Eco Factor: Energy-efficient development harvest energy and water.
Italian design firm StudioDosi have unveiled their proposal for the 36 Calls Competition in Leeds, UK, The sustainable office building spans more about 2260 square meters with a 360 square meter public space suspended from above. The building explores innovative solutions in façade treatments making it technical and poetic at the same time.
The unique building is covered with green see-through walls, leaving the ground level free for circulation. The office space provided by the building is suitable for either one company or different companies at each floor. To reduce the overall energy demands of the development, the designers have integrated roof-top solar panels to provide renewable electricity.
The development also makes good use of natural ventilation and harvests rainwater for irrigation and other non-sanitary uses.
