moisture sensors and drip irrigation , the irrigation system demand was also reduced by at least 50 %. Most of the buildings in the Menlyn Maine precinct only use cold water in their ablution facilities , which shows that some consideration as to how people use buildings can go along way to both material ( additional geyers or hot water systems , pipes , valves , heat pumps , and long term maintenance of these systems ) and electrical cost . This kind of human centered design thinking is what can have major implication for how we design and build more sustainably in the future .
The building was delivered as shell and core , with the tenant fit-outs to be executed on a different contract as integrated fit-outs . This ensures less construction waste throughout the building ’ s life span than a typical generic office fit-out .
Paints have low VOC which contribute to healthier indoor environments for building users . The open and attractive staircase in the building atrium reminds building occupants of the option to take the stairs instead of the lifts and entices them to do so more often also contributing to occupant wellbeing .
Conclusion Park Lane West is a striking addition to the Menlyn Maine precinct , affording firms working there access to the many facilities , retail and restaurant options on their doorstep .
