Ombu

A regenerative design that achieves LEED and WELL Platinum.

HoMU NEXT was instructed by Acciona to develop the sustainability strategy for the project, in respect of the historic value and reuse of existing building materials. Acting as LEED Accredited Professional (AP) and WELL AP on the project, supported the project in the achievement of the maximum levels of WELL Platinum and LEED Platinum.

Ombú delivers new office space and a unique mix of private and public land with green landscaping that extends to the adjoining Méndez Álvaro station. The landscape hosts 300 new trees that contributes to creating a mindful space for recreation and work. Access to green spaces and public transport are two of the key elements to support users’ comfort and wellbeing, in line with LEED and WELL.
Ombú´s circular economy strategy focuses on the reuse of the existing materials, such as the brick façade and the choice of the most sustainable building materials that contribute to lower embodied carbon compared to a traditional new building.
The use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) offers a fully reusable and removable solution, thus reducing waste over the life of the building.
