An understated design element on some modern houses is the inclusion of rain chains instead of downspouts, as shown here in this new house designed by Feldman Architecture with Ground Studio.



Rain chains are a great way to add a unique design detail to your home as they help direct water away from the foundation of your home, preventing it from weakening over time.

Another benefit of rain chains is that they have the ability to transform into a decorative water feature every time it rains.
