• STAIRCASE
PROBLEM
THIS IS THE COMMON STAIRCASE FOR
NINE FAMILES, AND THE WIDTH OF THIS
STAIRCASE IS VERY LESS AS COMPARED
TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE USING IT.
MAKING IT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR
THE USERS TO PASS BY, AS COMING TO
CONTACT WITH THE OTHER PERSON
CROSSING THE SAME WILL INCREASE.
SOLUTION
TO AVOID THE CONTACT DURING CROSSING OF PEOPLE,
PLACING A PLEXI GLASS SCREEN BETWEEN THE STAIRCASE,
CREATING A BARRIER AND TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS OR
LANES FOR GOING UPSTAIRS AND COMING DOWN , WHERE
ONLY ONE PERSON CAN BE ACCOMODATED AT A TIME. THIS
HELPS IN REDUCING THE CHANCES OF CONTAMINATION AS
WELL AS AN EASY FLOW OF PEOPLE WITHOUT CONFLICTS.

• ENTRANCE BUFFER SPACE
PROBLEM SOLUTION
NO BUFFER SPACE/ ISOLATED ROOM AVAILABE
USING THE ENTRANCE FOYER , FOR CREATING A SEMI ENCLOSED SPACE
FOR SANITIZING, KEEPING STUFFS FROM THE
BY FIXING A MOVABLE SLIDING DOORS AND PROVIDING BASIC
MARKET. WE HAVE TO ENTER THE LIVING
AMENTIES , LIKE A WASH BASIN, SMALL CUPBOARD AND A DUSTBIN FOR

• LIVING ROOM
PROBLEM SOLUTION
TO COVER UP THE SPACE AND CREATE A SENSE OF
HAD TO SHIFT TO THE LIVING CUM GUEST ROOM,
PRIVACY, A SEMI- ENCLOSED SPACE IS CREATED INSIDE
DUE TO LACK OF ROOMS AS PER THE NUMBER OF
THE LIVING ROOM USING A PARTITION WALL, WHICH WILL
FAMILY MEMBERS, SO THE PRIVACY IS NOT
CREATE AN OBSTRUCTION FOR THE VIEW OF PEOPLE
AVAILABLE AS THIS BEING AN OPEN SPACE
FROM OUTSIDE AND WILL ALSO GIVE A COMFORTABLE
WHERE EVERYONE IS INVITED.
FEELING.

• WORK FROM HOME SPACE
PROBLEM
DUE TO THIS UNKNOWN SITUATION DURING
PANDEMIC, HANDLING WORK FROM HOME AND
ONLINE CLASSES ARE A VERY BIG ISSUE. A PRIVATE
PLUS CUMBERED SPACE IS A GREAT NEED. AS
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH OF SPACE AVAILABLE,
THERE IS MUCH CHAOS DURING THE CLASSES
WHICH CREATES HINDRANCES IN STUDY.
SOLUTION
USING BALCONY FOR CREATING A WORK FROM HOME/ ONLINE CLASS
SPACES, FOR PROVIDING A PRIVATE AND ACOUSTICALLY PLEASING
SPACE. AS BALCONY IS NOT USED DURING THE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON TIME PERIOD, BUT OCCUPIED DURING EVENING. SO,
MODULAR FURNITURE IS USED SO THAT THE BALCONY IF REQUIRED
CAN BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES ALSO.
