LOCATION: OPEN AREA BESIDE BLOCK E LEVEL 2
PROJECT PURPOSE: REST AREA
NAME OF REST AREA: PARADISE
SITE DIMENSION: 24m x 15m
REASONS FOR CHOOSING THIS SITE:
Our site have 3 different gorgeous views each facing North, West, and East.
But the sad case is that there are no main attractions for the people to come
to hang out in this open area. Which a waste of space as this open area is
quite big , where a lot of activities can be carried out there. Furthermore,
many people also did not notice that this area actually can catch a good
glimpse of the morning sunshine and sunset.

11. OBJECTIVE OF PROPOSAL
1. Our site is located at the end of the blocks and it is lonely with no
attractions, so we would like to create a place to make it more lively.
2. To make use of the space.
3. Create a place where people can hang out and relax.
4. Infront of our site there are no buildings blocking, which provides not
only a good far away view also enable people to enjoy the cool breeze.

12. SITE ANALYSIS
1. Our site located near architecture block where a lot of studios are located
there. Lots of students always stay over for their projects and assignments.
Around that area there are no proper place for the students to relax and hang
out.
2. During night time our site has a great night view, but there are no benches
available for the students to sit and enjoy the view.
3. Level 2 is the main stretch of place where it connects all the blocks
together starting from the grand hall. There are also food stalls and a library

13. along the way. People may get their books and drinks along the way and
then head-off to our rest area and enjoy.
4. Our site is facing north and so the people can enjoy the morning breeze
and sun, later in the afternoon it will be cooling.
INFORMATION ABOUT OUR REST AREA
BUILDING
Our building concept comes from the metal type food container like
those cylindrical in shape. The building is fully made out of glass, and is
fully tinted to prevent heating up of the interior. Although it is tinted
people inside the building can still see through the glass. this rest area

14. we name it PARADISE , as it is in cubic shape. It also a known as a
place of paradise, where people can relax in it.

30. RASIONATE & BENEFITS
There are a few rasionate and benefits based on the site we have chosen to
build a rest area on it.
-The rest area we build is open for 24hours, so people can drop-by anytime
they want.
-As you can see, our rest area is located at a place where there is no rest area
is provided, hence this rest area will be the only one that is available for the
people to use.
-Our rest area is build at a high area and is facing a good view where no
building is blocking. Moreover, our rest area is fully build with glass, this
may give the people a good view of the outside by just sitting indoor.
-although our rest area is fully made out of glass, but it would not caused
hotness inside, as the glass will be tinted and the interior will be fully air-
conditioned.

32. INSPIRATION

40. Inspirations that we get are ideas for the interior and exterior of the rest area.
A lot of them are inspired from tree houses, coffee houses, spiral staircase,
patios and even also glass cubes.
