SELECTED DESIGN STRATEGIES
 Passive solar heating
Thermal mass effects
Dehumification
Natural ventilation
 orientation of the building 12.5° from north
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
 Construction materials:

 Suggested materials include glass, treated timber, cement

product, Bricks, stones, concrete, Gypsum, Steel

 beams, floors, columns should be able to resist fire for

not less than two hour

 Floor finishing materials include terrazzo, sand cement

screed, and tiles
Building layout and orientation on site:
Buildings will be organized to allow a clear air circulation and
natural light to every space. And oriented at an angle of 12.5°
from north
Roofs:
Fire resistant timber or steel trusses to be applied and tiles roof
covering material to control heat gain/lost
Climatic and environmental considerations:
Building elements like doors and windows should be positioned
to the building to encourage natural ventilation.
Also the use of shading device should be employed where
necessary

 The building have been planed in east

and west orientation..
 but orientation toward hot sun and
heavy rain, the orientation can be rotate
that may be give positive value.
 also the building have good access of
day light and breeze through terrace
garden and window the building have 4
different types of house, that is of
variations expressed externally by shear
end walls that hold up the cantilevers.
 The surfaces cut away to open up
double height terrace gardens at the
corners is the nice idea.

 Maison Loucheur (1928-9)

designed by Le Corbusier
A combination of folding
furniture and sliding walls
allows different configurations
for day and night.
Le Corbusier argues that the
purchaser is paying for 46m2
of space but through the
cleverness of the design is
actually getting 71m2 of
effective space.
