Turns out luxury architecture can be both customizable and environmentally-friendly, according to Zaha Hadid Architects and their new Roatán Próspera Residences project.

A terraced community of living modules, the Próspera complex will be located on the Caribbean island of Roata?n, off the coast of Honduras. Aimed at curating a population that can “prosper socially and ecologically,” the construction will feature up to 15,000 individual, personalized units using engineering techniques that harmonize with the local ecosystem.

“The design prioritizes sustainability and is integral to our vision for Roata?n Pro?spera,” adds CEO of Honduras Pro?spera LLC Erick A. Brimen. “The island of Roata?n is already a renowned tourist destination. Roata?n Pro?spera will strengthen and diversify the local economy while creating homes defined by their natural environment.” The Residences will be erected with timber from certified Honduran forests to keep the construction materials native to the region, while individual units will be configured off-site to reduce the carbon footprint on the island and protect its rich wildlife diversity.
