SUSTAINABLE DESIGN - Strategies are employed for natural lighting and sun protection long proven in the climate of Tunis, including light wells projecting from the sides of the building. The use of local stone and tile pay homage to popular Tunisian colors and styles, and support sustainable design criteria that call for the use of locally produced materials. Self-sustaining, native North African plants are used, including olive groves to take advantage of water retention ponds, a system of irrigation designed to manage site water collection.
