Tutorial Progress for 29/11/2016

Hi Ms. Sheera, for today’s tutorial, I did the following items:

• Addressed the issues which were raised after the interim submission

• Refined the ground floor plan by adding more furniture to define the function and usage of the spaces

• Completed a 1: 50 section with elements inserted inside.

1. Addressing the issue raised after interim submission

• The comments given for my getaway design were that the location of the getaway was too near to the main tar road and, as such, noise generated from the activities carried outside may create disturbances to the getaway’s users.

• Moreover, privacy of the users who are residing within the building may be affected as well as passers-by may be able to view the situation within the building.

• As such, I was advised to move the location of the getaway further inward to allow the building to be blend in with the surrounding natural element more.

The diagram on the left shows the original ground floor plan.

Location of getaway entrance is too near to the main tar road.

Using the meranti trees on site as a rotation point, I rotated the plan in a clockwise manner to allow the building to be located away from the main tar road, yet, at the same time, allowing the significant stairs and patio to surround the merantitrees.

Distance between entrance and reception hall increased

Change in orientation of the ground floor plan allowed the patio to be placed on top of different contour lines. As such the cut made on the surface of the patio as well as the arrangement and shape of benches situated on the patio was altered to suit this change.

The change in the orientation of the ground floor will not affect the effects of the natural surroundings on the building.

The diagram shows the site analysis submitted for the previous tutorial.

2. Refined the ground floor plan by adding more furniture to define the function and usage of the spaces

• For the latest ground floor plan, furniture were added to each spaces to define the function and usage of the spaces.

• A bathroom was also added at the ground floor.

Dry kitchen-like table added as the corner of the space.
