GENERAL OFFICE AND MULTIPLE WORKSTATION
The design of the general office, like the design of the private office,
requires a knowledge of the basic dimensional requirements and
clearances of the workstation and, where applicable, of the visitor
seating to be accommodated.
The multiple requires understanding the anthropometric considerations
for the planning and design of the general office . The work task zone
must be large enough to accommodate the paperwork, equipment, and
other accessories that support the user.
In no case should this distance be
less than the 30 in, or 76 .2 cm,
needed to provide adequate space
for the chair clearance zone .
The visitor seating zone, ranging
in depth from 30 to 42 in, or 76 .2 to
106 .7 cm, requires the designer to
accommodate both the buttock-knee
and buttock-toe length body dimensions of the larger user.

Minimum space of work
zone is 3.3m2
-
RECEPTION AREA
Proper design of the reception area is critical in communicating an
organization's desired corporate image. Reception spaces are both the first
and last areas with which the visitor interacts and, accordingly, have
considerable visual impact in communicating
that image.
The reception space look attractive, but it must function properly as well The two
most important planning elements in this regard are the visitor's seating area and
the receptionist's workstation or Desk .

CONFERENCE HALL
Conference hall is important part of office which is required to conduct
meetings.
Conference hall consist of different shapes of tables , arrangements and

AUDITORIUM
An auditorium is important area for performing art the aim is to serve the
audiences.
Design Considerations
Layout per applicable building and life safety codes, regulations, and
ordinances .
Allow sufficient distance between aisles for desired quantity and size of
chairs plus end space.
Space rows to allow for proper seat to back clear space..
Allow 1" minimum clearance from either side or rear of chair to any
adjacent side wall, end walls, etc.
Provide adequate sightlines for either sloping or stepped (riser) floor
configurations.
Seating area should be free of obstructions .
To allow for sufficient aisle illumination : Aisle lights are generally located
in the end panel standards at least every other row. Locate aisle light
junction box 6" from the standard .
Provide adequate floor or riser materials for sound anchorage.
Seating capacity
The maximum capacity depend upon the format selected and limitation by
the production. other factor that influence are levels, slightness acoustic
circulation etc.
Size of auditorium
An area of at least 0.5 m2 per spectator is applied. this is derived from seat
width x row spacing of
at least .45m2 per seat + additional
space 0.05m2 per seat.
Length of row
A maximum of 16 seats per aisle.25 seat is
permissible in aisle if one side exit door of
1m width is provided.
-
Proportion of auditorium
These are obtained by the spectator perception and good viewing angle.
a) Good view without head movement, but slight eye
movement of about 30
b) Good view with slight head movement and slight eye
movement approx. 60
c) Maximum perception angle without head movement.
is about 110.
Exit ,escape routes
1m wide per 150 persons
(min 0.8m)
Seat width
Min. width is .45m to .6m
Angle A:
Shifting position to look between
heads in row immediately in front of
spectator and over all other heads.
Angle 8:
Shifting position to look between
heads of two rows immediately in
front of spectators and over all other heads.
-
RULE of THUMB for SEATING AREA :Allow 0.5m2 per Seat, including Aisles and Cross-over. This is
sufficiently accurate for preliminary planning.
ACOUSTICAL TREATEMENT
The minimum standard of sound reduction likely to be required in an
auditorium in a city to protect it against external noise is of the order of 65 dB.
This reduction should be provided on all sides, but
it would be reasonable to make the roof insulation
5-10 dB less provided the building is not unduly exposed to noise from
aircraft in-flight. Surrounding the auditorium with ancillary rooms and foyers is
an obvious and invaluable planning method of obtain the required insulation
against outdoor noise.
The insulation of the internal walls should be adequate to protect the auditorium
from these noise sources and the insulation should not be by-passed by
openings, doorways, etc.
The adequate absorbing surfaces should be provided in the hall to control the
reverberation.
Such areas include rear walls, balcony parapet, concave surfaces etc.
Porous material are used for absorbing the sound .such materials are quilts, wool,
gypsum board etc.
-
EXHIBITION AREA
Art galleries/exhibition area are used for collecting and displaying of
various forms of material evidence.
Nowadays they are considered as a cultural centre'.
The normal human angle of vision starts 27 up from eye level.
For the standing viewer this means that well lit pictures should be hung
10m away with the top not more than 4.9m above the eye level and the
bottom about 70 cm below.
It is necessary to allow 3.5m2 hanging surface per picture, 6-10m2
ground surface per sculpture and 1m2 cabinet space.
Favored viewing space is between 30 to 60 up measured from the point
in the middle of the floor.
Sill height of 2.13 m for pictures and a viewing range of 3.0 3.65 m
for sculpture.

The basic components of any restaurant interior are the chair and the
table. Depending upon restaurant type, menu, service,
'We setting, furniture selection, and degree intimacy required, table size
and overall air space requirements can, and should,
nary greatly.
To eat comfortably one person require a table area of around 20 wide
and 14 deep. This provide sufficient clearance space for adjacent
dinner.
Round table or table for six or eight people diameter 0f 30 40 are
ideal for 4 persons and can also take one or more dinners.
The best utilization of space can
often be arrived at through the
use of templates or scaled models .

The distance between bar and back bar should allow adequate workspace . A
minimum of 36 in, or 90 cm, should provide space for one bartender to
serve and another to circulate behind . A one-bartender operation would
require a 30-in, or 75-cm, clearance .
A 12-in, or 30-cm wide stool on 24-in, or 61-cm, centers,
which is quite common, will allow only less than 5 percent of male users
access to the stool without disturbing the next patron, while a 30-in, or 75-

SURFACE PARKING- (15% of total)
A major consideration in the design of any parking
area is simplicity . The three basic dimensions of
any parking layout are: (1) the length and width of
car stalls, (2) the width of aisles, and (3) the angle
between car stall and aisle. Aisle width is related to
stall width and angle of stalls.

