SITE LOCATION

SITE PLANNING REQUIREMENT

Vehicle design - the project is heavily dependent on pedestrian circulation, however, minimal vehicle access is required to facilitate the operation of the building, namely:
- COVERED DROP OFF-AREA - must allow head clearance of at least 5 meters for higher vehicle type
- DISABLED PERSON’S PARKING (2 units) - must connect directly to the main entrance of the building, with suitable wheelchair ramp of 1:12 ratio
- SERVICE ROAD - for the purpose of garbage disposal (truck), loading & unloading from F&B area, other services etc. Should be separated from the main entrance to the Drop Off.
Pedestrian Pathways should be designed to connect the context to the building and from the building to the surrounding area.
Landscape treatment should be designed to allow aesthetic appeal of the site. Existing trees may be removed with valid reason.
SPECIAL OUTDOOR FEATURES As the site has a significantly low amount of visitor due to lack of activity, students must propose an outdoor activity area connected to the building that acts as a CATALYST OF CHANGE to bring in more visitors to the site. This can be in the form of a skate park, an experimental garden area, an extensive playground or water play area, a sensory play area or such. The size of this special outdoor feature is limitless, so long as it does not exceed the boundary line or certain setback line that has been determined.
Existing Parking lots will be used for public parking, hence you are not required to design any new parking space for visitor.
