The creative energy of Versace is translated into a new sustainable concept. The new LEED Gold certified Bal Harbour boutique designed by Gweanel Nicolas captures the complexity and diversity of the Versace creations with the highest sustainability standards in mind.
A holistic approach has been applied to the selection of materials with the highest environmental and transparency standards. The construction included recycled, recyclable, and responsible materials – including glass in the mosaic, FSC-certified wood in the structure, and recomposed marble in certain decorative elements to minimize extraction of raw materials from the earth – a sustainable commitment in every detail.
Much of the impact of a store is in its daily operations, which at Bal Harbour Shops have been studied with attention to people and environment. From dimmable LED lights with central control installed to ensure efficient use of energy over the course of the day, to climate control equipment chosen for energy efficiency, and a system monitoring energy use and internal air quality added to provide a positive impact for wellbeing on people working and shopping in the space.
