CSG Provides Building Expertise in Constructing Cayman Islands' first LEED Sustainable Community
Cayman Structural Group is once again Making History
In addition to constructing breathtaking and awe-inspiring homes, the diligent builder is now doing its part in constructing the Cayman Islands first LEED sustainable community: Periwinkle. At its core, LEED is a “green” building rating system and principles that showcase and emphasize the importance of sustainable architecture. Unfortunately, when most people think of “going green” they envision dim, drab unitarian buildings that don’t offer creative comfort and poise. That’s simply untrue. As you can tell with the up and coming Periwinkle community, sustainable development is a merger of sophistication and advanced engineering.
Periwinkle is a revolutionary approach to community living. Developers have sought the convergence of sandy white beaches and spectacular ocean harbor views with sensibility in engineering that provides minimal disturbance to the natural environment. By utilizing LEED building practices, Cayman Structural Group has mitigated encroachments upon the pristine beaches and water in constructing a sustainable community that doesn’t pollute or displace natural fauna. It’s the perfect harmony between man and nature. Once completed, Periwinkle will offer tenants low energy bills as each home comes with its own solar array. The LEED for Homes program also creates a cleaner environment for inhabitants and guests.
Cayman Islands' first LEED Sustainable Community Showcases Our Versatility in Construction
Is there anything our skilled contractors and engineers can’t build? From our enormous concrete pours and columns that protect island homes from killer hurricanes to award winning energy efficient homes, our builders have the tools and know-how to design almost any creation.
Designing luxury vacation islands in the heart of the Caribbean is no small task. There are various environmental and infrastructural factors that must be taken into consideration. First, we have to examine the unique sandy topsoil of the islands and what must be included in building a sound and sturdy foundation. We also must consider the islands’ position in this prominent hurricane corridor. As a result, each luxury home and business is built with thick concrete walls and floors to protect from killer storms.
