- Energy efficiency. Ample skylights provide natural sunlight. LED lights are only turned on after sunset.
- Water efficiency. The ReFlow sink - ReFlow, a product designed by Minarc, is a simplistic design that allows for reusing water by repurposing the greywater from washing your hands to flush the toilet.
