RAS203 Project 1 : VILLA MAYA 2-Storey Tropical Retreat House

Assalammualaikum, my name is Muhammad Nuqman Hakim Bin Nasharuddin. For this posting, I'm going to tell and show the journey of our Project 1 which is Villa Maya ( 2-Storey Tropical Retreat House). 

We are required to design a Villa for our client which is Maya Karin

I hope you guys enjoy and steep into this posting as I am. 

Clients Introduction

Maya Karin Roelcke is a Malaysian and German film actress, television host, and singer. Now she is one of the leading and established actresses in Malaysia’s local film industry, she garnered wide recognition from the critics and public for her award-winning and memorable performance in her movies.

Maya Karin also has been passionate about the environment. She is actively involved in various campaigns for environmental and animal protection and often works with the Malaysia Nature Society and World Wildlife Fund (WWF). She also has been involved with schools to create awareness of excessive use and waste of plastic bags and become ambassador and spokesperson for the recycling initiative for the Geological Institute of Malaysia. Maya has been appointed as the ambassador for River of Life. Maya is chosen based on her continuous efforts in promoting the need to preserve and conserve the environment.

 Always being under the surveillance of the media (of whatever she does, and wherever she go) have made Maya looking for a more secluded area in Penang/Port Dickson for her tropical retreat house where she can relax, get inspiration without any disturbance.

Since Maya are also a strong believer in living in a more sustainable house, she wants her retreat house to be eco-friendly, energy-saving, utilizing passive design strategies, comfortable, calming with a natural breeze, and surround by beautiful landscape.

• Landscaping 

• Swimming pool (allowed) 

(these are the basic spaces expected to be included in the design, however, a more elaboration of additional spaces is anticipated)


Project Objective

• To demonstrate knowledge and practice in the process of producing a schematic design proposal for multiple functions and double-layer building;

• To understand the design concept in producing creative ideas;

 • To apply the understanding of the architectural design elements and principles with the appropriate use of forms and clear structural grid approaches to optimize space functions;

• To enhance student’s ability to critically analyzing the common issues of residential development, especially in terms of overall site planning, the end-user needs, and the possible effects of the development to its surrounding;

 • To establish a positive relationship between the proposed design to the existing surrounding environment and other structures to the site;

• To understand the integration between horizontal & vertical circulations;

• To intelligently decide on construction and detailing which reflects the integration of environmentally friendly structures, materials, and services most appropriate for multiple functions and double-layer building with post & beams and short to medium span structures;

 • To apply passive approaches for environmental comfort and energy efficiency by maximizing the utilization of natural ventilation, daylighting, solar shading, vegetation, etc.;

• To develop skills and techniques in manual architectural graphic presentation, with the use of dry, wet, or combination of both dry & wet techniques for coloring; and

 • To apply passive approaches for environmental comfort and energy efficiency by maximizing the utilization of natural ventilation, daylighting, and solar shading in the design.

RAS102, PROJECT 3 “ ISOLATION CABIN ”

Image
There are many terms used for ISOLATION during this pandemic time. The most frequent terms that are being confused are QUARANTINE and ISOLATION.  In medical terms, QUARANTINE may refer to someone has been exposed to a medical issue and may be asked to self-quarantine by staying at home or a certain place under strict guidelines. ISOLATION is define as to individuals who may contract in any situation or exposure to certain issues such as disease and will be put into isolation either in a hospital or at home. This will prevent others from getting sick or in touch with you.  In this project brief however, the ISOLATION CABIN is meant for individual to self-isolate in a cabin preventing others from getting in touch with you. According to Cambridge Dictionary (2020) and Merriam Webster (2020); ISOLATION can be defined as condition of being alone. In addition it is also a condition of being apart from all human beings or of being cut off by wish or circumstances from one...

RAS203 Project 2 : The New CO-OP Kindergarten

Image
Assalammualaikum, my name is Muhammad Nuqman Hakim Bin Nasharuddin. For this posting, I'm going to tell and show the journey of our Project 2 which is The New CO-OP Kindergarten.  We are required to design a kindergarten at Polytechnic Port Dickson for our client which is Polytechnic Port Dickson CO-OP. I hope you guys enjoy and steep into this posting as I am.  Introduction Kindergarten is such a crucial time for young children between age 4 to 6 years old to develop cognitive, social, self-help, and literary skills. This is known as the sensitive window opportunity where children learn skills/knowledge at their best.  Maria Montessori (1870-1952), a famous Italian doctor well-known for her teaching philosophies and principles in education for the young, believed that children were not blank slates, but that they each had inherent individual gifts. It was a teacher's job to help children find these gifts, rather than dictating what a child should know. She emphasized ind...

RAS102, PROJECT 2 “ Back to the Original ” Food and Space Kiosk

Image
Port Dickson/Lukut offers some unique style of architecture. These heritage areas have been a melting pot of different people, cultures, races and religions. The uniqueness of these cities need to be observed and appreciated. Street eatery and food stalls are considered as a part of the traditions in Malaysia over all and more specific in George Town/Port Dickson.  Ergonomics and anthropometrics are the highly technical methodologies which lie behind what we strive to achieve – creating living and working spaces which fit the needs of their inhabitants. There’s science as well as art in architecture. Ergonomics is a scientific discipline which studies human abilities and limitations and applies this learning to improve people’s interaction with products and environments. We’ve all heard about ergonomics in relation to office furniture and other (allegedly) posture-improving accessories, but the science equally applies to building’s design. If a workplace isn’t well-des...
