The semi-transparent perimeter “shield” of designed bronze mesh application flows around the building. protecting the inner glass walls to reduce the heat in order to improve building’s energy efficiency. The exterior mesh walls carry incise patterns permitting controlled daylight to diffuse into the central space.

Elevation Facade Details:

The facade texture is to change in every direction with the orientation of the building and depending on its relation with the exterior and preserve the harmony with the adjacent grove. The texture is visually an extension of the tree branches as a complementary of the woodland.

The design criteria provide natural ventilation. The HVAC systems were designed to optimize energy performance of the building.

Landscaping details:

Water efficient landscaping, innovative waste water technologies and water use reduction are part of the project’s design criteria. For the outdoor landscape local plants which require minimum irrigation are preferred, basically easy to maintain perennial vegetation to be adapted to the macro climate of the region in time.

Hard landscape is avoided to minimize the heat island effect and protect the original earth, so the natural water sources (rain etc) expected to nurture the landscape. Water Conserving Sanitary ware Technology products such as water saving taps, low water content toilets and waterless urinals preferred.
