At Morgan Square, townhouses with small front gardens face pedestrian walkways. Garages are behind homes, facing alleyways.

Drainpipes lead rain from roof to below-ground flow-through planters. In these, engineered soil filters pollutants. Some runoff bubbles up for irrigation and inviltrates into ground. Buried drains carry heavy flows to the municipal storm-drain system.

Villa D’Este also has housing facing pedestrian walkways, with garages behind and additional parking on facing street.

Below left, roof and street runoff is partly filtered in below-ground media in utility courtyards. Shrubs will hide equipment as they grow.

Below right, this development also uses tree-well filters. These flow-through planters are buried boxes filled with media engineered to filter runoff and also support plantings. Click for larger images.
