Lighting & Ventilation

• Open floor planning ensures maximum natural ventilation
throughout the house.
• Minimum use of walls reduces heat gain by a considerable
amount.
• Play of levels in interiors by provision of courtyards aids
in ventilation.
• Partition walls provide visual segregation of spaces while
still permitting free flow of air.

• Courtyards aiding natural ventilation through stack effect
& lighting through skylights & fenestrations.
