Conscious of the quest to offer a way of life in harmony with nature, HTS holds true to sustainable practices in both its construction and operation. We have chosen to source materials locally and employ technologies that cause the least environmental impact; the wood comes from plantations, the bamboo is treated with beeswax, the garden terraces are designed with native species and aromatic herbs, the vertical garden uses plants to purify, cool and oxygenate the air, we use solar technologies to heat the water and for radiant heating and we have reserved 52% of the site to absorb excess rain fall runoff.
