⚒️ Constructed using 70% locally-sourced materials, with 100% of the wood approved by the FSC. 87% of the waste generated during construction was recycled.

⚡ Covered by a ‘double-skin’ layer of aluminium for thermal insulation with 44% energy savings & sourcing 100% of electricity from 722 solar panels & geothermal energy. 

🚰 46% water savings by reusing greywater & a rooftop rainwater retention system, complimented by low-water consumption sanitary fittings & taps.

🌳 2,745 m² of accessible outdoor space & an interior lit by low-power LED lighting, access to quality views, natural lighting & high indoor air quality.
