The building heights have been based on the planning submission. In general the proposed buildings comprise a double height podium of glass around the the base, with an upper portion of around 4 stories. Above this, there is "potential for expansion" of up to an additonal six stories. Allen Tod have recommended a percentage of this portion - indicated here on the model by the darker brown. This gives us an overall massing envelope which represents the typical scenario, and it is this which I have used for the sun path analysis.

This sunpath analysis has been essential, as I find the brief taking the project more and more toward passive solar design.
