As an AI language model, I am not capable of personal opinions but here are some ways to use architecture to create a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly hospitality property:
1. Passive design – Incorporating passive architectural design features such as natural ventilation and lighting to reduce electricity usage, shading to reduce heat gain, and rainwater harvesting systems to reduce water consumption.
2. Efficient use of space – Designing space-efficient guest rooms and common areas to reduce the overall footprint of the property.
3. Use of sustainable materials – Ensuring the use of sustainable materials in construction and designing, such as recycled or locally sourced materials.
4. Renewable energy sources – Incorporating renewable energy sources such as solar PV panels or wind turbines into the property’s energy mix.
5. Smart energy management systems – Utilizing smart energy management systems to monitor and optimize electricity and water usage.
6. Green roofs and walls – Incorporating plants into the building’s facade and roof to improve air quality, reduce stormwater runoff, and provide natural insulation.
7. Recycling and waste management – Incorporating recycling facilities and designing efficient waste management systems to minimize the amount of waste generated by the property.
By incorporating these architectural features, hospitality properties can become more environmentally sustainable, reduce operating costs, and promote a healthier and more eco-friendly atmosphere for guests.
