One of the world’s first environmentally-conscious luxury hotels, Hotel Rafayel has set out to prove once again that hotels can embrace cutting-edge green technologies and minimize their environmental impact without comprising on 5-star luxury, quality or comfort. Incorporating the latest technological advances in LED lighting and other systems has enabled the hotel to reduce the 70kg carbon footprint of the average London hotel guest by over 20% so far. Through its policy of continual improvement, Hotel Rafayel now hopes to reduce this Carbon footprint even further by growing and transporting much of its own food in a sustainable way
One-world design are appointed as architects on the exciting projects and have prepared the planning application for an aquaponics focused small holding based on self-contained symbiotic eco-system to provide 25kg/day carbon neutral food. The farm contains a large temperature controlled biome with a revolutionary aquaponics system, growing a large amount of fish, fruit and vegetables in a small space, without the need for pesticides or other additives. The waste from the fish fertilises the plants, which clean and recycle the water. This system uses a fraction of the amount of water of traditional agriculture.
The farm will include bee hives and chickens and will supply the Hotel with up to 80% of its daily requirements, with prime beef and other meats being sourced elsewhere. The building incorporates a plethora of sustainability measures including solar PVs and ground source heat pumps to keep the ETFE roofed biome at a constant temperature. The electricity generated will also power the vehicles used on the farm and the delivery vehicle that will deliver the food to the Hotel.
