Eco-Friendly Hotel Design: Where Luxury Meets Sustainability
Luxury Reframed: Responsible, Refined and Resilient
Conscious travelers expect high design with low impact. Sustainable hotels win on brand equity, operating costs and guest loyalty.
Passive First, Systems Second
- Orientation & shading: Optimize solar gain, add deep overhangs, screens, and fins.
- High-performance envelope: Insulation, low-E glazing, and airtightness reduce load.
- Natural ventilation: Courtyards, atria, and cross-breezes cut HVAC demand.
Water Wisdom
- Rainwater harvesting: Supplement irrigation and flushing.
- Low-flow fixtures & aerators: Reduce consumption without sacrificing experience.
- Greywater recycling: Close the loop for landscaping.
