This presentation aims to help architectural student to apply the site context & planning prior to building design exercises.

2. step-by-step
Get the right synthesis
Set all basic parameters
 Planning Regulations, Setback & By-Laws
 Calculated Assumption & Contextual Relationship
 Massing Study, Circulation & Topography
 Revisit Contextual Relationship
 Work Out Few Options Using 3D-software
 >Fine Tune the Best Option
 Work out Tangible 3D-MODEL
 START THE DETAILED LAYOUT

5. SITE PLANNING
SITE AREAS
= 3 acres = 12,140.57m²
DETERMINE ALL SETBACKS
12m setback from main roads
6m setback from side boundaries
⇒ NETT SITE areas after applying setbacks = 9,438.48 m²

6. SITE PLANNING
SITE AREAS
= 3 acres = 12,140.57m²
Max. plinth area = 70%
⇒ allowable area for building footprint;
= 12,140.57m² x 0.7
= 8,498.399 m²
⇒ literally means, you can design a single story building for a 5,000 - 6,000 GFA

7. SITE PLANNING
SITE AREAS
= 3 acres = 12,140.57m²
Max. plinth area =
= 8,498.40m²
[ASSUMPTION:
add another 12m offset at southwest,
add another 6m offset at northeast
then, follow parallel line of the post office building line]

8. SITE PLANNING
SITE AREAS
= 3 acres = 12,140.57m²
Max. plinth area =
= 8,498.40m²
nett plinth area after applying
additional setback
= 8,455.04m²
[ASSUMPTION:
add another 12m offset at southwest,
add another 6m offset at northeast
then, follow parallel line of the post office building line]

9. SITE PLANNING
SITE AREAS
= 3 acres = 12,140.57m²
Max. plinth area =
= 8,498.40m²
ACTUAL PLINTH AREA FOR
A SINGLE STOREY BUILDING
IS MAX. 6,000m²
[ASSUMPTION:
add another 12m offset at southwest,
add another 12m offset at southeast,
add another 18m offset at northeast]

10. MASSING ASSUMPTION
assuming average building height
is 12’ = 3.6m OR 13’ = 4.0m
⇒ for a 6,000m² with 3.6m height;
your building volume shall be
⇒ for a 6,000m² x 3.6m
= 21,600 m3
⇒ for a 6,000m² with 4.0m height;
your building volume shall be
⇒ for a 6,000m² x 3.6m
= 24,000 m3
[ASSUMPTION:
max. 6,000m²
single storey height]

26. revisit the site context…

27. .. vertical / horizontal alignment
generate actual circulation level…

28. connecting the blocks….

29. set green areas…

30. set green areas…

31. …. & layering building circulation
start connecting spaces…

32. …. all contexts have been connected

33. …. conclusive site planning ready

34. …. perspective from field

35. …. perspective from KTMB Commuter parking

36. …. perspective from POS Malaysia

37. …. perspective from elevated highway (from St John School side)

38. …. all contexts have been connected

39. revisit the site context…
