BUILDING’S BACKGROUND
Shalini Ganendra Fine Art Gallery is located in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. SGFA is an attractive site to study on when it comes to designing a sustainable building that matches the country’s weather as it has received numerous green building design awards. Despite the size of the site, the building design works and matches well with the environment, creating a harmonious and comfortable for people to reside in by applying some principles without abandoning the modern touch to make the site more aesthetically pleasing. SGFA’s holistic approach to art representation and expertise in the contemporary art of Asian emerging regions has established the organisation’s distinctive presence as a placemaker, advisor and culture pioneer. SGFA works regularly with established artists connected to South East Asia.
ADDRESS: No. 8 Lorong 16/7B Section 16, Petaling Jaya. 3
GALLERY RESIDENCE Gallery Residence is a tangible symbol of SGFA’s commitment to design and applauds innovation and creativity of internationally renowned local talents. The space itself is an ideal backdrop for showcasing SGFA’s range of art and design exhibitions – providing a contemporary arena for contemporary art. This inspiring building is at the forefront of modern architectural style, boasting effective design for green living. The side façade is mostly covered by concrete walls with windows and glass sliding door. Majority of the daylight enters the area through the glass sliding door. The gallery is located next to the highway which has affected the gallery in terms of acoustic values. But the noise can be buffered from the highway since most of the façade is surrounded by concrete wall.

SITE CONTEXT SUN, WIND AND ORIENTATION
There are less windows on the west to take maximum use of the sunlight during daytime for natural lighting as the sun moves from east to west, making the building using less energy for lighting before the sun sets.
The wind flows from north (high pressure zone) to south (low pressure zone), mostly going to the northern suction of the wind chimney to later be flowed inside the interior space.
ENTRANCE
The sun rises and sets from east to west, giving the greens at the courtyard on the east of the building to regenerate sunlight for photosynthesis, thus making more oxygen and giving more thermally comfortable environment.
SITE PLAN
When the sun is at its highest point, the sunshades work perfectly to block the incoming radiation, thus preventing glares. 6

The small glass windows on the west opened to a certain angle to allow slightly natural lightings to penetrate in.

The wind chimney provides ventilation into the room but noise is also generated. High windows and wind chimney

Large openings
Despite the amount of windows in the east, they are mere openings; only with the frames without glasses that allow more natural lights to enter the space.

Wind chimney
The main feature in the design which is wind chimney; works to catch wind and circulation them at the indoor space. But this also generates internal noise source.
