The plastic stools migrating into the service corridor by the chilled water risers says everything. Dense timber like balau holds onto solar radiation so relentlessly that without microclimate and surface temperature modeling around that concrete core, it was always bound to turn into a skillet by mid-afternoon.

Plastic stool migration is the truest post-occupancy evaluation there is. Chilled riser corridors win every summer.

Balau looks stunning on an elevation, but it really does bake by afternoon. Has the building team thought about retrofitting any shade out there, or has that chilled water corridor just permanently become the unofficial courtyard?
