DewDrop is a sustainable, rainwater-collecting gazebo designed for semipublic spaces, such as private rooftops and backyards.
Designed for individual / group work, study, or socializing.
Rainwater is collected in the surrounding planters. Excess water is stored underneath the gazebo for future use. By retaining rainwater, DewDrop protects the sewer system from overloading and polluting the nearby rivers.
