Jadala Place is a 7-storied building that was completed in 2012. The building design ensures maximum utility by adopting a cuboidal form creatively accentuated by curvilinear elements and interplay of rectilinear recesses. The use of a near square layout facilitates maximum utility of space to the advantage of the end user. The building adopted sustainable environment strategies to enhance quality of user space and addressed issues of high-energy costs that culminate in a high-end product for office and commercial functions. Provision of an atrium, orientation of windows against prevailing winds as well as shading eastern and western façades coupled with buffering with service areas, ensure an energy efficient building. Centralization of the circulation core, whereas adds to structural integrity of the building, also enhances utility of space. Utilization of locally available materials in the building’s construction will ensure that lifelong maintenance of the building over the building’s lifecycle is affordable to the client.
