KieranTimberlake has been awarded the winning sustainable design for the U.S. Embassy in London, England. The 100% carbon neutral design implements a building-within-a-park landscape design with an ethelene-tetrofleuroethelene scrim to absorb thermal radiation while admitting daylight into the building. Though the building resides in England, the species will be American-native such as cypress. The entire roof surface is photovoltaic. This mean machine PRODUCES energy!
Now That’s a Carbon Neutral Embassy Design!
