Yay, our efforts have been rewarded! The Stafa Tower, home to Ruby Marie, has been honoured with the LEED platinum certification for the buildings’ sustainability. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certificate is awarded to outstanding buildings that meet the criteria for sustainable construction and operation. Many details play a role when an energy efficient and environmentally friendly building is planned.

The green building movement – a movement that has developed over the past years, where construction is more then just building a house and where many mechanisms come together that enhance sustainability in long run. Through clever design, detailed construction and efficient maintenance a building becomes a sustainable whole. Also, a buildings’ ecological footprint is determined through many criteria of construction and usage.

How does the Stafa Tower fulfill these criteria? A site in the heart of the city enables fast and easy transport around town through shorter distances, water-saving fixtures reduce water consumption, and materials and resources are carefully selected according to transportation routes and usage. Even the history of the Stafa Tower plays a role – the former warehouse style is reintegrated into the design of Ruby Marie, making history alive again.

Goji berries, chia seeds and moringa algae – you have probably seen one of these superfoods in your breakfast muesli or green smoothie before. No wonder, superfoods are the secret energy and high dose vitamin providers that have become a contemporary trend.

Only a couple of years ago superfoods were a typical vegan phenomenon and were associated with health fanatics. However, this prejudice has been overcome and superfoods have made their way onto many kitchen shelves.

Some say that the new exotic berries and seeds are the superfood must-have, while others claim that regional products, such as linseeds and blueberries, are as good. But, maybe it is more a balanced diet that will boost your health and superfoods are a varied add-on for a nutritious diet.

Whether superfoods or not – isn’t a healthy diet still the best way to stay fit? And the most important meal to start your day right is a balanced breakfast that will give your body the energy it needs.

Try the breakfast in our Ruby Hotels – a guaranteed fresh and healthy breakfast where you might find one or the other superfood.

Enjoy!
