In responding to these needs we have created a setting that is an urban embodiment of the triple bottom line approach that is at the heart of the client’s business practice.

The Masterplan has been oriented on a strict East-West axis which limits the influence of the sun in generating temperature gains inside the building. This reduce cooling demands, as the east and west facades which experience the lowest sun angles are also the shortest facades.

The Masterplan maximizes opportunities to utilize natural ventilation. By aligning the buildings with the prevailing winds, it becomes possible to improve thermal comfort in the interstitial spaces between the building blocks within the ‘social bridge’ that link the buildings together.
