DESIGN DESCRIPTION
In a small plot of 10x25m (107 by 269 sq ft) where regulations only allowed building within the first 15m (161 sq ft) lengthwise, the NUR House is conceived as a monolithic, perforated structure through which light penetrates. Various geometric strategies allow a range of natural lighting types created from a daylight analysis study. In the end, there is a tradeoff between glare control and views.
The spatial quality is enriched by the variety of atmospheres created by the proportions of the diverse windows.
The building is scheduled to meet the “Architecture 2030” energy challenge for new buildings. Using various analytical tools, we have developed a high-performance-based building design method that will allow our clients to make informed decisions about their projects’ operability, cost, and maintenance.
