Faryners House proposal is a refined yet simple architectural composition, comprising of two interconnected elements: a central cube and an organic wing. This design approach is sensitive to its context, gradually transitioning to a neighbourhood scale along the narrow Botolph Lane and
St. George’s Lane, and towards Monument Square, thereby recognising its relationship with The Monument.
Situated within a dense urban context, the building’s façades experience variable solar exposure, leading to contrasting performance considerations - ranging from excessive solar gain on exposed façade areas to low daylight levels on shaded areas. Inform Design was appointed for solar performance assessments of the typical façades. ​
​
​In more detail:
-
Touch base with the solar performance of the intended façade design
-
Examine the implications on the design for different Peak Solar Gains targets.
-
Identify configurations that satisfy the criteria for two types of façade schemes: (a) those comprising only glass options without movable shading units, and (b) those incorporating movable shading units (fabrics).
