Sustainable Design.
As hospitality designers dedicated to creating spaces of respite and rejuvenation, guest well-being and comfort are important to how we design. We actively promote biophilia and connection to nature, wellness design and energy efficiency/building performance within our standard design processes.

With a full library of environmentally friendly "green label" products, we are able to specify materials that fully comply with our clients' sustainable objectives. What does HBG Design do with unused design materials?

We are committed to educating our teams, our clients and the hospitality industry on the benefits of sustainability.
