Foundation
A strong foundation is the cornerstone of any building, and for this residential property, the design incorporates a robust foundation system that will ensure the structural integrity of the house. The foundation consists of footings, columns, and tie beams, all of which are reinforced with rebar to handle the loads of the building. The foundation has been designed with specific depths to accommodate the soil conditions and local environmental factors, ensuring durability and long-term stability.
Columns
The building’s framework is supported by a total of 22 columns, which are strategically placed to bear the weight of the structure above. The number and placement of these columns have been optimized to balance the structural needs and the available space. These columns will be reinforced with high-quality rebar, ensuring strength and longevity.
Walls
The walls of the building will primarily be made of 4-inch Concrete Hollow Blocks (CHB), which are durable, cost-effective, and provide good insulation properties. However, some areas of the building, such as load-bearing walls, will use 6-inch CHB for added strength. The combination of these materials ensures a solid and safe structure while maintaining the overall budget and efficiency of the design.
Roof
The roofing system for this residential building will be made from pre-painted rib-type long-span roofing materials, which are widely used due to their durability, ease of installation, and aesthetic appeal. This type of roofing offers long-lasting protection against the elements, while the pre-painted surface ensures that the roof maintains its visual appeal for many years. The roofing structure will also include purlins, trusses, gutters, and flashing, all of which are essential for managing water flow and ensuring the roof’s longevity.
Floors
The ground floor will feature a 100mm thick slab-on-grade foundation, reinforced with 12mm diameter rebar, to provide a solid base for the house. The second floor will have a suspended slab that is also 100mm thick, ensuring stability and comfort for the residents. Both floor systems are designed to handle the typical load requirements of a residential property, and their reinforcement ensures that they will withstand wear and tear over the years.
Stairs
The design includes a set of stairs that will connect the two levels of the house. These stairs will be constructed with solid materials and reinforced with steel bars for added durability. The staircase will be designed with a steel railing to ensure safety, especially for children and elderly residents.
Architectural Design for Two-Storey Residential Building
Ground Floor Layout
The ground floor of the building is designed to maximize the available space while ensuring that each area serves a functional purpose. It will feature a spacious living room, which will serve as the central gathering space for the family. Adjacent to the living room is the dining room, where family meals can be shared. The kitchen will be equipped for daily cooking, and a dirty kitchen/service area will be available for additional food preparation and cleaning tasks.
A guest room will provide a comfortable space for visitors, while a working area will accommodate the needs of homeowners who work from home or require space for personal projects. The open porch provides an outdoor extension of the living area, and the Toilet and Bath (T&B) on this level will be conveniently located for both residents and guests.
Second Floor Layout
The second floor of the building will offer a more private space for the family. The master’s bedroom will include a built-in closet for clothing and storage. A prayer room will be available for quiet reflection, while three additional bedrooms will accommodate children or other family members. The terrace will provide a relaxing outdoor space where residents can enjoy fresh air and scenic views. Another T&B is also located on this level for convenience and privacy.
Doors and Windows
The design features a variety of door and window types to enhance both functionality and aesthetics. The doors will include wood panel doors for the main entry, PVC frame doors for areas that require durability, wooden swing doors for certain rooms, and sliding glass doors for a modern and elegant touch. Similarly, the windows will feature sliding glass, fixed glass, and awning windows, each chosen for its practicality and ability to allow natural light and ventilation into the rooms.
Elevations
The elevations of the building provide a visual representation of the structure from different sides. The front elevation will feature the main entry, including the gates, porch, and the overall aesthetic appeal of the building’s exterior. The rear elevation focuses on the back of the house, with an emphasis on the terrace and secondary entrances. The left and right-side elevations show how the house integrates with its surrounding environment, maintaining a balanced and harmonious appearance.
Sections
The cross-sectional views of the building provide insights into the relationship between various levels and structural components. These sections offer a clear understanding of how the building is organized and how each space within the home flows into the next, ensuring a practical and comfortable living arrangement.
Utilities
Plumbing
A well-designed plumbing system is crucial to ensure that water supply and waste disposal are efficiently managed. The plumbing system for this residential building includes water supply lines, sewer lines, and a septic tank for waste management. Additionally, a catch basin will be included for rainwater collection. The plumbing system will be installed using high-quality pipes, fittings, and fixtures to guarantee durability and effective operation.
Electrical System
The electrical system will be designed to meet the power needs of the house, with layout plans for lighting, power outlets, and fire alarm systems. The wiring will be properly insulated and grounded to ensure safety, and devices such as switches, outlets, and light fixtures will be chosen based on efficiency and aesthetics.
Security
For added security, the building will be equipped with CCTV cameras, a DVR system for recording, and telephone/data outlets. These systems will help keep the property secure while providing the homeowners with peace of mind.
Mechanical Systems
The mechanical systems for the building will include air conditioning units (ACUs) installed on both floors. These systems will be designed to provide optimal comfort in the living spaces, with energy-efficient units to help reduce energy consumption and maintain a pleasant indoor environment.
