Field Form launched Flood Club to empower and support our flood-prone neighbors with actionable solutions to reduce flood risk
Who We Are
Gowanus-based landscape design-build firm Field Form has developed a set of holistic drainage mitigation strategies to complement our landscape services for private residences.
We have implemented these “drainage retrofits” on several homes in the Gowanus uplands where they have proven highly effective at reducing on-site flooding and eliminating nearly all outflow to the sewer system.
Together with our flood-prone neighbors, clients, friends, and industry partners — and everyone we know who is increasingly obsessed with stormwater — we are Flood Club.
Our Vision
A recent study by Rebuild by Design shows that the city averages a 2 to 1 return on investment in flooding infrastructure.
Flood Club offers an opportunity to achieve a significantly greater return and at a relatively low cost.
Executing this work lot by lot, and scaling it up to reach beyond the experience of individual homeowners is imperative if the Gowanus community wishes to achieve measurable and transformative success.
Let’s build flood resilience together. Join the Club!
