This hostel block balances efficiency, climate response and the needs of an industrial workforce. A rational master plan and repetitive modular units ensure speed and economy of construction.

Its stepped form maximises density while bringing in daylight, ventilation and shaded terraces; passive cooling, reflective surfaces and greenery make it a comfortable, climate-responsive home within an industrial setting.
