Rain Courtyard Workspace

An office built around a rain courtyard that cools the air, harvests the monsoon, and gives every desk a view of green.

The project, in our own words

A central planted courtyard becomes the building's lung - drawing cool air through open-plan floors and catching the monsoon into a visible cistern below.

Filler-slab floors and an earth-toned, daylight-led interior keep the energy demand low and the workday calm.

How it looks, and what it is made of

a few frames

Real site photography will replace these. For now, each frame is a warm reference of the materials and the land this project grows from, never passed off as the building itself.
