• people also gets attached to the

 Site inference
• more noise on the north side of the road because of the location of
high road

•so buffer space can be added to avoid noise and smell

• silent spaces like library, meditation hall,yoga hut should not be

loacted next to main road because of noise

• martial arts and training area can be loacted under the tree for natural
shade and ventilation

• parking can be located on south east side because there is more

sunlight and it can be placed there since it is used only when needed
