Before starting the design process, in-depth research was done for the needs of the people living in Kochi. Taking into account the richness of the site, it was very essential to design something that would add value to the promising land. Carving a part of the land for plantation area, which would evolve to become a forest, would provide for a better environment and ensuring a balance of grey and greens. The green house in the center helps the plants that need to be grown in special conditions and taken special care of. The green house is designed as a dome structure allowing for greater heat trapping effect giving the plants an optimum condition to grow in. The pond provided in front of the hostel and the guest house helps cool down the air that enters the built structure and eventually bringing down the temperature hence eliminating the need for external cooling systems.
