Venue choice highlights importance of sustainable construction materials in property development 
The award-winning, sustainable Carbis Bay Hotel in Cornwall will host leaders from seven of the largest economies of the world for this year’s G7 Summit from Friday 11^th June – 13^th June 2021.

Situated in Cornwall, which is described as a “powerhouse for green innovation” on the UK Government’s website, the luxury eco-hotel has also been named as the location for several meetings with the ‘Group of Seven’, set to discuss Covid-19 vaccinations, sustainability goals, tackling climate change and promoting future prosperity.

From an on-site Energy Centre, which provides power for the hotel, spa and the variety of room types, to cladding the new beach lodges and ocean venue in Kebony, a global leader in sustainable modified wood, the forward-thinking Carbis Bay Hotel ensures that the commitment to green living runs through all aspects of the coastal resort.

The decision to host the G7 Summit at the hotel underpins the importance of sustainability to this year’s summit, while reinforcing the importance of sustainable construction materials in property development. Architects, The Bazeley Partnership, who were responsible for designing the new luxury beach lodges and suites in 2018, were careful to select innovative construction materials for the project that would contribute positively to the hotel’s environmental footprint. Kebony wood was chosen to clad the exterior, due in part to its global reputation as a leading producer of sustainable wood, and its unique aesthetic which sees the wood delicately weather and blend into the unique beauty of the surrounding area.
