SOCIAL IMPACT OF HEALTHY LIVING

ThePrecedentStudiesthatweselected exemplify sustainable design that demonstrate how innovative energy, water, and IEQ strategies can greatly lesson ecological impact, and increase occupant well-being in buildings. These studies were inspirations for our ecoblock:

Kempegowda Airport - biophilic design represented in the natural landscaped and forested areas, interior and exterior potted plants, the constructed greenhouse, and residential green roofs. The Hive - biomimicry and the integration of closed-loop systems.

Burh Becc - water management and conservation of runoff, capture, and gray/black water use.

Forestis - FSC considerations with material selections of reclaimed mushroom board, and wood and glass features. Union of interior design and exterior views.

JR Kumamoto Railway Station Building - sustainable architectural development of retail, hotels, offices, and residences much like our ecoblock.

Green labels/Declare influenced most materials selections.
