he Summer has been awarded a 4 star Green Star - Multi Unit Residential Pilot certified rating following its participation as a national pilot project. The project was developed by boutique company Match in partnership with Hawaiian and was designed by architect Professor Geoffrey Warn of Donaldson Warn Architects, with environmental design assistance from Lincolne Scott Engineers.
Located on South Beach Esplanade in South Fremantle, The Summer will incorporate an extensive range of environmental design techniques to effectively reuse around 80 per cent of site waste, provide over 90 per cent of apartments with a dual aspect to allow natural ventilation and introduce moveable screens on balconies to provide solar shading.
The property will include energy efficient appliances, rainwater storage and significantly reduce operating costs by implementing energy conservation principles, rather than those of a conventional base building.
The Green Star - Multi Unit Residential Pilot rating tool was created to enable building owners and developers to minimise the environmental impacts of their developments, capitalise on the environmental benefits of their initiatives and receive recognition for more environmentally sustainable design.
