At aeaj green terrace, the design story is rooted in the commitment to sustainability and eco-friendliness. The design emphasizes the use of natural materials such as wood, chosen not only for its visual appeal but also for its numerous environmental benefits. As a renewable resource, the material contributes to reducing carbon emissions associated with construction. Furthermore, it boasts thermal properties, and offers natural insulation that helps regulate indoor temperatures and decreases energy consumption over the building’s lifecycle.

For aeaj green terrace, kengo kuma & associates have planned every aspect of the project to ensure it provides a serene and comfortable living space. The building incorporates large windows and open layouts to maximize natural light and ventilation, decreasing reliance on artificial lighting and mechanical climate control. The integration of terraces and gardens as natural extensions of the living areas enhances indoor-outdoor connection, offering residents tranquil retreats within the bustling urban environment.

With wood, aeaj green terrace offers both environmental and aesthetic advantages. Wood naturally stores carbon dioxide and reduces the building's overall carbon footprint. its natural insulation properties help regulate indoor temperatures and humidity, reducing energy consumption and operational costs. And when treated for durability, wood enhances building resilience and longevity with minimal maintenance.

Aesthetically, the material adds warmth and texture, blending harmoniously with natural surroundings. Its use in aeaj green terrace pays homage to sustainability, creating spaces that are environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and visually appealing.

Upon completion, the building not only demonstrates respect for the environment but also significantly enhances the quality of life for its occupants. As kengo kuma's approach not only promotes ecological balance but also establishes a benchmark for future urban developments, aeaj green terrace sets a standard for creating harmonious living environments that are environmentally friendly, visually appealing, and conducive to human well-being.
