Built with the strong intention of focusing on sustainable and

Slits in the roof to introduce natural circulation,
alongside insulation panels.
Solar panels affixed in the garden tops near

Exterior walls providing thermal insulation and natural ventilation.
A solar energy system is installed on the rooftops, powering the
structure, while thermal panels and insulating glass are installed
i n t h e e x t e r i o r w a l l s .

The garden surrounding the pavilions, as well
as the inverted pyramid shape of the structure,
is implemented with water catchment areas
that collects rainfall. Due to the prevalent
rains in that region, it saves costs.
The large overhang created by the shape of the
structure creates a large, self-shading
overhang. The columns that support the
overhang are decorated with traditional
characters and symbols, a link to their culture.
