Situated on the site, the wind becomes an advantageous ally, providing natural ventilation opportunities that can be harnessed for optimal indoor air quality. Furthermore, the strategic placement of the site ensures an abundance of sunlight throughout the year, allowing for excellent solar gain, which can be leveraged to enhance energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
Access to the site proves to be a valuable asset, with its central location serving as a nexus for public transportation, residential communities, and commercial establishments. This connectivity enhances the site’s accessibility, creating an environment conducive to interaction, engagement, and the seamless flow of people. With the local context including busy highstreets and transportation access - noise factors will need to be incorporated into the design for indoor comfort inside the space.
