3. • 5,400-square-foot open-air
pavilion is an education
and meeting center that
serves as a demonstration
site for the Dixon Water
Foundation.
• The project physically
embodies their mission to
promote healthy
watersheds through
sustainable land
management.

9. Only building materials
having low environmental
impact.
Natural materials and
human scaled spaces.
100% of wastewater is
treated onsite and returned
to the natural water cycle.
At least 100% of the energy
used is produced by solar
panels and testing has
confirmed that indoor air
quality is almost
indistinguishable from
surrounding outdoor fresh
air.
11. Water body to cool the
micro climate.
Orientation of building :
North – South.
External shading devices :
Shaded roof and windows.
Optimized window
design by selection of Low
E glass and external
shading.
Daylight integration in all
living spaces.
12. (b) Reduction of Noise
• Planting trees on the periphery will reduce noise disturbance into the building
• Cushioning under floor finish to reduce sound transmission on the lower floors
• Sound absorptive panes in seminar and class rooms
