Design Principles

  • Using waterfall for energy
  • Grouping of spaces under one building
  • One space building that is open to the building
  • Well ventilated with air circulation in mind (elevated off the ground and on a slope)
  • Research on how much water is used by 5 people
  • Research on average rainfall
  • Design with open external spaces for ventilation and water catchment
  • Research on materials used e.g. mud brick and light weight material which is locally available
  • Tradition and history of architecture of the site
