Best multigenerational housing design for Global Awards shortlisted

LONDON: The shortlist for the best multigenerational housing design has been declared.

Over 250 programmes have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.

Orenda authentically represents a community-centered design and supports the health and wellness of a resilient neighborhood. As a seven-story mixed-use development, Orenda achieved Gold certification under LEED Homes Multifamily Midrise. Low-flow water fixtures and the landscape palette minimize the water needed for irrigation. Attention was paid to materials to promote wellness by selecting those that minimize the off gassing of chemicals, using durable, water-resistant products, and ensuring good ventilation.

The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
