The Eco Hotel is underpinned by responsible environmental practice; proposing a scheme that is sustainable and stylish in equal measure.
Demonstrating a range of pioneering practices for sustainable design strategies, the building of approximately 61,000 sq m is informed by the environmental climate that it creates. Gardens incorporated into the tower and podium give amenity for guests and filter air, water and sun to optimize the immediate setting of each suite. The improved air quality also benefits the local urban environment.
In harmony with its surroundings, the hotel includes other green measures such as natural construction materials that are sourced locally where possible and the inclusion of filtered rainwater pools to minimize irrigation waste.
The chic hotel proposal contributes to the regeneration of local community and development, illustrating awareness of the synergistic relationship between people and the built environment.
The competition-winning scheme is shaped by in-depth research into ideas that question established models of the hotel industry and instead seek alternative answers.
