Designing with the sun

Designing with the sun

Orientation is the first architectural decision, and often the most decisive for thermal comfort. A main façade facing south captures the low winter sun while remaining easy to shade from the high summer sun.

Strategic glazing, combined with roof overhangs or sun-breakers, acts like a natural thermostat: it lets heat in when wanted and keeps it out when it becomes uncomfortable.

On our recent projects, this single decision meaningfully reduces reliance on air conditioning, before insulation or materials even enter the conversation.
