Innovative Terrace Building Design

The document describes the design of building facades and courtyards. It discusses how each facade is designed differently in response to solar orientation and views. Facades facing east and west have smaller, shaded windows to reduce heat gain from the morning and afternoon sun. Windows on the west facade are shaded by prism-shaped protrusions. Courtyards are designed to draw hot air up and allow daylight while features like fountains and plantings help moderate temperatures. Roofs and balconies incorporate shading to reduce heat absorption.

FENESTRATIONS
1. THE DESIGN OF EACH FACADE IS DIFFERENT, ESPECIALLY THE
FENESTRATION, IN RESPONSE TO
SOLAR ORIENTATION AND VIEW.
2. THOSE FACING EAST AND WEST, WHICH TAKE THE BRUNT OF
THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON
SUN, ARE KEPT SMALL AND SHADED BY SUNSCREENS OR BY THE
BUILDING VOLUME ITSELF.
3. THE WINDOWS IN THE WEST FACADE ARE BLINKERED WITH
PRISM-SHAPED PROTRUSIONS
THAT BLOCKS THE AFTERNOON SUMMER SUN WHILE
PERMITTING VIEWS OF THE FOREST.
4. WINDOWS ARE SHADED DURING WARM SEASONS.
5. VINES CLIMB THE PERGOLAS AND EAST AND WEST WALLS TO
REDUCE HEAT GAIN.

INSULATION
COURTYARD
PLANNING
1. CENTRAL COURTYARD TAKES
THE HOT AIR FROM THE
SURROUNDING AREAS AND GIVES
IT VERTICAL COLUMN
TO RISE.(SHAFT EFFECT)
2. ALLOWS DAYLIGHT TO ENTER IN
THE BUILDING.
3. THE THREE-STORY TRICKLE
FOUNTAIN IN THE COURTYARD
MODERATES THE AIR
TEMPERATURE AND DOES NOT
ALLOW EXCESS HEAT GAIN.

VINES TRAINED ON MANY FACADES SHADE THE SHADING GRILLS WITH PLANTERS PLANTERS ON THE FACADE OF THE
