Reflected Natural Light from the North Faces, illuminate interior spaces without heat gain- Design Atelier




Shallow water pools in the landscape used to cool breezes passing through the pilotis gardens at ground while being visible from the entry receptions and the journey paths, a reminder of what is important in life and environment- Design Atelier

Solar facades located on Western and South and East faces reduce heat gain and bring in deep penetrating light through pibbon windows set high on the facade- Design Atelier

Good natural light penetration using internal light wells that harness sunlight make for a great solution to eliminate the use of electrical light sources in office spaces in the day.
