Sustainable architecture is at the epicentre of our practice. Through simulations and creating real time feedback loops, we look at optimizing primarily the form of the building deal with parameters relating to eco-friendly architecture. The second stage is careful selection of materials and specifications. The intent of our practice is to create performance as a design driver, to achieve Sustainable and Smart buildings. Eco-friendly and sustainable structures is a must in today’s world. We believe we owe it to our environment to contribute as much as we can and build meaningful buildings. In terms of eco-friendly buildings, we have not encountered any challenges as such.

Punjab Kesari Headquarters as sustainability is at the epicentre of the project embedded in the form of optimized natural lighting, cross ventilation, and reduction of heat gain. The jali screen reduces the outside air temperature in front of the glass. The colder air is going in and pulled into the atrium through the chimney effect of the atrium space, resulting in natural ventilation and reducing the indoor air temperature naturally, so the cooling load for the air conditioning is reduced.

Punjab Kesari Headquarters is designed as a Fusion of traditional Indian architecture and contemporary office space. The main objective is to reduce heat gain and optimize façade opening ratio, ensuring no artificial lighting is required on a typical day. An animated façade is designed as an outcome of different façade opening ratio depending on the orientation.
