The approach to planning of office spaces aim to provide flexibility, functionality and technology that are responsive to the needs and demands of businesses. This is achieved by organizing the office space within a 11.20 M x 11.20 M structural grid that allows flexibility for all types of internal office planning while maximising the car park efficiency in the basements. Central cores provide the vertical connection between office floors as well accommodating the necessary services Centralised planning facilities efficiency in spatial planning as well as energy efficiency By maximising the building envelope available for natural lighting and views we created better work environments
The office buildings are all 22 storied high, within the height limit of 110M stipulated by the airports Authority of India.
Extensive green spaces and lush gardens with water features, sculpture courts, outdoor resting areas and plazas are urban spaces that give a sense of place that people can identify with
• Car parking facilities planned at 5 basement levels.
THE URBAN AMENITIES in the development help to make Nexity an executive hub that emphasizes interpersonal communication and offers the possibility of a better lifestyle, supporting the building of a business community rather than mere physical accommodation for businesses.

• The main corridor which runs throughout the length of the office should not be <1.5m • The gap between two workstations should be 900mm • Enough buffer should be given at the fire exits • Occupancy @ I person/sq.m of carpet area • These plans are done to know whether we are reaching the required occupancy number. Spaces required for the fit out design • Reception - at the entrance lobby • Waiting lounge • A Board room for discussions among the higher officials. • Meeting rooms - with different capacities as per requirement • Cabins - for the director and MDs • A server room - not less than 30 sq.m • Additional spaces like pantry, dining can be included as per the requirements of client
• In multi office floors all the required spaces and rooms should be given separately with respect to the number of offices.

• The floor services like toilets, AHUs and electrical rooms along with the service shafts Lifts For buildings higher than 15 meters, there is a need for a lift a maximum of eight passenger lift bank can be used (with automatic doors and speed sufficient to reach the top floor in 60 seconds), and other requirements as per the Fire Prevention Act and rules of each State As per the NBC 2016, there is a need for a stretcher lift in buildings having a height of more than 30 meters Grouping of lifts in high rise building The max number of lifts in a bank can be 8 The used grouping here is 8 bank lift Thumb rule if the area of the floor is above 3000 sq.m requires a 8 bank lift staircases For high raised structures the min staircase width is 1 5m Stair cases should be placed within a minimum travel distance of 30m and should be pressurized (NBC 2016) 1 unit width of staircase can evacuate 100 people Staircases are designed according to this calculations occupancy / 100 = total width of all staircases The present plan has 4 staircases s1, s2, s3, s4 of widths 1.5m,2m,2m.1.5m Maximum occupancy of any floor in this tower is 530+ Requires width = 630/100 = 6.3 or 7 Given width = s1+s2+s3+s4 = 1.5+2+2+1.5 = 7m

• Centralized is the one with core placed at the center of the tower
• The core • The extended floor around the core Core • Generally preferred cores_ centralized and lateral
Typical floor plan
Service balconies_ 1 per office AHUs
• The edges of the floor will be obstruction free, so there will be a chance of view to each and everyone in the floor
• As the edges are free so there wont be any disturbance for making a clear facade

These shafts run from basement to the terrace pressurization shafts (PRZ) for lifts and staircases

One service balcony should be give to each office for the maintenance and to place additional air conditioning equipment minimum dimensions of 5X2.5m and it should be places at the periphery of the building

The tower is G + 4B + 29F So it requires a 3 banks of lifts roughly dividing 1 per 10 floors
Floors which can be accessed by Low rise lift Floors which can be accessed by mid rise lift Floors which can be accessed by high rise lift
• The mid rise lifts mainly travel between 12 to 22, but starts from ground floor and opens at even floor levels one main reason is for the emergency landing at the immediate level
Refuge area As per NBC regulations, Refuge terraces planned at/ above 24m and thereafter at every 15m along the periphery of the floor and are connected to the fire tower. Refuge terraces can accommodate occupants of 2 consecutive floors @ 0.3 sqm per person. An additional wheel chair area of 0.9 sqm. for every 200 occupants.

Importing the tower core and column grids to the basements along with the ramps and other things like sunken areas.
Understanding the movement in the ground floor
Finding the looping ramps and arranging the parking layouts
• Each compartment should be around 3000 sq.m • Each compartment should have a staircase within its region • These compartmentation is done to plan the required basement exhaust and fresh air fans • 1 pair of exhaust and fresh air fan can ventilate one compartment of 3000 sq.m All these fans should be open in the podium or at the desired location for fresh air in and foul air out 5

•
Offsetting the site boundary by min of 5m and find a practical profile for the basement boundary.
3
• Car dimensions used is 5X2.5m • For this car dimensions the min driveway should be 5m width • 4 Looping ramps are required as per parking consultants
• So each looping ramp is decided at each tower

Identification of additional staircases which run till podium, drawings 30m radius circles from the tower staircases will tell us the areas which are not under the min travel distance, so here the 5 red zones need 5 additional staircases.
Dividing the whole basement into compartments:
4
• Out of which two are double lane ramps and two are single lane Fine tuning the parking by adding additional services like DG room , water sump & pump, toilets, STPs, sub soil wells, MEPs, etc
Typical Section of basement
This sections shows that the clear heights of basements required for the stack parking.
The ceiling slab is done as waffle slab which increases the strength and adds aesthetics to the slab
The final drawing for concept presentation with added vastu constraint services like water sump and diesel generator room This concept is having 1133 cars after adding other required services like toilets, STPs, MEPs, the final car count could be around 1000.
This is the part section done for the project Nexity
The parking type used here is same as in the current project and known as stack parking
A clear floor height of 4650 mm is good enough for different combinations of car types in India.
