As such, the building is screened off on the east and west sides by a modern interpretation of the traditional Islamic mesh screen to avoid direct solar glare. A central courtyard is carved out from the massing, and runs across the north-south axis to facilitate wind circulation through the site. Entrances are aligned to capture the prevailing winds. Other features of the complex include open-air terraces within building levels as a result of the stacking of building volumes.
