This modern two-story residence is designed with a focus on natural ventilation and daylighting. The building features large windows, open balconies, and a central atrium, all strategically placed to maximize airflow and natural light throughout the interior spaces.
Features
Key Technical Details
Cross Ventilation: The placement of windows and balcony doors on opposite sides of rooms allows for effective cross ventilation, keeping the indoor environment cool and reducing reliance on mechanical cooling systems.
Central Atrium: The central open space acts as a light well, bringing daylight deep into the core of the house and enhancing indoor air quality.
Extended Roof Overhangs: The sloped tiled roofs with extended overhangs provide shade, minimizing direct solar heat gain while allowing diffused light to enter.
Louvered Windows and Railings: Adjustable louvers and open railings on balconies further enhance airflow and provide flexibility in controlling light and privacy.
Elevated Plinth: The building is constructed on an elevated plinth, protecting it from surface water runoff and improving structural durability.
This approach ensures a comfortable, energy-efficient living environment while maintaining a modern architectural aesthetic.
