1. INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT

1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This is the final project for this module.

For this project, we are assigned to

locate a piece of land to construct

something which is beneficial to the

society. Therefore, the name of our

project is “ Taman Mewah”. It involves

the construction of a recreational area with parks for the residences around the area, running

pathway & tracks for joggers, gazebo and pergolas. The project is on the open area of a 50m x

70m ( 3500m2 ) site just located in front of the Subang Jaya LRT Station and above Subang

Parade. The site is currently not in use and it is a missed opportunity to develop a beautiful

location.

The agreement of the project brief is estimated to be signed on 15 June 2015. The whole

construction process is approximately 4 months.

1.2 SITE ANALYSIS

Photos of the site:

�3

Location Plan

This site has been a large vacant space since 200* without any construction or renovation. Hence,

most areas of the site is covered with grass and soil. A site analysis shows that the site is ideal for

the construction plan due to the following reasons:

1. Large enough to occupy large amount of residences.

2. Easily accessible. Residences can take LRT or buses to reach the location.

3. Has good ventilation due to large open space.

4. Has a lot of un utilised space available for new development.

5. Able to provide a healthy and beautiful scenery for the residences around.

6. The topography of the land is flat and smooth.

7. The land is firm with soil but it is muddy sometimes when rain occurs.

8. The microclimate of the sun rises at the east side of the land and sets at the west side of

the land.

9. There is no other recreational area such as open parks nearby the area.

Major buildings around the site:

AEON BIG SUBANG PARADE

SAUJANA RESIDENCY E-Tiara Apartment

Other findings:

1. Residence nearby always access to AEON BIG, Subang Parade or Subang Avenue for

shopping and spending leisure time.

2. There are a few residency around the suggested site such as Saujana Residency, Subang

Avenue, E-Tiara & Casa Tiara Condominium.

3. Large carpark in front of Subang Parade.

4. Low frequency of traffic jam will occur on the roads at the location of the site.

Transportation:

1. Transportation around the other site that can be used is Subang Jaya KTM which is located right

behind AEON BIG and Subang Parade.

2. There is also a bus stop in front of AEON BIG .

1.3 PROJECT CONCEPT

The project team explored a variety of possible ideas and concepts that could be incorporated in

this construction project after conducting the site analysis. The finished project will be function as a

recreational park and rest area.

The following concepts are combined in this project:

Parks with jogging pathway

A park is an area of open space provided for recreational use. It can be in its natural or semi-

natural state, or planted, and it is set aside for human enjoyment or for the protection of wildlife or

natural habitats. It may consist of rocks, soil, water, flora and fauna and grass areas, but may also

contain buildings and other artifacts such as play grounds and gazebos.

Gazebo

Gazebos are freestanding elements that can be found in park. It is roofed, and open on all sides.

They provide shade, shelter, ornamental features in a landscape, and it is also a place to rest.

Some gazebos in public parks are large enough to serve as bandstands or rain shelters.

�7

Pergola

A pergola is a garden feature forming a shaded walkway, passageway, or sitting area of vertical

posts or pillars that usually support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, often upon which

woody vines are trained. As a type of gazebo, it may also be an extension of a building or serve as

protection for an open terrace or a link between pavilions.

1.4 PROJECT BACKGROUND

This project is taken place in a vacant land in Seksyen 16 Petaling Jaya ( PJS16 ),

Selangor . This area is a residential & commercial area and the number of residents around

here are very compact. Most of the land are used to build apartment, condominiums and

commercial blocks. Hence, this land is proposed for development in order to enhance the

quality of the life of residents nearby . From the site analysis, I am able to conclude that this

residential and commercial area are still lacking of a place for them to gather , relax and

work out. Hence, this project is proposed.

1.5 Project Summary

1. Parks elements such as gazebo and pergola will be built to provide shades and covers

for the residents or pedestrian around, and also as a resting spot too.

2. A few toilets with changing room will be built too to accommodate the residents when in

need.

�8

3. A small water feature will be built in the middle section of the suggested area, in order

to provide enjoyment and some relaxing scenery for the residents.

4. A service centre will be built and function both as reception counter and a convenient

store for the residents around.

5. Garden lamps and benches will be added along the jogging pathway.
