Urban Space

sustainable buildings

Passive Design

Inner skin simplified due to 100% shading from outer skin (during warmest 8 months)

Transitional Space (ex. balcony)

Outer skin provides shading and higher performance glass (where applicable)

Daylight and shading optimized with dynamic facade

Conditioned zone shaded by transitional space Ambient

Natural ventilation allowed during appropriate conditions

Hotel Balcony as a Transitional Space
