Bancroft Hotel

BERKELY

This landscape and integrated water management design are part of renovations occurring on this historic hotel adjacent to the UC Berkeley campus. Through a partnership with the UC Botanical Garden, site-specific native plants have been selected to replace exotic plant material and showcase the potential for native species in an ornamental setting. A proposed graywater system treats wastewater from laundry services for reuse in irrigation. Rainwater will be collected in rain barrels located throughout the site, creating an interesting visual component and providing transparency for the ecological design elements of the project.
