STRUCTURE AND FACADE STUDY

Ambition

When constructing a building in such an urban environment where the natural environment is severely affected, the damage to the environment should be minimized as much as possible. Also, the structure should be designed to be easy to build and durable. Therefore, when considering the structure, it should be constructed to suit the context.

Integration Of Building Structure Into Design

TYPICAL SECOND FLOOR

TYTPICAL FIRST FLOOR

Substructure - The substructure is the lowest part of the building that transmits the entire weight of the building. Here the nature of the soil and the bearing capacity of the soil should be taken into consideration while selecting the substructure. There pile foundation and raft foundation were used for the substructure of this design. This structure was used as a remedy because the t18 / t20 ‘watta’(slums) near the site was submerged in water and it was assumed that the soil moisture was high However, the pile / raft foundation used that structure due to its high load bearing capacity.

TYPICAL GROUND FLOOR

Super structure - Basically the super structure consists of a 300 * 300 column base structure. Also, the floor of this structure is made of rcc concrete, and all the walls here are made of compressed stabilized bricks. Its windows and doors are made mainly of materials such as steel and timber.

Facade Study

Ambition

The aim was to provide a natural healing effect to the occupants of the home, while preserving their privacy and giving them a greater view of the environment.

This avoids direct sunlight and direct wind flow. Also, the vines around the vertical blind give the viewers a natural healing effect.

1000mm high half wall around the cantilevered balcony protects the viewers privacy and allows viewers to view maximum views. Also, the flower trough around the balcony tries to bring naturalness into the house.

The aluminum swing window consist with double glazed glass. So, it prevents the heat come into house. it only allows light enter to the house.

Lastly there is a 225mm thick wall coated with weather shield paint to protect it from the rain.
