WINGS by Studium Green
WINGS is a new residential development in the Zorilor neighborhood of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The community, which includes 220 units, is ideally located near public transportation, educational institutions for all ages, modern clinics, and shopping. The residents will enjoy the community’s numerous features that will help them connect to the environment, including panoramic views, green spaces, an urban garden, patios, electric car charging stations, and bicycle parking.
The community was designed to conserve natural resources, helping residents save on utilities and live more environmentally friendly lifestyles. LED lighting, reflective paint, insulation of the roof and walls, an energy-efficient boiler, and low-flow plumbing fixtures will be installed to reduce the building’s energy and water usage. The orientation of the building was also considered to maximize natural lighting and optimize thermal comfort.
The developer of the project, Studium Green, is a leader in the real estate market in Transylvania. Since 2012, Studium Green has been committed to building responsibly, pioneering green buildings in the market. According to CEO, Dorin Bob, “We have demonstrated over the past 8 years, since the first certified green residential building we developed in Romania, that it can be built better, more qualitatively, with less environmental impact and lower costs for our end customer on long-term.”
WINGS by Studium Green has received a preliminary EDGE certificate from GBCI.
