Spatial Analysis and Feasibility Study
As shown in the following figures, the proposed project is located in Hamilton Mountain
Area, in the proximity of Latitude 43.24°and Longitude -79.89°, on an open terrain. The
project site faces Fennell Ave to the south, Beckett Drive to the north, Auchmar Road to
the west, Juravinsk Drive to the east. It is within 10 minutes drive to reach highway 403
from the proposed site. The property is rectangular in shape, covers 1350 square meters,
with the length of 45 m and the width of 30 m.
The project is in residential subdivision, Hamilton Ward 8, with a public park to the
North, Mohawk College to the South, St Joseph Hospital to the East, and residential
housing to the West. The majority of the existing housings in the neighborhood are low
rise masonry structures. Personal vehicles are main means of transportation. The public
transit is also convenient in this area.
2.5% design temperature in January is -17°Celsius, wet design temperature in July is
23°Celsius, and annual rain is 810mm.

4. Conceptual Design of Concrete Building
The concrete building is the most significant structure component in the proposed project.
In order that the structural design can be conducted with the most possible accuracy, the
conceptual drawings of the concrete building with proper scales are created to facilitate
the further design process. The selecteddrawings shown below from the drawing
package present the typical layout for the concrete building.
