The environmental performance of the revised design focuses on passive comfort for the Port Dickson coastal climate. The original proposal had potential for wind, courtyard, and shading, but these strategies needed to be developed more clearly. In the revised design, environmental performance is improved through cross ventilation, stack effect, west sun shading, roof overhangs, and an off-center courtyard that works as a ventilation core. These strategies help the retreat respond to heat, humidity, sea breeze, and strong sunlight while supporting the concept of “Stillness in Motion.”
Environmental performance diagram showing how the revised retreat uses sea breeze, courtyard ventilation, stack effect, shading, and passive cooling to respond to the Port Dickson coastal climate
The revised environmental strategy makes the retreat more breathable, shaded, and climate-responsive. Instead of depending mainly on mechanical cooling, the design uses wind, courtyard ventilation, shading, and section-based airflow to improve comfort and strengthen the relationship between climate and concept.
