By using a unique three-part wall system that traps water from fog particles, while creating a buffer from the harsh sunlight and heat.

How It Works

Our Team.
We were all students of Design for Sustainability at the Savannah College of Art and Design. This project was a collaboration between our different majors to produce a sustainable solution to the housing issues in low-income areas in drought and fog-prone Los Angels.
