The hospitality industry is increasingly embracing sustainable design solutions, as customers and businesses alike recognize the importance of reducing environmental impact. At Bosman & Van Citters, we have extensive experience designing and refurbishing commercial spaces for restaurants, cafés, and dining establishments, focusing on eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient solutions.
Take our recent work for a dining establishment in Rotterdam as an example. We designed a space that incorporated reclaimed wood for furniture and biodegradable materials for upholstery while implementing energy-saving LED lighting and sustainable heating solutions. These choices didn’t just boost the restaurant's green credentials but also created a warm, inviting atmosphere that resonated with environmentally conscious diners.
Additionally, integrating indoor plants and maximizing natural light has been a hallmark of our recent hospitality designs, leading to both aesthetic improvements and operational energy savings. According to the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (2023), restaurants that adopt energy-efficient lighting and sustainable materials can see an average reduction of up to 30% in energy consumption and operational costs within the first year.
