Housing Project Semester

The objective of the studio is to have the students acquire knowledge of activity mapping and anthropometric study of the space along with the study of providing the client’s requirements. The idea was to design spaces, the personal and the family alongside the rental unit.

The idea was to create a unit of 1BHK, 2BHK as rental units, and 4BHK as housing for the client. The aim is to achieve privacy between the personal housing and rental units comply to have access to all common service facilities.

CLIENT’S REQUIREMENT

Mr. P is looking to construct a house in Bengaluru. His requirements are 1BHK - 2nos. for rent, 2BHK - 1no. for rent, 4BHK for his family in 50*70 site. The site is surrounded by residences on three sides and faces a commercial establishment in the front. Additionally, he requires car and bike parking and a servents quarter.

Mr. P lives with his family - Mrs. P loves cooking and gardening. They have two children ages 16 and 20. PA is a 20-year-old girl inclined to arts and loves to read. PB is a 16-year-old boy. Mr. P’s mother visits them often – she loves to pray, chant songs, loves cooking for her grandkids; but at her age, she finds it difficult to climb the stairs – a solution to this will make her a happy person. Mr. P loves to entertain his family and friends – drinks, food, and music becomes the binding factor for them.

All the tenants and Mr. P’s family should have their privacy and yet have access to all the common service facilities.

Development

Concept

The design aims to learn and focus on built and unbuilt spaces of the proposed site. Since the existence of vegetation on the site, the space acquired by the trees are retained which in return gives a view to the user, and the remaining space is operated as a built area. Considering the components on the neighboring side of the site, it is crucial to give an open space for ventilation; an idea of bringing open balcony or open garden have accomplished.
