Design Considerations

• Spatial planning is done considering the circulation pattern of Ground Floor Plan
residents & visitors
• Open planning enables a gradual transition from semi private to
private spaces
• Courtyards and skylights accentuate the interior space quality
and ensure natural light and ventilation
• Verandahs and patios form semi open living spaces and act as
buffer against extreme climate.
• The variation in height in the interior spaces facilitates natural
ventilation.
