Project Summary
A comprehensive set of measures pertaining
for sustainable construction
is considered in this high-rise building
located in Brazil. Careful attention
is given, for example, to water conservation,
waste reduction, as well as
to lowering CO2 emissions, while equal
efforts are made to utilize natural resources
such as solar and wind energy.
In this sense, the building strives to
catalyze environmental performance
and thus further the cause of regional
sustainability. The responsible stance
of the entrepreneurs is commended in
that they adopt sustainable techniques
in residential buildings to be sold directly
to consumers in the Latin American
market. Consequently, such contributions
promise to improve the quality
of life for the community. Furthermore,
the project exercises restraint
with respect to the surrounding context,
minimizing the ecological footprint
while maximizing the quality of
usable space for the inhabitants.
