This project is a self-sustain building that helps to improve the green strategy of this place as they lack in the green development. The urban style language will suit adapting the design to generate their identity and works as the landmarks as well. The site condition of surrounding buildings with a low rise building typology and it is not in the middle of the high-density zone such as a big city. The diagram below explains the sectional environmental aspect that integrates into this design. The key challenge of this project retaining flexibility while ensuring natural ventilation works for all seasons.
The usage of light construction and ready made steel construction is encouraged for this project. The cantilever amount to achieve which inherently demands stronger, heavier, structure. By following 3x3 meter column’s gap and parallel grid lines placement, the building itself is more durable to hold the load. To make the flow is more organize, the proper cores are placed in the middle and it holds the column from getting twisted as well. To have the spaces all surrounding the internal atrium, the secondary grid is introduced to hold the cantilevered flooring stronger.
