The document discusses various considerations for residential design including site context, orientation, entrances, approaches, bioclimatic design principles, daylighting, ventilation, wall planes, and openings. It emphasizes designing the home to increase energy efficiency and facilitate living through factors like proper orientation to maximize sunlight, cavity walls for thermal regulation, and natural ventilation. Case studies and local climate data are also referenced to inform an appropriate design for the client's home.

3. Residential Design Should Be Something Which Facilitates Our Living
And Makes Our Life Easier. “Louis Kahn” (Who Designed The Iim
Ahmedabad) Said That Every Space Has Its Own Personality With
Several Spatial Characters That Differ By Projects.
RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
7. A Design Which Refers To The Design Of Client’s Home . The
Objective Is To Create A Design That Fits The Functioning Of The
Client’s Home. So That His Energy Efficiency Can Increase.
CASE STUDY
8. 1. Before Devising Any Plan On The Plot It Is Necessary To Study
The Details About The Site.
2. Location Of The Site, Topography Of Land, Neighboring Areas
And Also To Know The Impact Of Sunlight On A Particular
Plot.
SITE CONSIDRATION
9. To Start With My Project There Are Few Consideration To Be First
Dalt With And Then Project Of Designing Can Begin. They Are
Illustrated In Further Pages.
• Map Of India
• Map Of Rajasthan
• Map Of Ajmer
SITE CONSIDRATION

Location Of India
The Location Of India In The World
Is ‘North-East’ Direction.
Longitude
Latitude
: 68° E To 98° E
: 8° N To 37° N
Climate Of India
The Climate Of India Has Tropical
Monsoon Climate.
11. Location Of Rajasthan
The Location Of Rajasthan In The
India Is ‘North-West’ Direction.
Longitude : 69.5° E To 78° E
Latitude : 23° N To 30° N
Climate Of Rajasthan
The Climate Of Rajasthan Has

World Is ‘North-East’ Direction.
Longitude
Latitude
: 69.5° E To 78° E
: 26°-27° N To 74° E
Climate Of Ajmer
The Climate Of Ajmer Has Hot
Semi-Arid Climate.
MAP OF AJMER
14. Macro Climate Refers To The Climate Of An Geographical Area As
A Whole. Geographical Area Includes Climate Of An Ocean, River,
Mountain, State & Territory Etc.
Ajmer Has A Tropical Desert Climate Which Is Hot And Arid And
The Region Lies Near To The Tropic Of Cancer Line.
MACRO-CLIMATE
16. Micro Climate Refers To A Climate Of A Particular Area Or A
Plot. Micro Climate Includes A Climate Inside A Boundary
Wall.
MICRO-CLIMATE
17. • Construct Cavity Walls To Control The Exterior Temperature.
• Plant More Deciduous Trees Towards The South Side
• Use Low-e-emissivity Glass Towards The South As It Controls
The Direct Sunlight And Heat In The Room.
TECHNIQUES
18. Orientation Refers To The Study Of Directions. It Provides An
Interior Designer To Study The Directions And Use It In His Plan
So As He Can Increase The Working Efficiency And Make A Life
Comfort.
ORIENTATION
20. • Always Use The Compass Before Starting Any Planning
Process.
• From These Get The Proper Directions North, South, East,
West.
• The Orientation Of Residence Should Be North-south As It
Allows More Sunlight In The House. East-west Orientation Is
Not That Effective While Devising Any Plan.
ORIENTATION
24. Entrance Refers To The Main Gate Where A Person Can Enter Into
His Plot Or House. Entrance Also Helps A Person To Know The
Proper Entry And Exit In The Plot.
ENTRANCE
28. Approach Refers To The Way Which Describes The
Interconnection Between The Main Entrance (I.E. Entry From
The Boundary Wall) And The Entry In The House. There Are
Various Types Of Approach.
APPROCHES
34. Bio-climatic Design Is An Attempt To Create Comfortable Conditions
In A Building. It Was Enlarged To Include Landscape, Water And
Waste Nutrients Recovery.
BIO CLIMATIC DESIGN
35. • Place More Windows To The South-west Direction.
• Construct A Rainwater Harvesting Tank On The Plot And
Collect The Rainwater Of The Whole Site Through Drainage
System.
• Construct Cavity Walls In Place Of Exterior Walls Of The
Building Envelope.
BIO CLIMATIC DESIGN
36. Promote The Construction Of Cavity Walls. The Dimension Of It
Are 6” Thick External Wall And Then A Gap Of 5 To 8 Cm Is Given,
Than Another Wall Of 4” Thickness Is Made. These Will Prolong
The Heating Process.
CAVITY WALL
37. The Variety And Range Of Light And Color That We Experience In
Forest Groves Engages All Of Our Senses. Daylight Design Could
Aspire To The Same Inspirational Effect. Day Lighting Can Be
Employed To Conserve Energy And Can Enhance Visibility.
DAYLIGHTING
43. Full-spectrum Lighting: It Helps To Prevent From Rickets, Helps
Keep Skin In A Healthy Condition, Is Responsible For Production Of
Vitamin D In The Body (Thus Reducing The Incidences Of Broken
Bones In The Elderly), And It Destroys Germs.
PHYSIOLOGICAL BENEFITS
44. Ventilation May Be Defined As Supply Of Fresh Air Of Outside Into
An Enclosed Space Or The Removal Of Inside Air From Enclosed
Space.
VENTILATION
50. Wall Planes Defines About The Space Organization Where Space
Organization Includes. Further Planes Are Classified Into :-
1.)Parallel And Vertical Planes
2.)L- Shaped Planes:
3.)U- Shaped Planes
WALL PLANES
53. OPENINGS ARE AN MEDIUM WHICH ARE USED TO INTERCONNECT THE
OUTSIDE VIEW WITH THE INSIDE SPACE. OPENINGS ALSO PROVIDE
NATURAL AIR, DAY LIGHTING AND ALSO A BEAUTIFUL VIEW.
