Screen Façade For Indirect
Openings

• Use of wooden jalis and glass helps to
create screen facades which allow us to
retain visibility as well as control daylight
and ventilation inside the building.

• It also helped reducing building weight and
overall material used.

• The porosity achieved has further been
refined by placing critically designed
openings.

• Jali further protects the space from heat
outside and also filters diffused light inside
which naturally lights up the space without
heating it. Screen Facade
Insulation – Buffer Spaces

• The porosity achieved has further been
refined by placing critically designed
openings; green courtyards etc. that
facilitate air movement throughout the
building.

• The entrance atrium acts as an air shaft,
expelling hot air outside and inducing draft,
and as visual connector for all levels.

• The other spaces have been protected by
respective buffer areas such as toilets,
foyer space, courtyard at the corner of the
hospital.
• As a result, the heat gain during the day
is minimal. Whatever little is the gain, is
eventually out vented through the courtyard.
