Hi,
Apprecited the efforts involved in this RWH project.
Looks like the Pipes are spread across the building which will kill the asthetic of the Elevation. Since the RWH Project is taken Post the Construction of Terrace and other Balconys which needs lot of Customizing.
But now a days for RWH Project, Terrace water is made to slope at one side and water flow to the Pipes and same from the Other Open areas to flow till ground level and make an arrangement to flow to Sump with all necessary arragement to get the filtered water.

This is my cousin house which was built between 1910-1915 more than centuary 
. In earlier days, RWH was not necessary as the system itself was very well planned & also the setback space is around 8-10ft with no concrete around the house. Hence all the rainwater will be absorbed by mother earth.
