LEVEL

The outer glass facade acts as a curtain wall.

The inner wall jus has a wooden framing. This would create a buffer area and could act as a weather protection.

WEATHER PROTECTION Glass panels with spider fittings are attached to the wall providing shelter to the semi open space below

SPATIALITY CLOSED SPACE

OPEN SPACE

the wide use of the open space - the deck,the semi-open space - the lounge, and closed space - activity area has resulted in an homogeneous and gradual spatiality

WATER LANSCAPE

1)Recycling - water from the fountain is reused over and over again to conserve 2)Drainage-water flows into the amphitheatre and is slowly channelled through using open drains 3)Dissipation-The water logged the amphitheatre slowly dissipates into the ground via the earth filling

OUT DOOR LIGHTING To protect the electrical works from weather, a metallic protection is made.

LEVELS IN LANDSCAPE SKY LIGHTS Air and diffused light enter from the podium (landscape) level into the ground (parking) level to cool and brighten it.

1) there is a change in level (i.e. a single step, multiple steps, tile drop) as the scape changes,to de mark the different scape and also to contain the different scape.

2) trees and large change in level protect the sand pit from heating up in the summers.

STAIRCASE BLOCK The U-shaped stair case is built like a block enclosed in glass cube.

The three sides of the stair case are glass cladded (like a window) and only one glass is openable.

The stair case gives a nice view of the banyan tree (that stands beside) through the glass openings.

TOILET Height of the toilet blocks are about 15 cm lower than the ceiling. It adds to the ventilation of the toilet block.

Ventilation of the entire toilet is facilitated by a single louvered window.

The air entering through the louvers takes out the foul air inside the toilet and expels through the openings in the ceiling.

As there were no openings in the closed spaces artificial ventilation was necessary, without which the room could get very musty and stuffy

The silo is used as a traffic island to direct the traffic in and out of the club house and the housing complex.

It is the reminants of the mill compound that was situated at the site previously.Thus acting as a connection to the previous context

It acts as a landmark for the club house as well as the housing complex.

STRENGTH

THREATS

•Corporate class members •Good management •Easy uptake •High density of members in the area •Easy access to the members •Exclusive membership •Ownership of club-house is with the builder •Uses rainwater harvesting for filling the pool.

•Uses recycled water •Fixed peak and slow times

• Slums region nearby. There are chances of people moving to a better locality.

• There is a possibility of redevelopment of the slums. New and better housing complexes with better facilities may come in.

WEAKNESS •Couldn’t attract members to the club

S. W. O. T.

•Poor Ventilation in closed spaces •The area for the purpose perceived by the architect is not being used the way it should be.

Eg: Eating space, Pantry.

•No prospect of expansion

OPPORTUNITY • The club can be used for the member’s personal use.

Wedding, parties etc.

• Recycling of members (from older to younger).

SECTION DETAIL Responding to the horizontal feature of surrounding landscape and trees in site, the building is made into a linear and folded form. It zigzags and flows, sometimes approaching the ground, sometimes floating in the air. While inside it provides to visitors various views at different level and angle, it also gives an impression that architecture is touching the site in a very “light� form, thus creating a subtlety. The soft soil geo-condition of the site also makes this floating form structurally reasonable since slim columns on pile foundations support the building

F U R T H E R D E T A I L S

12

Minimum floor thicknesses and column are used to emphasize the building’s lightness.

Low iron glass and white aluminium panels, precast concrete and translucent glass partitions are found in the internal material palette.

Open-air voids created by the plan’s configuration allow thin plant stalks to pass through the floor plates, receiving natural daylight and growing towards the sky.
