Arkin Tilt Architects begin by creating a Site Analysis Diagram, collating solar orientation and sun paths, key views, landscape features, and other impacts on the site. We thoroughly assess the site conditions (topography, vegetation, climate, context, local traditions and available resources). If needed, we prepare a Solar Aspect Analysis, illustrating constraints (such as trees, mountains or neighboring structures) upon passive solar heating and day-lighting.
