The building Design is a direct response to the site conditions and its harsh climatic conditions.

A louvered membrane is wrapped around the buildings to create an envelope which acts as a solar shading device, while still allowing light diffusion into the interior space. 

The building double skin regulates the flow of heat into the building, it acts like a traditional Mushraba allowing light through from outside, views from inside to outside but blocking heat gain.

 The orientation of the walls to minimize the exposure to solar radiation and maximize north-facing walls.  Solar cells placed on roofs and integrated into the facades complement the overall design solution.
