The project goal was to create a sustainable living

community rooted in local culture with LEED Green

Building Certification. The project is comprised of

mixed use residential and retail development, mostly

on-structure, with a combination of villas, row/town

houses and mid- and high-rise apartments. SWA

collaborated with the architect and design engineers

to utilize applicable green strategies to cope with and

feature on-site energy use, water and waste recycling.

gardens to implement responsible reuse of existing

farmland for housing, and features food production

for the community in a way that fosters appreciation

of traditional cultivation practices.
