The design of this nature-inspired project minimizes energy use and heat gain through passive strategies and the right material choices.
Vinod Singhi & Ranju Singhi
This mixed-use complex combines a modern warehouse and an office. Following the principles of Nature-Integrated Design, the complex uses several climate-responsive and resource-efficient strategies. Aluminum louvers and green walls reduce heat gain. Motorized louvers allow users to control indoor temperatures easily. Triple-glazed windows and durable, heat-reflective paint further improve insulation.
The building facade is painted in a vivid terracotta color, offering an earthy version of the Fybros brand’s signature red. Green walls add to this “living” facade, celebrating the earth’s life-giving nature. Inside, desks are lined with lush plants, and natural materials like wood and stone bring warmth and a strong connection to nature.
Energy-efficient LED lighting lowers power consumption. Double-insulated glass, polystyrene roof insulation, and heat-reflective paint help keep interiors cooler, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling.
Low-VOC finishes throughout the building, along with natural ventilation in the warehouses, keep the indoor air quality within healthy limits, even during city-wide pollution spikes. Large curtain walls and high windows bring in natural light and offer wide views of the outdoors. Skylights flood the interiors with daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting.
