Eco-Efficient Building
Inspired by Singapore’s “Tree House” Ocean Spa Plaza will pioneer Vertical Garden sustainable technology in Gibraltar.
Also known as “Living Walls” or “Green Walls”, this environmentally sympathetic technique allows vegetation to grow vertically across vast areas, creating an envelope of oxygen-emitting / carbon dioxide absorbing foliage that transforms urban environments into livable, cool, sound-insulated zones which are rich in biodiversity. Such green walls will cover 70% of the circumference of floors one to six.
As environmentally friendly, renewable energy technology advances, photovoltaics allow buildings to convert solar energy into direct current electricity. Ocean Spa Plaza will feature a vertical southwest-facing wall of photovoltaic cells to harness the abundant Mediterranean sunlight and efficiently add power back into the building’s grid.
A first for Gibraltar, electric car charging points will also be provided in the multi-storey car park..
