I mean, I really do like this, but I was unsure of some details, some have been partially answered here.
1. Irrigation: They say there will be an irrigation system in place, will it be using collected rainwater? It doesn't sound like it. Irrigating grass with more valuable drinking water is not ideal.
2. Maintenance: Will the grass need to be cut?
I'm no botanist, so there may not be real options with these restrictions, but a short growing (so no need for cutting) drought resistant (so no need for watering) preferably native plant would be much better IMO.
Of course, our society worships grass, so it's hardly surprising to see grass used.
