Sustainable Design

A key component of our practice, acla:works focuses on contextual sustainability for the Caribbean, adopting the principles of people, profit and planet. Sustainability is unique to our socio-economic and climatic belt and we aim to be the leaders in sustainability for the region. We are committed to developing locally responsive and contextually sensitive green building techniques for the triple bottom line benefits of society, economy and the environment.

acla:works is a LEED® credentialed practice and actively participates in the promulgation and education of green building, design, construction and operation.
