Site selection
The directions and alignment of the plot with respect to
north, determines the location of spaces within the
structure, with respect to orientation principles. The most
suitable site is selected considering access to site,
characters of structures around the site, existing greenery,
and dimensions of the site so as to get an idea of
foreground and side margins, openness from point of view
of ventilation, light and view, sound and air pollution,
elevation of the ground with respect to the existing roads.
A suitable site is selected with size 78 m X 42 m with
access from its South. The rear side of the plot is open with
provision for enough ventilation and lighting.
Orientation
The building is proposed to be approximately in
rectangular form with the longitudinal axis of the building
aligned along the East-West direction where minimum heat
is received thus achieving temperature moderation and
natural day-lighting. This provision causes minimum
wall area to expose to direct sunrays and thus cause less
absorption and radiation of heat as well as avoid glare. The
exposure of south walls to the sun is reduced by providing
chhajjas and sun breakers.
The cabins of the account section are towards the North
to make use of the comfort zone with no direct sunrays and
air conditioned rooms are placed towards the south.
ENTERY AREA
