With the picturesque panoramic view of surroundings, two urban apertures were designed for view as well as cross ventilation. The east-west urban aperture of 75’X60’ and north-south urban aperture of 100’X60’ modify the site geography by linking physically the building and visually the elements of the site. The cooling load is reduced by introducing ‘Light and Water garden’, ‘UV Infrared Protective Glass Screen’ and glass shade on south.




Gulshan Club Limited shows lightness and fragility in structure while reveals its complexity to both the passing spectators and distant viewers. GCL would become a new symbol of cultural energy for the members and for the city, forming a vector to the future by its emblematic appearance and contents.
