The collection and reuse of rainwater and a green roof as a water buffer contribute to climate adaptation. _fieldset: bodytext - img: aiste-rakauskaite-5.jpg _fieldset: fullscreen_image - size: half text: | ## Architecture Prize Amstelveen In 2023, the house was awarded the Architecture Prize Amstelveen.
