The work plates stagger outwards towards the North glazed face, resulting in a long triple height atrium. The building is covered in a vaulted roof, which incorporates North facing sky lights, which pour light into the atrium. The building has an exceptional glare free light that percolates into a substantial portion of the office space and hence artificial light is kept to a minimum along the central strip of the floor plate. This quality of light combined with reduced heat results in substantially lesser power consumption.

 

A catchment reservoir / mini lake was designed in the low lying area of the site. The harvested rain water was used in the water cooled system and for irrigation as well. Its perimeter was designed with informal sit-outs, green pockets and

formed a vital landscape element with work areas overlooking the space.
