and a 40,000-square-foot spa and fitness center; all resting on 600-foot along the
Atlantic Ocean.
The outcome is a beautiful and functional design, rich in natural materials built
following the US Green Building Council LEED Standards and certified with a Silver
rating.
To fulfill the client’s needs, obtain a sustainable environment and stay respectful
of the original conditions of the site, every detail of the renovation process had to
be taken into account. The buildings’ clean and simplified architecture was
maintained while energy efficient and sustainable practices were implemented.
The energy performance of the building was enhanced by installing energy efficient heating and cooling systems, using LED illumination to reduce electrical demands and heat build-up from lighting.
