PLANNING

The structure details in this section showcase the impressive use of timber columns. Each column is made up of several individual pieces of wood that are stacked together to create a single, sturdy column.

The roof details are also noteworthy, featuring a combination of sloping and flat surfaces that give the building a distinctive look. The sloping roof sections are designed to efficiently channel rainwater away from the structure, while the flat sections provide additional outdoor space for relaxation and recreation.

the column is kept 200 mm above ground to reduce the risk of moisture damage and to protect it from potential damage caused by pests and insects, such as termites.

3-D Views

The building is facing northeast, which allows it to take advantage of the morning sun while avoiding the harsh rays of the afternoon sun. To further reduce the amount of heat gained from the south, the building is blocked from that direction.

The building features a gallery entrance which not only serves as an entrance but also acts as a cooling place between the two halves of the building. This allows for natural ventilation to occur, promoting a more comfortable indoor environment. The gallery also provides a visual connection between the two halves of the building, enhancing the sense of flow and unity throughout the space.

These design features demonstrate a thoughtful and sustainable approach to architecture, prioritizing the comfort and well-being of the building’s occupants while minimizing its environmental impact.

The design project incorporates various sustainable features such as the use of natural light, renewable energy sources, and greenery to reduce the carbon footprint of the building. Additionally, the flexible workspace offers a variety of spaces to accommodate different working styles and sizes, promoting collaboration and creativity.
