能够为三栋建筑提供饮用水以及处理后的生活用水。
·不含化学物质的黑水处理系统能够净化从场地中收集的所有废水，并将其作为灰水重新加入到场地内的水循环系统中，可用于卫生间冲水，并灌溉场地内的果园。
·步道连接了场地上的各种空间和建筑，同时也作为生物湿地，将雨水引导到住宅的水库，帮助防止场地侵蚀。
·能够产生10千瓦电能的光伏阵列能够为所有建筑供电。
·场地内的生物农业花园和果园围绕共生农业的原则设计，以创造出健康、自给自足的食物系统。

· The on-site water treatment system is completely self-contained and primarily gravity-fed, containing five cisterns that provide potable and treated water.
· A chemical-free blackwater treatment system treats all wastewater on site, returning it to the site’s water cycle as greywater for use in toilets, and to irrigate the on-site orchard.
· Walking trails connect the various spaces and buildings on site, while also serving as bioswales that conduct rainwater to the home’s reservoirs and help prevent site erosion.
· A 10-kW photovoltaic array powers all three of the buildings.
· Bio-agriculture gardens and an orchard on site are designed around syntropic agriculture principles to create a healthy, self-contained food system.

作为景观中的建筑集合，每座单体建筑都设置了大面积的有顶半室外空间，以实现室内外的无缝衔接。主住宅采用了“亭”的形式，超过三分之二的建筑面积被规划为有顶的半室外空间，能够让居住者全年享有户外生活氛围。
Conceived as a collection of buildings in the landscape, each structure gives over significant area to covered outdoor space for a seamless connection between interior and exterior. The main residence takes the form of a pavilion that allows for outdoor use year-round, with over two-thirds of the building footprint dedicated to covered exterior space.

虽然住宅采用了向四个方向的水平景观开放的形式，但附近的独立浴室却通过面向天空的天井，与中心的圆形的水池来颠倒这种关系。浴室建筑与水形成诗意的对话，营造出高品质的空间体验。浴室共包含四种功能空间，分别为：热水浴室、桑拿房、蒸汽淋浴室和洗手间。建筑空间围绕着中心的冷水池组织，并向天空开放。三栋独立建筑共享了同一设计语言，即由火山岩覆盖的石砌基础与植被覆盖的屋顶。
While the main house is oriented towards horizontal views out to the landscape in all four directions, the nearby stand-alone bathhouse inverts this relationship by orienting towards sky above and water below. Offering a poetic dialogue with the experiential qualities of water, the bathhouse supports four bathing activities: hot bath, sauna, steam shower, and washroom. The rooms encircle a cold plunge pool at the center and open to the sky. All three of the structures share a tectonic vocabulary of recinto volcanic clad stone foundations and vegetated roofs.

雨水收集之家展示了一种利用水进行再生设计的模式。这种设计不仅有助于恢复场地的小气候，同时还证明了离网、自给自足的雨水收集系统的潜力，进而避免了住宅对市政水源的依赖。与此同时，水元素有助于营造空间的整体性，创造出高质量的居住体验，通过调动人体感官的形式将人与周围环境重新联系在一起。作为一种宝贵的资源，保护和改善水的质量比其他任何因素都更有可能为改善墨西哥及其他地区建筑环境的健康和可持续性做出贡献。
Rain Harvest Home offers a model for designing regeneratively with water. Not only does the design help restore the microclimate of the site, but it stands as a testament to the potential of rainwater harvesting for off-grid, self-contained water systems that eliminate reliance on municipal water sources. At the same time, the element of water contributes to the overall spatial and experiential quality of the project, reconnecting people with their environment by engaging the senses. More than any other element, conserving and improving the quality of water as a precious resource has the potential to dramatically improve the health and sustainability of built environments in Mexico, and beyond.

项目的设计由建筑师Robert Hutchison和Javier Sanchez主持，同时Javier Sanchez也是这栋住宅的主人，居住者包括他和妻子Lorenia以及两个女儿。虽然这所住宅目前是仅是一处家庭度假胜地，但很快就会转变为他们的永久住所。
The architects Robert Hutchison and Javier Sanchez are both available for interviews. Javier Sanchez is also the client, as he lives in the home with his wife Lorenia and their two daughters. The home is currently a family retreat, but will transition to a permanent residence soon.
