// the spaces are arranged based on the hierarchy of privacy level // all the therapy circles are placed in the front but the direct entry is restricted. // all the services like linen, kitchen and other storages are places at the rear of the building // all the therapy and corridor spaces opens in to the inner courtyards // pedestrian movement is regulated throughout the building
// because of the high humidity level, the architect also gave equal importance to the climatic design principles //

// open spaces are very well merged with the built-form // all the linkage like corridors are connced physcially to the consultation rooms and visually to the landscaped courtyards. // the resticted link is established for the therapy room to avoid the disturbance by other users // all the linkages are well light and well shaded // the corridor floor slab is elevated from the ground level gives floating effect to the building.
// much attention to the detail is given. the architect have used precast rings to frame the vistas, this also reduce the usage of concrete in the building // all the east facing windows are larger to give the view o the beach, it also has less radiation inside.
