Minimizing the environmental footprint of our work is as integral to each project as the building’s structure and enclosure. Rafael Viñoly Architects works closely with engineers and sustainability experts to establish sustainability goals and design criteria. Our firm has successfully navigated various international sustainable certification systems – including LEED, BREEAM, and Estidama – to achieve highly sustainable projects around the world.
