Eco Factor: Sustainable development to achieve LEED Silver certification.
Griffin Enright Architects have designed a sustainable mixed-use project for Venice California that will feature living units, office and retail space and a new church. The development will also include a landscaped pedestrian walkway along the back of the units that connect the residential parking areas and allow the work spaces to open on to and interact with the walkway.
Designed with the intent of achieving a LEED certified silver rating the development will include solar energy generators, roof garden and the use of recycled and renewable building materials. Energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems will also be incorporated to reduce the building’s energy demands. Moreover natural ventilation and natural day-lighting are also included into the project.
