The 2023 Sustainability Giants of INTERIOR DESIGN have created three eco-friendly projects. Here are 3 Eco-Friendly Projects by Sustainability Giants in 2023
ADVANCING BUILDING DESIGNS FOR SUSTAINABILITY
A Cultural Center Featuring Recycled Materials
FXCollaborative transformed a citrus greenhouse on the former Rockefeller family estate in Tarrytown, New York, using adaptive reuse and redesign. The new David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center is the outcome. The team built a new community hub with theatrical lighting, retractable inside seating, a terrace, and cutting-edge MEP systems that allow the building to achieve net-zero annual energy use while preserving as much of the existing structure as possible.
A Former Mall is Reimagined as a Contemporary Office Space
The environment gains from every conserved structure. One outstanding instance is HLW International’s recent conversion of a former retail outlet in Los Angeles into a creative campus. The company converted the building, which was formerly a Macy’s department store, into a 240,000 square foot speculative office development.
LaGuardia Airport Terminal Redesign Follows Sustainability Principles
Delta Airlines’ Terminal C is a comfortable and welcoming area for guests, with towering interior spaces and plenty of natural light thanks to Corgan. Different spaces are connected by site-specific art that was commissioned in collaboration with the nearby Queens Museum. Sculptor Virginia Overton created Skylight Gems, an installation that invites viewers to appreciate the thrill and spectacle of flight, by suspending a collection of salvaged skylights from the atrium ceiling. To manage glare and heat gain, the design incorporates a sizable thermal storage system as well as electrochromic smart glass.
