Since Kerala is a coastal state with high humidity and rising temperature, clay jali walls, double heights and perforated sky-lit courtyards were used to achieve uninterrupted airflow and  ample natural light,. The staircase acts as the core of light and ventilation by providing additional air movement by discharging the rising hot air through a wind-powered industrial revolving ventilator. These openings and perforations were placed carefully on the east side, letting in morning rays throughout the building. These aspects have reduced the need for electric lights during the day and any need for air conditioning.

The use of prefabricated 12 x 3-meter glass fibre reinforced gypsum panels (GFRG) for the walls, with its vertical ribs filled with concrete, insulates the interior space from the heat outside. The gypsum used in the manufacturing of the panels is an industrial by-product that otherwise ended up in landfills polluting the environment. These innovative panels are a better insulator to heat than conventional wall materials like brick and concrete blocks. the smooth and straight wall surface achieved by GFRG panels allowed for avoiding plastering of walls. Using the GFRG panels for walls, the superstructure was completed in 100 days, saving time and cost.  Collectively, the design vocabulary and construction material ensure considerable temperature reduction inside the building and adequate lighting and ventilation throughout.
