Exterior 1
The green commercial remodel of an old cinderblock building into the Hayward Design Center incorporates sustainable design and innovative thinking in every aspect: building function, water and energy conservation, environmentally sensitive materials, and indoor air quality.
Exterior 2
The original asphalt parking lot was replaced with permeable pavers to reduce storm water runoff. Rainwater is collected from the roof and stored in a 6,000 gallon cistern. Bioswales capture storm water, filter out pollutants, and recharge groundwater.
Interior 1
Rapidly renewable cork and bamboo floors, cabinets made of formaldehyde free fiberboard, and zero VOC paints and finishes were some of the green building products used in the showroom.
Entry Desk
The entry desk is made of Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) sustainably harvested lumber. Energy efficient task lighting and operable skylights illuminate interior work spaces.
Showroom
Environmentally friendly products include display cabinets made with Lyptus, a fast growing, plantation grown lumber, and bamboo flooring.
