A sustainable home
designed around
Ecology &
Wellness
The concept of 2238 Market was to create a collection of very personal homes, thoughtfully designed and individually composed. While this is apparent throughout the architecture and interiors, there is an underlying beauty that was built into the homes – that of sustainability, wellness and a respect for both our local and global environment.
This was the goal from the outset of our design and has been intentionally incorporated into every aspect of the building and homes – from the architecture itself right down to specific materials and finishes. This is a truly eco-friendly residence, offering improved wellness matched by an enduring commitment to the environment.
Many of these features will go unseen but have clear benefits, from better interior air-quality to reduced utility costs. We want to outline some of the key aspects that have made this one of the few LEED Platinum residences, and a home that will help reduce your personal carbon footprint.
