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]
12. CHECK UBBL 40
X > 1/6 Perimeter
Vol 7,001-28,000 m3YOUR BUILDING VOLUME
⇒ for a 6,000 m² x 3.6m
= 21,600 m3
7,001 < 21,600 < 28,000
7,001 < 24,000 < 28,000
13. YOUR BUILDING VOLUME
⇒ for a 6,000 m² x 3.6m
= 21,600 m3
7,001 < 21,600 < 28,000
7,001 < 24,000 < 28,000
really?
