Effects & Play of Nature
Green spaces in buildings have an immediate practical application since plants naturally purify the air which can help improve air quality, temperature, humidity and noise levels.
Open cabins with breakout spaces are provided to maintain freeness while also considering privacy. This increases time spent in office, giving comfortability to the occupants.
Relaxing Pods are designed to reduce stress during work. The isolation it provides allows the occupants to be themselves again and reset their mind to be more productive.

brief • 26th August 2018 was an overcast day chosen to quantify the readings. This was done to get the minimum illuminance level for better intervention results throughout the year. • Illuminance was measured with a lux meter at each point of the grid at an interval of 60 minutes starting from 07:30am and ending 04:30pm.
• The lux levels were measured at 1000mm above the floor level. • The images taken at different hours shows a clear difference in internal illuminance of the space throughout the day.

Minimum heat load is experienced in all working spaces such as executive rooms, meetings rooms and workstations because of the placement of service areas on the south west direction
• Light sleeves are provided at each floor on the north and south sides for proper daylighting during the working hours. • This saves upto 60% of the electricity used for electric lighting. • Proper daylight results in better overall health and satisfaction of the occupants.
