L AN D S CA PING LANDSCAPING
The primary foundation of Venao West is creating a sustainable and healthy environment for the community. To achieve this, environmental facts and analysis are taken into consideration to address the location’s long dry seasons. Through conscious reforestation and rainwater harvesting the project not only will sustain over time but have a regenerative, lush and evergreen landscape as well as a rich biodiverse ecosystem.
REF O RE S TAT IO N
AND EDITA BLE FORE ST GARD ENS The project will contain within extensive areas designated for reforestation and edible food forest gardens. Trees protect the soil from effects of tropical heat, rain and wind. Soil temperatures are lower under tree canopies, permitting reaccumulation of organic matter that restores soil structure and microbiota and enhances moisture- and nutrient-holding abilities. This is made by consciously planting multiple different species of trees including natives, timber, etc. On the other hand, also areas will be designated for food forests which are manmade edible ecosystems, a consciously designed community of mutually beneficial plants and animals intended for food production.
WAT E R M A NA GE M E N T H ARVESTING
The project will have sustainable overall water management, though rainwater catchment, as well as organic pools, bio filters and rainwater harvesting. Through earthworks and landscape design, the project will naturally harvesting rainwater into the soil so moisture lingers longer into the dry season while simultaneously reducing flooding in the wet season, infiltrating more into the land, buffering the extremes. Some of the earthworks imply infiltration basins, terraces, check dams, diversion swales and contour plantings.
