Introduction

We are required to construct a project that serves a specific purpose

chosen by ourselves.There are five purposes which are, recreation

area,study enchancement area,food and beverage(dining area),rest

area and commercial area(food and beverage are not included).After

that ,students need to chose a site or area which is not larger that 30m

x 30m.Student should do research and analysis before deciding of the

construction project.For our group,we have chosen the empty space

located at Block E level 2 (balcony).We decided to propose it as a

rooftop café (food and beverage).

Site Analysis

This site is about 27m x 15.5m.It is a big empty balcony with only a partial roof

beside it.In the site, there is railing around the area and also a 3 meters extended

roof from the right side of the site. There is a car park and a sport court located

in south direction.Towards the west part, there is a view of the opposite roof

This site is located at Block E level 2 balcony. We chose this site is because this area is abandoned and it is unused for long time

terrace of the same level.Towards the east part,there are some large and tall

trees and also residential area. Taylor’s lake is located in south-east direction.

Circulation

The site is easily accessed.There is no specific circulation of peoples because

there is nothing attract people to come to this site as it is a empty area.People

can access via the stairs from Block E level 1 and Block E level 3, lifts ( all

levels from Block E ), the Divisional Office of Education, and the Divisional

Office of Business and the central avenue that connects Block B, C , D and E.

Understanding of Dining Area

dining area - an area arranged for dining; "they put up tents for the dining

area"

area - a part of a structure having some specific characteristic or function;

"the spacious cooking area provided plenty of room for servants"

A place where people can have/find their meals,foods or beverages and

also it is for commercial purposes.

Suggestion and ProposalResting Area

Resting area is one of the suggestion as our site is also suitable to do so.

Students can stopby and take a rest without any disturbance as the site is a less

passerby area. Students who wish to take a sleep can also stopby.This will give

more advantages for students who work late or even overnight in campus.

Commercial

Sports equipment shop is also one of our consideration in this project as our site

is near the sports court in campus.Students can take advantages to buy the sports

equipment in short distance from the sports court.The prices is cheaper than the

other shops outside as it is located in campus and also most of the customers

would be students.

Concept

Our aim is simple, it is to change the uninteresting and unused area

into a crowded place that everyone know and also for relaxation

purposes.The design of the rooftop café is unique and most importantly it

is comfortable that is suitable for rest and relaxation.

The design is environmentally friendly and it is closer to nature as

it will be plants and small trees planted in the site or in the café.This

rooftop café would open 24 hours 7 days a week as it can give benefits to

architecture students in Block E for relaxation and also release their

tension in their works.

It is also a place where they can escape themselves from busy

schedule and a place to communicate among themselves to allow them

improve their relationship.This place is also suitable for having

discussion(assignment/project),meeting or even an intimate for couples.

All the furnitures and elements will be eco-friendly and also

comfortable .

Rough sketch

Authority Requirement and DocumentationAuthority requirements

Application for landuse conversion Building plan submission/approval Requirement during construction Completion of works and handing over Works related to utility/services Operation and maintenance (O&M) Requirement of Department of Environment

Documentation

Drawings Design reports Construction records Operation and maintenance manual Maintenance, Repair and Upgrading records Performance records

Submittal requirements

Submission for Land Subdivision Submission for Building Plan Approval

Conclusion

It is a simple and eco-friendly design that can brings relaxation to

students and staffs in campus.We believe that students and staffs can get

benefits from the project.They can chose to have their meal or take a break here

rather than walk to the commercial block in campus.We also believe that this

project may turn a abandoned and empty area into a place where everybody

knows and crowded.

This project may create more business in campus and also improve the

social issues.
