ENERGY TRANSITION
Amenities aligned with sustainable values Greenhouse Sthlm will include a restaurant“ with a focus on sustainability – in both large and small ways”, a fitness and pool facility and a ground-floor café offering concierge services.
These amenities reduce the need for residents to travel outside the neighbourhood for daily services, reinforcing the 15-minute neighbourhood concept.
The development actively welcomes“ actors to the neighbourhood who have a strong commitment to driving issues around sustainability and the necessary climate transition”.
This tenant curation strategy creates a community of practice where sustainability expertise and commitment are concentrated, potentially accelerating innovation and knowledge sharing.
Global significance The development’ s website frames the project’ s broader significance, saying:“ Our cities are growing. More and more people should live in them without increasing the climate footprint.
“ Greenhouse Sthlm is a step on the way towards a smarter, more comfortable and sustainable way of living.”
As cities worldwide confront the challenge of accommodating growing populations while reducing environmental impact, Greenhouse Sthlm offers evidence that comprehensive sustainable design – spanning materials, energy, biodiversity, community and long- term carbon accounting – can deliver commercially successful, liveable neighbourhoods that actively contribute to climate solutions.