VARIOUS CONSIDERATION.Various consideration kept in mind for designing energy efficient
Building are-
i) Building should be designed and orient according to solar path and wind
direction.
ii) Maximum glazing on north. While recessed windows or shading
devices on east or west side of building.
iii) Provide soft landscape around building and avoid high reflective
road. The external open spaces grass pavers and plants around the
perimeter of the building to reduce glare inside.
iv) Central ,open spaces landscape courtyard that will contribute towards
keeping the building cool during the summer months.
v) Thick vegetation around the building forms good buffer and help to keep
the surrounding shaded and cool the hot winds.
vi) Light colored surface finish should be used.
vii) Use of renewable resources in the form solar panels, solar heaters to
minimize load to non renewable resources.
viii) Terrace garden or use of creepers on the roof to have insulate property
and minimize the heat gain.
Architects can achieve energy efficiency in the buildings they design by
studying the macro-and micro-climate of the site, applying bioclimatic
architectural principles to combat the adverse conditions, and taking
advantage of the desirable conditions. Some common design elements
that directly Nor indirectly affects thermal comfort conditions and
thereby the energy
consumption in a building are

Landscaping
Landscaping is an important element in altering the microclimate of a place.
Proper landscaping reduces direct sun from striking and heating up of
building surfaces.
Landscaping creates different airflow patterns and can be used to direct or
divert the wind advantageously by causing a pressure difference.
Additionally, the shade created by trees and the effect of grass and
shrubs reduce air temperatures adjoining the building and provide
evaporative cooling.
Courtyard effects
Courtyard plays important role in energy efficient buildings as .
at night, the warm roof surfaces get cooled by convection and radiation If
the roof surfaces are sloped towards the internal courtyard, the cooled air
sinks into the court and enters the living space through low-level openings,
gets warmed up, and leaves through higher-level openings. However, care
should be taken that the courtyard does not receive intense solar radiation,
which would lead to conduction and radiation heat gains into the building.
Intensive solar radiation in the courtyard also produces immense glare.
Buildings, as they are designed and used today, contribute to serious
environmental problems because of excessive consumption of
energy and other natural resources.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE BUILDING
Energy efficiency can be achieved in the buildings by Studying and
designing the macro-and micro-climate of the site, applying bioclimatic
architectural principles to combat the adverse conditions, and taking
advantage of the desirable conditions.
-
Orientation
The building should be so positioned on the site that takes it advantage of
prevailing winds. The prevailing wind direction is from the south/ south-
east during summer
East and west openings need much bigger overhangs, which may not be
possible and can be achieved by porticos, or verandas, on these sides or by
specially designed louvers to suit the building requirements.
Materials and construction techniques
Choice of building materials is very imp in
reducing the energy content of buildings.
Reducing the strain on conventional
energy can be achieved by low-energy bldg
With low-energy materials, efficient
structure Design reducing the quantities
of high-energy building materials and
transportation energy. Depending on
the climatic needs proper roof treatment
is very essential.
Finishes
The external finish of a surface determines the amount of heat absorbed
or reflected by it. For example, a smooth and light color surface reflects
more light and heat in comparison to a dark color surface. Lighter color
surfaces have higher emissive and should be ideally used for warm climate.
Hence there is need to adopt various energy efficient techniques in the
building
Use renewable energy systems (solar photovoltaic systems/ solar
water heating systems) to meet a part of building load
Use low energy materials and methods of construction and reduce
transportation energy An architect also should aim at efficient structural
design, reduction of use of high energy building material (glass, steel etc.)
and transportation energy and use of low energy buildings materials.

N
S
Building orientation is a significant design consideration,
mainly with regard to solar radiation and wind.
With careful design, shading and deflecting devices can be incorporated to
exclude the sun or redirect it into the building, just as wind can be diverted or
directed to the extend
desired.
The building should be so positioned on the site that takes it advantage of
prevailing winds. The prevailing wind direction is from the north/ north-west
during summer
East and west openings need much bigger overhangs, which may not be
possible and can be achieved by porticos, or verandas, on these sides or by
specially designed louvers to suit the building requirements.
Planting deciduous trees on the southern side of a building is beneficial in a
composite climate. Deciduous plants such as these trees shed leaves in winter,
they allow the sun to heat the buildings in winter.
Wind breaks are provided in the north and north-east to protect from the winter
winds.
Central open space or courtyard is most pleasant space because it exclude the
winds and trap the sun. it may be covered with pergola or deciduous creepers.
-
CONCEPT
Since the building is located in an I.T sector of mohali, it demands tofulfill all the newest design concepts and services to be incorporated.
The site is flat but very rectangular in shape, which makes it difficultto use the site in its best possible way. Keeping this in mind the
complex has been designed with linkage of several buildings with
diverse shapes and heights through out the site, giving an interesting
skyline to the frontage of the site.
The back side of side consists of residences which are not disturbedby the tall buildings of the complex, instead it provides a view of the
blend of open spaces with water bodies and green areas with the
complex shapes of the structures, giving an urban eco friendly
environment to the locality.
The arrangement of the buildings has been done in such a way that itprovides with a central piazza with fountains and green area, this
area is shaded with a tall building on the south cutting the hot sun of
summers, giving a cool environment to the complex.
The orientation of the buildings could not be kept north-south due toless depth of the site, but this fault has been covered by using bri-
soliel (exterior louver shaped projections), letting in the north light
and cutting the high altitude summer sun.
The overall concept of the design is that the building is a perfectblend of natural environment with urban environment, fulfilling the
requirements of the present era, where there is less space and more
of amenities to be provided.
