Eco Factor: Sustainable residences harvest renewable solar energy.
Fosters and Partners have collaborated with d’Unienville and Associates Architects to develop an environmentally friendly masterplan for a series of sustainable residences in Corniche Bay, Mauritius. The development blends harmoniously with the lush landscape and fingers of tropical vegetation have been inserted in the buildings as well.
The residential development includes water collectors to harvest rainwater and reuse it as gray water within the development. Solar panels have also been incorporated in the building to generate renewable solar energy. The undulating roof allows for cross ventilation in order to minimize energy consumption.
