Have you ever heard of an agrihood? An agrihood is an organized community that integrates agriculture into a residential neighborhood. In this type of neighborhood, agriculture isn’t just an amenity, it’s a way of life. The purpose of these communities is to facilitate food production while at the same time providing recreation for members of the community.
The project will be an opportunity to revive Santa Clara’s proud agricultural heritage while delivering critical below-market rate housing for seniors and other groups struggling to stay in Santa Clara. This project has spawned some wonderful collaborations and WaterSprout was chosen to design/build a rainwater catchment system that includes a 29K gallon rainwater cistern to supply the farm irrigation. The system also includes a stormwater lift station.
Projects like these are becoming more and more popular as the need grows to architecturally design and develop a more sustainable future. Thank you to Core Companies for bringing us onboard for this groundbreaking project!
