Sustainability

As a winner of two Green Mark Platinum Awards, we are committed to sustainability through thoughtful design and environmental initiatives. Our development features strategic orientation, a high-performance glass façade, and sky gardens that reduce heat absorption and maintain thermal comfort. Energy- and water-efficient fittings, along with certified green materials, reinforce our dedication to environmental responsibility.

Microclimatic Canopy

The 280-metre Microclimatic Canopy connects the two towers and four heritage buildings, providing shade while acting as a solar shading device, rainwater collector, wind deflector, and environmental modifier. It channels rainwater for irrigation, saving 26,971m³ of water. The canopy’s design also induces cooling air currents, and CFD software optimises wind velocity for comfort.

Solar System

The solar system at South Beach features 1,650 solar panels installed on the canopy and South Beach Tower roof. Using CFD software, the optimal orientation of the panels was determined to maximise sun exposure. In 2018, the system generated 212,198 kWh, offsetting energy use and powering the façade lighting.

High-Performance Glass Façade

The façades of South Beach’s two main towers minimise direct sunlight from the East and West. Shingled double-glazed glass on the North and South sides creates framed views while reflecting UV rays and reducing glare. The upward-facing surfaces use low shading coefficient glass, while the downward-facing surfaces offer clearer views of the skyline. East-West façades feature sun-shading louvres to block direct sunlight, especially during dawn and dusk, adding both function and aesthetic value.
