Elevations
We Started from site setting layout ,then ground floor plans, Basic idea
of how the building look like and how they vision in providing
accommodation to 500 students
The Plan essentially consists of three towers and one common plaza
connecting them together
Tower 1 is facing towards the North & tower 2 faces South. A plaza is
situated in between these two towers and after this tower 3 comes.
This is a basic idea of the coming structure
The ground is not level there is a level difference of about 2 metres
from first point to last point in the plant i.e. from west to east.
