Sustainability Report
Embodied carbon
Design Strategies:
-
Use of durable, long-life materials (stone, wood, porcelain, glass) to reduce frequent replacement.
-
Locally sourced Brazilian materials to reduce transport emissions.
-
Custom millwork and furniture designed for longevity, repair, or relocation.
Operational Emissions / Energy
Design Strategies:
-
Extensive daylighting via inverted roofs, clerestory glazing, and large windows reduces artificial lighting demand.
-
Efficient HVAC supported by zoning clarity and compact circulation, minimizing conditioned areas.
-
Native landscaping provides microclimatic cooling and reduced energy demand.
-
High-performance glazing (Guardian Glass) to limit solar heat gain.
Service and maintenance emissions
Design Strategies:
-
Long-life materials requiring minimal maintenance.
-
Freestanding furniture and dry-assembly interior elements allow repair, replacement, or reconfiguration without major waste.
-
Porcelain flooring and durable plaster systems minimize cleaning and replacement emissions.
Afterlife
-
Flexible zoning and modular furniture allow future reprogramming of lounges, private rooms, or operational areas without structural changes.
-
Furniture and millwork designed for disassembly, repair, and relocation.
-
Dry-assembly construction in interior elements facilitates selective replacement rather than demolition.
-
Emphasis on adaptability and longevity in materials and interiors.
