The idea of the project initiated from the concept of utilizing the site area in a way to maximize the footprint of green open space to ensure a water sensitive approach for the area. The site being located in Chittagong, having intense rainfall for a long period of time each year, demanded a solution that ensures an effective water management system in order to manage excess runoffs of the site. The approach therefore was to introduce a blue-green infrastructure to manage water during monsoon as well as store as much rain water as possible for day to day usage.
