The Passive Solar design structure utilizes the direct gain technique of using sun energy to heat and light the structure. An addition to studio eco-friendly design an off-grid solar energy system will supply the energy needs of the studio. Incorporating passive solar energy technologies, the building is a testament to how intelligent architectural design can enhance energy efficiency while still creating a distinctive visual appearance.
