INTRODUCTION

For this semester we were required to design a climate resilient guesthouse prototypes for low laying islands based on the reaserch by SIGS and our own findings.

Innitially a deskstop study was conducted to understand the effects of climate change and later field visits to AA. Mathiveri, AA. bodufolhudhoo and nika resort was carried out to understand the cause of the resiliency and weakness of the guesthouses and the island itself. The research

included

creating

a

framework, gathering

information through surveys about island life and guesthouses in the area, and physically assessing how local tourism

01

and

climate

change

are

impacted.

ANALYSIS

During the field trip, we looked at six guesthouses in total. Three were from AA. Bodufolhudhoo and three were from AA. Mathiveri. In the survey, we concentrated on the resources they employed, the resilience measures they adopted, and the sustainable objectives

they

attempted

to

meet.

The findings indicate that relatively little steps are being made to promote sustainability and resilience to the effects of climate change. Owners of guesthouses need to be made aware of these changes in climate conditions and resiliency and sustainability.

Road measurement

PROBLEM

Bodufolhudhoo, a small island that faces the challenge of compact living including narrow and confusing roads and densely packed structures. Thick vegetation obstructs cross ventilation leading to heat gain and humidity. This

Solid | void

creates an uncomfortable environment for residents and tourists alike leading to a regrettable experience.

The first map displays the road measurements from Bodufolhudhoo from the side. It is evident from it that the roads are quite small and difficult to navigate. The second map illustrates the closely spaced buildings and vegetation that

ventilation.

Touchstone

The displayed touchstone stands for something that is calling for freedom. the closely spaced buildings and the glimmer of joy that emerges from the holes in the building.

These are tiny roads that are obstructed by structures.

There's no ventilation and the views are obstructed.

MACRO SITE ANALYSIS Despite the fact that Bodufolhudhoo is a relatively tiny island, the field tour revealed that every student felt the intense humidity.

Airflow is impeded by densely packed structures and thick vegetation. The site is located on the west side of the island, which is more susceptible to erosion than the island's east side, which is demonstrated

to

be

at

risk

for

tsunamis.

MICRO SITE ANALYSIS The location chosen for this design lies in the middle of both the ancient and new settlement areas. And a beautiful view of the seashore greets visitors to the location. This building will serve as a focal point for future

New settlement

projects in the new settlement area. The Iruvai mosoon wind

design aims to create breathable designs where light and ventilation are maximized.

FLOOR PLAN

The restaurant and lounge area are two raised blocks that make up the ground floor layout of the structure. The four columns that form the building's core and the stairway that serves as the rooms' and upper floors' circulation system are both public areas. When people become accustomed to this place, level variances allow people for a continuous movement throughout the building.

Focusing on the two public spaces, each of which appears to be quite open and free. People can rest and unwind in the lounge, and the restaurant is positioned closer to the shore to take full use of the view. Additionally, there is a seating and sunbathing area on the upper slab of these two spaces.

POD PLAN

The top floors have four modest communal areas and eight rooms. For more resilience, the rooms are scattered among two storeys. because if the spaces are scattered, the effects of an exemplary flood are minimal. Common areas with planted

greenery

serve

as

a

link

between

different

areas.

To have the best view possible, two distinct types of rooms are available. Similar to the other areas, the bedroom area is raised, while the bathroom and balcony are lowered in this room. Glass is used to provide openness, while the upper slab has splits made to create an ambient room with diffused lighting.

CORE STRUCTURE The model below illustrates the structural design that underlies the bolted connection between prefabricated pods and the main core structure. The design emphasized modular

architecture,

allowing

for

the

addition or removal of pods as needed.

The general layout of the design is depicted in the model above. Similar to the pods, the pattern circulates from the center and then spreads outward. Private areas are located on the top floors, and public spaces are located below. If necessary, the pods display the region of interaction from the balcony.
