Hello Denisha, hope you are doing well. First, I want to tell you that I really like the relation of volumes and vegetation that you propose in your project. Your jenga like morphology seems appropriate for providing shadows and climate comfort between the volumes. Following, I address some points that you can try to explore in your project:
1. Main Volumes. The shapes and textures you used seem correct for the project. You can try to add a second skin in precise spaces for light and ventilation management. Elements such as louvers can help you bring texture to the light entering the spaces as well as letting you the chance to open curtain wall closed spaces so the climate comfort in your project is reached with passive techniques. Also, these skins can help you provide different accents at night, where the inner lights take the stage to guide your project´s composition.
2. Glass. As a complement of the previous point. Adding the real glass textures and solar control properties you want, can help you add a unique language to your projects facades.
3. Landscape. You can try to continue your cubic shaped morphology in the plaza and landscape design, so the green space in the first level feels as a unity with the entire project.
Your idea has great potential and if you add more unique qualities to your project’s enclosures, you can have a very complete proposal that matches the ecological paradigm requirements. Also, the mixture of textures that you can apply in relation with green spaces, can help maximize the user´s experience in every space of your project. I would like to see more inner spaces as well. I hope my comments can help you in your design. Feel free of contacting me if there´s any doubt.
