USAID
A
sustainable new home for USAID.
The
interior design by Orbit
Design for the US Agency for International
Development (USAID) regional head office (Asia) was awarded with
the
first LEED certification for a corporate office in Thailand and
the first overseas USAID facility that received LEED status. Spread
over three floor at the prestigious Athenee Tower in central Bangkok,
the USAID office also houses the regional
training facilities and
perfectly resembles the core values of USAID in its design as an
organization that cares about the environment
and the human
well-being.
Key
environmentally friendly
factors are the use of recycled materials,
energy efficient lighting and locally made products as well to
utilize the natural
themes, pattern and colors to create warmth and
freshness in the working environment.
The
LEED silver rating has
been earnt through intelligent environmentally
friendly solutions such as specialized lighting and air handling
systems that
keep energy consumption to a minimum. Water usage is
reduced using waterless urinals and sensor controlled taps. Carpeting
and furnishings are
made with recycled materials. Nearly half the
materials used to build and outfit the mission were produced locally,
further
reducing the project’s carbon footprint. Colorwise, all of
the individual three floors were assigned with an unique color theme
that reflects the different
continents of the world, with earth tones
being inspired by the sands of the Sahara desert and blue as a
reflection of the
architectural decorations in the Middle East. This
project truly sets an example for the design industry in Asia and
confirms
Orbit’s dedication to the design
of green office
environments.
