Provisions include; passive wall construction using sustainable materials, green roof + living wall to serve the on-site rainwater collection + treatment system, and triple-pane glass windows to provide beautiful views even during the cold of winter.

A solarium + fitness studio combine to provide the most relaxing experience for yoga to take place. The living wall serves as a thermal mass of earth + plants to absorb + radiate heat throughout the space while improving indoor air quality for the occupants. Collecting rainwater through the copper pipes attached to the roof, the living wall also treats the water for use in the facility’s toilets, sinks, and showers. Sustainable + commercial grade resilient flooring is utilized across the floor area to work with the user’s motions + reduce tension in the body during exercise.
