The first phase of the Le Jardin eco-friendly residential real estate development, LIVING's most environmentally conscious investment to date, has reached its highest point. In the first phase of construction of the AA+ energy-rated residential building, 165 apartments have been built, each of which has better-than-average technical aspects and economical operation at low overhead costs. Le Jardin offers options from sunny, practical studio apartments with efficient floor plans to generous, five-room penthouse apartments.
“Le jardin” is French for garden: fittingly, the residential park is situated in a quiet, idyllic environment, surrounded by gardens on all sides.
Construction on the project is progressing on schedule. Heat pumps will provide heating and hot water in the building, a modern ceiling heating system has been developed and the walls of the building are covered with special insulation, which is 15cm thick in most places. The buildings have a north-south axis, so the facades face east and west, which supports solar heat gain and which will lead to lower annual heating costs for residents. Plants have been planted on ground-floor and first-floor gardens, helping create a microclimate that makes the environment friendlier, reduces noise pollution, cools the spaces in and around the and improves air quality.
