Premise
A planter designed as part of a rainwater system
The project covered the development of modular Eco Planter units — exterior street furniture combining a decorative role with an ecological one.
Portfolio
Modular planters integrated with the rainwater system
The design and build of modular planters in aluminium and composite panels, made to connect directly to the building's downpipe and rainwater harvesting system.

Overview
The project covered the development of modular Eco Planter units — exterior street furniture combining a decorative role with an ecological one.
Each planter was designed as a self-contained, fully welded aluminium module with a rainwater feed taken directly from the building's downpipe.
Execution
A system of Ø55 mm pipes and connectors was used, with a flexible hose and a set of diffusers distributing water inside the planter.
The body was made from 50×50×3 mm aluminium profiles, 3 mm ACM panels and timber-effect cladding in Light Winchester Oak. Powder-coated details in PMS 160 Brown complete the unit and give the design a...
Construction
A lightweight aluminium module for outdoor use
Each planter was designed as a self-contained, fully welded aluminium module with a rainwater feed taken directly from the building's downpipe.
Water flow
Rainwater fed directly into the body of the planter
A system of Ø55 mm pipes and connectors was used, with a flexible hose and a set of diffusers distributing water inside the planter.
Outcome
Street furniture that balances aesthetics and ecology
The body was made from 50×50×3 mm aluminium profiles, 3 mm ACM panels and timber-effect cladding in Light Winchester Oak. Powder-coated details in PMS 160 Brown complete the unit and give the design a warm, natural character.
