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.
