Architizer’s Sustainability Categories celebrate projects that contribute to a more sustainable, equitable and resilient built environment. The publication defines a ‘sustainable’ building as one that incorporates sustainable systems, healthy or climate-positive materials, and ethical building practices into its design, construction and maintenance.

This Sustainable Commercial Building Category awards projects that incorporate sustainable systems and materials and follow best practices pertaining to ethical design, construction and operation.

MMoser-HSBC-New-York-Interior-Architecture-Stairway-Design In relocating to The Spiral, HSBC wanted to set an ambitious new standard in workplace experience. It engaged our team to create the most sustainable, inclusive and technology-enabled workplace within its global portfolio.

This project’s sustainability and technology objectives were exceptionally ambitious, challenging both HSBC and our team to push for higher standards. Achieving these goals required the collaboration and dedication of all parties involved to transform this vision into reality.

Our work with HSBC demonstrates how technologies, when paired with sustainability goals, can deliver lasting value for future developments across the company’s portfolio. By integrating advanced, energy-efficient solutions into workplace design, we’ve helped HSBC shape a more resilient and responsible workplace.

Our goal was to achieve net zero carbon construction and operations, centre on efficiency in all areas of design and bring HSBC’s people and planet-centric vision to life within this connected, vertical community.

To leave a lasting legacy means to create a project that sets a benchmark for future innovations, ensuring its relevance and influence endure over time.

HSBC’s New York headquarters sets a new benchmark for sustainable, inclusive workplace design, made possible by M Moser’s integrated and multidisciplinary approach that unites strategy, design, engineering and technology to deliver holistic solutions for people, planet and performance.

Reflecting its commitment to environmental and human impact, the project is tracking toward the following building certifications:

  • Zero Carbon from the International Living Future Institute (ILFI)
  • WELL & LEED Platinum (WELL Building Standard & Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
  • BLUE Standard by Oceanic Global
  • GUDC (Global Universal Design Commission)
  • Being recognised alongside the industry’s best reinforces our commitment to redefining what’s possible in commercial design. It inspires us to keep challenging conventions and creating spaces that shape the future of work.
