Blue Cottage of CannonDesign — An industry-leading consultancy focused on defining bold futures and creating the plans, processes, experiences and strategies to get there. We believe the built environment needs to be a positive agent for change. But also capable of improving conditions for people, communities, society, businesses and the environment individually and all at once. The majestic topography and landscape around just adds to the beauty of the structure. This structure is not only luxurious, facility wise but also design wise. The owner Mr. Garnot Langes- Swarovski specially procured Swarovski crystals to be used in the top of the line lighting fixtures used in the lighting design of the structure creating a grand atmosphere throughout the structure.

If you look at the plan, it reflects the openness that the Architect wanted to convey. This technique paved path to more daylight travelling through the school. The courtyard in the center inculcates and retains a sense of social community among the children harboring a ‘home away from home’ vibe. The courtyard in the center also allows single loaded passageways, thus using maximum floor plate for habitable spaces. Concluding on the planning aspect of the structure, the habitable spaces are designed geometrically perpendicular to one another but the common spaces between them are of asymmetric pattern due to the radial geometry of the courtyard. The planning was made sure to be adaptable for future contraction or expansion of spaces thus not affecting the environmental impact and the cost of renovation.
