ECOLOGICAL DESIGN PRINCIPLES
The continuous landscaped ramp functions as an ecological green lung to the building that enhances the quality of the office and public spaces. At the same time, the internal atrium space operates as a passive (naturally ventilated) space with the ability to switch to a mixed-mode when required. The cascading water feature acts as a cooling agent for the unenclosed spaces through passive evaporation.
