Coworking Space and Retail Area : Maximize Daylight Intensity Throught Facade Design and Performance

-

Daylight in the building not just for physiological and physiological cause, but also for energy saving that could be obtained through a suitable daylight and an optimal integration between daylight and electrical light and cooling system. One of the keys to passive design is a natural daylight that can impact on building and occupant performance. A kinetic façade allows movement on a building's surface by changing dynamic instead being static or fixed. A façade that not only provides aesthetic value to the structure, but also responds to the current luminance and illuminance in the building, maximizing natural lighting comfort for the building's performance and occupant comfort. Sun shading is the most effective solution on controlling illuminance in the building. By combining shading with technology, it will make illuminance control in the building. this paper aims to access daylight illuminance by using kinetic façade design.

TINEL VACATION HOUSE, CROATIA by SODA ARCHITEKTI tinel vacation house was designed by soda architect in Korčula, croatia. the house started to construct on 2015 and finished on 2017. The steep and narrow plot with relatively small area and northern slope lead to architectural solutions creating a pleasant living environment.  The design meets the original value of local architectural heritage such as simplicity,  functionality and appropriate human scale. The buildings are designed in order to achieve new values in accordance with today's lifestyle. One of the goals was setting the appropriate human scale, building proportions and size. In such a steep terrain the objective was to make the  building the part of the landscape. It is designed as a half-buried building in simple, small volumes that are interconnected in such a way to realize the rich spatial relationships between inner and outer space. Given all of the above, flat roofs are elements that allow maximum use of...

 Building occupants prefer spaces with good daylight distribution for their living and working spaces. It is particularly important in a workspace that sunlight is present for indoor illumination in order to affect worker satisfaction, performance, and productivity (Nazzal, 2005). It could be a disadvantage for optimal visual conditions to have a lot of daylight available in the building, not only because of psychological reactions to too much sunlight, but also because of the change of daylight properties over time. Natural daylight in a building such as workspace is highly detrimental to the productivity of the occupant and possibilities to the performance of an organization. In a tropical climate, the sky is predominantly intermediate, with inconsistent clouds, which will influence the amount of direct sunlight and daylight available. (Lim, 2014).
