Non inclusion of attic space, where dust and heat are trapped allowing for inefficient disposal of heat. This also contributes to the character of the space where the feeling was to convey a suspended tent like ceiling of timber.

Solid concrete floors to encourage heat preservation through thermal mass.

Orientated to North to maximise solar principles

Deep eaves calculated to cantilever to allow winter sun gain and reject summer sun harshness.

Central courtyard design to maximise chimney effect and encourage natural air flow through building.

Multiple mechanical windows selectively placed on the outer edges of the design to have control over cooling and heating of the design
