The building has been designed with large eaves that shade the internal rooms from direct sunlight which reduces heat
sink effects. The orientation of the building has also been carefully considered so that the eaves are shading the
Eastern and Western sides. These strategies, help to passively cool the building which reduces the amount of energy
being used.

The orientation and plan of the building allows large areas of the outdoor playspace to be shaded at various points
throught the day. The landscaping around the site provides further natural shading and will create interesting moments
of light and shadow as light is cast throught the leaves.

Large windows and doors into each room allow an abundance of ambient light into the rooms which reduces the need
for as much artificial lighting.
