Site Analysis

Justification

Many of the housing projects introduced by previous governments before the lower income category have been provided with housing after a certain amount of valuation. There the value of those houses had to be paid in installments If such a lower income project is carried out on such a valuable land, the value of that land will also be added to the houses being built here What happens there is that the problems of those lower income people get worse. There they start making money even though they are doing various anti-social work. What is happening is that the housing schemes designed to uplift the living standards of the poor and uplift the living standards of the people are further degrading their living standards.

There I considered who really needed this housing scheme. What I found there were more than 20 government agencies located within 5km of the site. Overall, the majority of these public servants belong to the professional category. 30% as a percentage. 20% of it belongs to the western province. 9% of them have permanent housing in Colombo. The remaining 11 percent may be temporarily residing in Colombo. Or some may come from homes in their outlying areas. Either way, it is a waste of money and time for those public servants.

As a result, they become mentally and physically unhealthy. So, all they have to do is build houses so that they can easily go to their place of work.

A scattered mind caused downgraded Mental health

Concept

In the middle class most of the times both mother & father are breadwinners. Which results them both with busy lives and less chance to interact with each other.

It also increases stress

An environment that is stress free & allow the busy people to interact more. Views and environment related gathering places are provided in order to calm their minds which will allow them to interact more & Strengthen their bonds.
