After review, the study does not cause as many issues in relation to heat generation as the gym. As per the gym the study does not face directly West and has been rotated 35 degrees to the south, this allows theses spaces to avoid significantly more sun then if they faced directly west. The glass doors to the front of the study are protected by the roof over hang and do not begin to receive direct sunlight until after 3pm (approx). The key thing to also note is that this western elevation will be heavily planted and a significant amount of vegetation already exists on the surrounding site. The rear wall to the north west is solid and does not contain the glass as seen on the other elevations.

 
The above illustration demonstrates my intention for natural ventilation, with large sliding doors, large opening windows and louvers.
