The LEED certification raises the home’s value by 25%, making it economically viable for families.
The home’s structure is made from 98% upcycled corten steel (shipping containers), significantly lowering its carbon footprint.
Natural ventilation, solar energy storage, and a biogarden septic system further reduce environmental impact.
It has an Energy Star Rating of 13—significantly better than the average score of 40.
It includes WaterSense-certified plumbing fixtures to assist with drought management.
Award-winning innovation — Casa Mar Azul
Casa Mar Azul won the prestigious 2024 USGBC Local Market Leadership Award - Rise to the Challenge Award. Casa Mar Azul is a luxury, single-family home built using shipping containers, featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, and various gathering spaces such as a living room, outdoor dining areas, a plunge pool, and a roof deck with a solar panel pergola.

We are proud to achieve LEED Platinum certification in 2022 for Casa Mar Azul. By using sustainable building principles, we completed this beautiful home with a 60-80% lower carbon footprint than typical construction. Our project highlights innovation in green construction, and we invite you to join the USGBC’s public directory for broader recognition.

Real estate development

At KONTi Design | Build Studio, we lead the development, design, and construction of sustainable mixed-use and commercial properties with a focus on environmental preservation, architectural innovation, and long-term value. We are actively seeking like-minded investors and partners to bring new resilient developments to life across Puerto Rico.

A standout example of our approach is Elefante—Puerto Rico’s first fully self-sustainable hotel, designed and developed by KONTi. It represents a bold vision for the future of hospitality: modular, off-grid, and deeply connected to its natural context. If you're interested in investing in purpose-driven development that merges profit with impact, we’d love to connect.

This 10-bedroom eco-lodge combines sustainability, resiliency, and comfort, offering guests immersive nature experiences, farm-to-table dining, and local activities. Built from renewable materials, it features energy-efficient designs, solar power, rainwater harvesting, and eco-friendly waste management. And it’s built entirely off-grid, making it a stable, self-sustaining space in the midst of any crisis.

Did you know the construction industry is responsible for 40% of global carbon emissions, making it a major driver of climate change? That’s why KONTi is rethinking how we build—prioritizing sustainability, resilience, and long-term impact.

We lead with LEED

Casa Mar Azul, designed by KONTi Design for Ganadores IBR in Isabela, Puerto Rico, is the first single-family home in the Caribbean to achieve LEED Platinum certification in 2022. It also won the prestigious 2024 USGBC Local Market Leadership Award - Rise to the Challenge Award.

The LEED Platinum certification not only reflects the space's environmental benefits but also adds financial value by increasing the home’s resale potential by 25% and reducing long-term utility costs.

At Konti Design Build Studio, we plan, design, and build every space following LEED parameters. If you want to get your space LEED certified to increase its value and highlight its eco-friendliness, we can make it happen.
