APARTMENT BUILDING HEIGHT: BUILDING MATERIALS:
BUILDINGA HEIGHT NOT EXCEED THE GLASS FAÇADE REFLECTS SUN RAYS WHICH MAY

SURROUNDING BUILDINGS’ HEIGHT. INCRESES TEMPERATURE INSIDE AS WELL AS OF
SURROUNDING
A MIXED-USE BUILDING AIMS TO COMBINE THREE OR
MORE USES INTO ONE STRUCTURE SUCH AS

I
RESIDENTIAL, HOTEL, RETAIL, PARKING,
TRANSPORTATION, CULTURAL, AND ENTERTAINMENT. BUILDING PARTS
PARKING:
WHATEVER THE COMBINATION, IT BRINGS TOGETHER SEPARATE ENTRACES FOR RESIDENCIAL
SEVERAL USES WITHIN EITHER ONE BUILDING OR A UNIT AND COMMERCIAL. LEAST ONE PARKING SLOT FOR EACH RESIDENCE
SMALL AREA.

THE TWO MOST COMMON FORMS OF MIXED-USE

DESIGN ARE:
SAFETY CONSTRAINS:
WELL-DESIGNED NETWORK OF EXITS,
USES DISTRIBUTION:
N
VERTICAL. AS A SINGLE, MULTI-STORY BUILDING, A COMMERCIAL UNIT- GROUND FLOOR
TYPICAL MIX PLACES APARTMENTS ON THE UPPER FIRE STAIRS, FIRE DETECTORS AND

T
RESIDENCE UNIT- ABOVE FLOORS
LEVELS AND RETAIL OR OFFICES AT STREET LEVEL. A
SPRINKLERS. SEPARATE CIRCULATION SPACE AND MAINTAINING
BASEMENT LEVEL PROVIDES PARKING AND/OR ACCESS
TO UNDERGROUND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. PRIVACY AND SAFETY MEASURES.
HORIZONTAL. SPREAD OVER SEVERAL BUILDINGS,
SUCH AS A CITY BLOCK OR AROUND AN OPEN SPACE OR
COURTYARD, THESE INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS SERVE
ONE OR TWO SPECIFIC USES WHILE CREATING A
MICROCOSM WITHIN A NEIGHBORHOOD.

CAUSES TROUBLE FOR RESIDENCE OWNERS.
ANALYSIS 5. COMPACT PLANNING WITH HIGH DENSITY OF USERS MAY LEADS TO CONGESTION.
2 SEEMS NON FRIENDLY TOWARDS VENTILLATION AND LIGHT..
6. IRREGULAR BUILT FORM OF RESIDENTIAL UNIT BLOCK WHEN SEEN SEPARATELY
