The Administration Building Phase 6


Section is all up and running now, these section show how the building will cross ventilate passively, allow solar gain in a controlled manner. Light exposure on the right orientation is very crucial... Gabion wall was designed to provide a better thermal mass property.
The load bearing columns will be the reused columns whereas the gabion wall only act as a skin to the building. I know that gabion are not weather tight...therefore i'll do a detail on how to weather prove the building envelope later on...
All in all, im trying to achieve building that contribute to sustainability in a passive manner rather than manually. So i am more focus on lightgain and heating and cross ventilating the building...
