SITE VISIT

Electric Cable Layout

Electrical wiring was threaded through the oors before the casting process. Conduits in oor/ roof slab should be placed in a scattered fashion and making clusters of conduits should be avoided. Basically communication and telephone cables are taken from oors andlight circuit wiring through ceilings.

Down Slab (Sunk Slab)

Down Slabs are provided below the normal oor level in bathrooms, toilets, and laundry areas, where pipes or drainage systems are laid. It is constructed with the purpose of concealing all the pipes below the oor level to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the space.

Stirrups

Stirrups may be dened as a closed-loop bars tied at regular intervals in beam and column reinforcement to hold the bars in position. They are needed to hold safe the columns and beams from buckling and help in the resistance to lateral stresses (e.g., earthquake loads).

Floating Column

A column that is oating on a beam or a transfer slab is a oating column. That means this column is not starting from the ground from a footing This may be due to functional/architectural reasons. Here, a oating column is supported with the help of concealed beam. The depth of hidden beam is same as slab depth.

SITE VISIT

Crank Bar

A crank bar is included to enhance the safety of an RCC slab by minimizing compressive stresses and reducing the chance of a brittle failure in the connection between the slab and the column. This approach aims to economize materials by reducing the amount of steel required.

Fascia

Fascia is an architectural term for a vertical frieze or band under a roof edge, or which forms the outer surface of a cornice, visible to an observer. Incorporating a fascia beam on the front facade serves as a design element, enhancing the overall facade treatment and visual appeal.

Holdfast

Holdfast is a member which project from the body of door or window frame which holds the window or door frame in walls. Holdfasts are useful when the window and door frames are installed in place at the time of brickwork or blockwork, as those holdfast need to be anchored in wall.

Formwork for Slab and Beam

Formwork for slabs and beams is a temporary structure used in construction to create the mold or framework into which concrete is poured and allowed to set. It serves as a vital support system, dening the shape and dimensions of the slab or beam, while also providin necessary structural integrity during the curing process.

VAASTU SHASTRA

The study of the site's plan, elevation, and related drawings reveals a meticulous adherence to the principles of Vaastu Shastra in the redesign of this residence. Notably, the entrance follows the auspicious "Swastik" symbol, and it is advisable to position the entrance within the open arms of the Swastik for positive energy ow. Furthermore, the strategic placement of the master bedroom in the southwest corner of the residence aligns with the belief that the master bedroom symbolizes the head of the house, granting it the authority to oversee the entire household. Given the signicance of the northeast as the purest direction, it is aptly chosen for the location of the puja room, creating a harmonious and spiritually conducive space. Likewise, the positioning of the kitchen in the southeast corner corresponds with Vaastu principles, ensuring that it is appropriately placed to optimize the ow of energy and promote the well-being of the household. Overall, these careful considerations in design and layout demonstrate a thoughtful integration of Vaastu Shastra principles to enhance the residence's positive energy and wellbeing.

In accordance with Vaastu Shastra principles, the placement of toilets within a residence is a crucial aspect of maintaining a harmonious and balanced living environment. Toilets are ideally situated in the west or south direction, as these directions are considered more suitable for sanitation purposes. However, the specic arrangement within the toilet is also important. The commode should be oriented in the north-south direction, which is believed to align with the Earth's magnetic eld, promoting physical and psychological well-being. Additionally, the basin should be positioned in the east direction, ensuring proper water ow and drainage, which contributes to overall hygiene and the efcient functioning of the space This careful consideration of the toilet's placement and orientation in alignment with Vaastu principles is aimed at optimizing comfort and maintaining the positive energy balance within the home.

LEARNINGS

My uency in software works has been enhanced through learning about working drawings and electrical drawings, allowing me to prociently create and interpret these essential construction documents. Additionally, I've gained a comprehensive understanding of construction processes, honing my expertise in this eld. Furthermore, I've developed strong interpersonal skills by learning how to effectively interact with clients, ensuring their needs and expectations are met. Lastly, I've deepened my knowledge of construction materials, enabling me to make informed choices that contribute to the success and quality of construction projects. These learnings collectively empower me to excel in the construction industry, from technical aspects to client relations and material selection.

REQUIREMENT

Our client's primary requirement is to renovate the existing hotel rooms, comprising two distinct types: a romantic single bedroom with a king-size bed designed for couples, featuring an attached bathroom and a soothing decor, and a spacious family room with two beds and attached toilets for groups and families, offering versatility, neutral decor, and modern amenities. Both room types must prioritize guest comfort, safety, and convenience while integrating smart technology and sustainability practices to create a welcoming and environmentally conscious lodging experience.

