visible while moving through the office
and the work areas, skirting the external North entrance view
periphery opening towards external
gardens.
The building shape generates its longest
sides oriented towards the north, with
angled louvres on the other faces directing
the internal spaces northwards. The
orientation allows indirect light throughout
the day into all of the internal spaces,
rendering the building energy efficient.
The courtyard office derives its
principles from traditional Indian
courtyard houses, resulting in office spaces
that vary in volume and in orientation,
allowing open spaces to be integrated
with enclosed ones, and creating energy-
efficient workspaces. dw
