Nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka's southern coast, Colive.me Ahangama goes beyond aesthetics and functionality by integrating sustainable practices throughout its design. Just as a product designer considers the life cycle of an iPhone, DXMID has focused on the life cycle assessment of this building, ensuring minimal impact on the environment and the ability to recycle at least 98% of its components.

Key sustainability features include:

🌿 A green wall that promotes natural cooling and reduces energy consumption

💨 Smart design that maximizes natural ventilation and light, reducing the need for artificial cooling and lighting

☀️ Solar panels that generate clean energy to power the building

♻️ A comprehensive waste management system, recycling all waste produced by the community

🛠 Innovative design that allows the building to be dismantled, relocated, or recycled with minimal environmental impact

Colive.me Ahangama is not just a living space; it's a testament to our dedication to creating eco-conscious designs that inspire connection, creativity, and responsible living.
