How Florin Parkside takes on a sustainable design
Perth locals, Stirling Capital, have long had a desire to produce sustainable and environmentally conscious projects.
The group, led by Managing Director, Luke Reinecke, incorporates designs with embedded networks that use smart metres, renewable energy sources such as solar panels, and measures to optimise energy savings for residents of every project.
“Sustainability is integral to every brief we provide to our architects – from water and energy efficiency to materials selection and other initiatives, we consider sustainability throughout every stage of every project to ensure optimum environmental performance from the ground up.”
Stirling’s Jolimont project, Florin, follows suit with the group’s sustainable ambitions, with the Parkside residences achieving a 5 Star Green Star rating.
Launched by Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) in 2003, Green Star is Australia’s largest voluntary and truly holistic sustainability rating system for buildings, fit-outs and communities.
Green Star aims to reduce the impact of climate change by promoting developments and communities that support a more sustainable way of life, with all projects displaying a Green Star Certification Trademark passing through an independent assessment process.
With a 5 Star Green Star rating, Florin represents Australian Excellence in sustainability, with features such as ceiling fans, energy-efficient lighting and appliances, a highly efficient heat pump water system, and 40kW solar helping the project reach the mark.
All common areas are also serviced by 100 per cent renewable energy, while extensive landscaping ensures the living spaces are directly connected to nature, blending seamlessly with the neighbouring park.
These benefits also help to keep living costs down for residents.
The $37 million project will deliver 63 residences to the Jolimont area, with the family-sized apartments offering sweeping views to the neighbouring park and CBD skyline.
One, two three and four-bedroom apartments are still remaining in the project, with completion slated for the back-end of 2023.
