The building houses guest quarters – for visiting engineers and upper level staff members – of the Jaffna Wind Power Park, located close to a lagoon. It is the culmination of an axis/spine of 16 wind power plants. The structure has a simple plan executed with a low budget, without harming the vegetation in its context. Its open ground floor living and finishes that reflect colors of its surroundings are unique features.
