The challenge

Build the first multi-family residential building in Sant Cugat with high environmental sustainability standards, demonstrating that A-rated energy performance is achievable in new-build housing. Parallel development of an industrialised façade patent.

Our approach

HAUS led end-to-end project management, coordinating architecture, engineering and certification. An industrialised high-performance façade was developed and patented, and the publication "Understanding Espai Natura" was released.

The results

Verde GBCe certification and A-rated energy performance. Non-renewable primary energy use of 23 kWh/m²/year and emissions of 3 kg CO₂/m²/year. Multiple international and national awards.