I was assigned with the interior design project for hotel rooms in Chitwan. I began by working with a CAD le that outlined the room dimensions My i n i t i a l f o c u s r e v o l v e d a r o u n d optimizing furniture arrangements, a task that required meticulous consideration of crucial elements like air conditioning placement, doors, windows, and toilet access within the existing space Through a series of design iterations and collaborative efforts with a senior architect, I rened and solidied the most functional and aesthetically pleasing layout. Subsequently, using SketchUp, I translated these rened layouts into vibrant interior concepts. My creative process involved the selection of color palettes, furniture styles, lighting xtures, and decor elements, all meticulously chosen to align with the client's vision and accommodate the unique needs of each room type Furthermore, my designs integrated eco-friendly and technologically advanced elements, ensuring that the nal interior spaces not only met the client's expectations but also delivered an unforgettable guest experience in the heart of Chitwan.

CONCEPT

The hotel name, "Jungle Safari," serves as a captivating embodiment of the concept that seeks to emulate the uidity and movement of wildlife within their natural habitats In this context, the utilization of circular and oval geometric shapes takes center stage as a design concept. Ovals, in p a r t i c u l a r , d i v e r g e f r o m t h e conventional rectilinear or circular shapes, offering a unique opportunity to infuse architectural design with a pronounced sense of dynamism, organic movement, and innovative aesthetics. These shapes evoke the graceful curves and contours of the n a t u r a l w o r l d , c r e a t i n g a n a r c h i t e c t u r a l l a n g u a g e t h a t harmonizes with the surrounding environment and elevates the guest experience. Through this concept, "Jungle Safari" promises not only a physical stay but a sensory journey w h e r e g u e s t s c a n i m m e r s e themselves in the beauty and movement of nature.

SINGLE BED ROOM

In an endeavor to seamlessly integrate the hotel's name, "Jungle Safari," with its interior ambiance, I've meticulously curated a wallpaper design that harmonizes with the concept. The chosen wallpaper features a captivating depiction of graceful deer amidst lush, verdant trees, mirroring the wildlife encounters one might expect on an actual jungle safari. To further enhance this visual narrative, strategically positioned LED lights will gently illuminate the wallpaper, c a s t i n g a s o f t , i n v i t i n g g l o w t h a t complements the scene, evoking the enchanting ambiance of twilight in the wilderness. In pursuit of a holistic and harmonious interior design approach, I've extended my efforts to the ceiling, crafting a visually captivating scheme using graceful curves that will seamlessly align with the placement of LED lights The synergy between the curved ceiling and the lighting elements is poised to create an enchanting, owing ambiance that resonates with the organic feel of a jungle. Across from the bedroom area, the TV console design takes o n a t e x t u r a l d i m e n s i o n w i t h t h e incorporation of veneer, offering a tactile and visual contrast.

Jungle Safari, Interior/

Continuing the design concept of harmonious ceiling and wall arrangements, I've extended this approach to the twinbed room, creating a sense of visual unity. In this room, the focal point is a stunning wallpaper featuring picturesque hills, introducing an aesthetic dimension that complements the serene ambiance. The twin beds, each measuring 3'X6', offer a cozy and comfortable sleeping arrangement for guests. Like the single bedroom, this room also boasts an attached toilet for convenience and privacy, ensuring a comfortable stay. The inclusion of a TV facility caters to entertainment needs, while the closet facility offers ample storage space for belongings. This design approach not only maintains consistency across both room types but also provides guests with a delightful and comfortable environment, whether they opt for the single bedroom with a king-size bed or the twinbed room with its own unique charm.

DOUBLE BED ROOM

To maintain consistency and a e s t h e t i c c o h e r e n c e , I ' v e meticulously coordinated the TV console design with both the wall and ceiling motifs, ensuring a sense of unity within the space. This coordination culminates in the inclusion of a gracefully curved mirror, further echoing the design elements of the wall and ceiling, thereby enveloping the room in a captivating and immersive environment that resonates with the essence of "Jungle Safari.”

I was tasked with creating a 3D model of the cinema hall in SketchUp, using the provided structural drawings as a reference. Leveraging the detailed plans, I meticulously translated the two-dimensional design into a threedimensional representation, ensuring accuracy and precision. This involved recreating the inclined beams, sloped slabs, columns, and isolated footings to replicate the tiered seating arrangement, optimizing sightlines and aesthetics as per the original design

In the illustrated cinema hall structure, a comprehensive integration of beams, slabs, columns, and footings can be observed This structura design ingeniously incorporate sloped or inclined elements to form tiered seating arrangements meticulously crafted to ensur unobstructed sightlines of the screen from multiple vantage points within the hall. Of paramount importance in this design are the inclined beams, serving as pivotal load-bearin components that shoulder the weight of the upper tiers and efcientl channel it into the foundation. These beams exhibit a strategically stepped conguration, thoughtfully mirroring the contours of the seating layout. Concurrently, the slabs, which serve as the ooring for each tier, are also inclined to harmonize with the seating slope, thus not only optimizing the audience's line of sight but als elevating the cinema hall's overall aesthetic appeal. It's noteworthy that these beams boast dimensions of 12” X 17” in height, encompassing the plinth beam's size. Furthermore, t support this innovative design isolated footings of varying lengths and depths have been astutel incorporated, ensuring structura s t a b i l i t y a n d s a f e t y w h i l e accommodating the cinema hall's unique architectural requirements.
