ECO-CONSCIOUS ARCHITECTURE- PRESERVING EXISTING TREES

The first step to sensitive site planning was to map all existing trees and ensure they were preserved. These existing trees
were protected by means of barricades during construction to ensure minimal disturbance and the building’s plan and foundation
was designed not to interfere with the root zones of the existing trees. The trees form a lovely foreground for the building and
ensure shade.
