Central Atrium: for stack effect; office is terraced to create larger air cavity towards the top, thereby slowing the vertically increasing wind velocities caused by stack
Housing: south-facing, receives most of the sun, shades the generally overheated office block, receives south-western winds in the summer
Office: north-facing, is shaded by housing, protects the housing from cold north-western winds
