OUR ROLE | Living Building Challenge Delivery
Sustainable Coastlines is a multi-award winning, New Zealand charity which has a proud history of successfully designing and executing large scale, environmental projects across New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. At the time we worked with Sustainable Coastlines, they had educated over 222,000 people, motivated more than 102,000 volunteers to remove over 1.5 million litres of rubbish from our coastlines. They had also planted over 163,000 native trees to clean up our waterways.
In 2017 Sustainable Coastlines opened The Flagship Education Centre in Auckland’s developing Wynyard Quarter. This building is currently pursuing certification as a Living Building by the International Living Future Institute. The Challenge defines the most advanced measure of sustainability in the built environment today and acts to rapidly diminish the gap between current limits and the end-game positive solutions we seek. The challenge focuses on seven key areas: Place, Water, Energy, Health and Happiness, Materials, Equity and Beauty and Inspiration. All in all, these requirements lend themselves to creating the world's most sustainable buildings.
