Project Description
The design is aimed to provide Sports and Gym facilities to the low income community in the vicinity yet innovative and state of the art. Since the project is owned by the local government the allocated budget was limited. it was nevertheless a great challenge to consider budget as well as time of completion without compromising on design and construction. Another challenge was to get this construction done in the shortest period.
Due to the challenge to complete this project in the shortest period of time no imported materials were allowed to consider. All the base and finishing materials are chosen from the local market which are readily available.
INSPIRATION:
There was no design brief from Client. There were huge requirements from the client to accommodate all the sports facilities within the given land. Equally provided facilities for both males and females. To achieve this it was decided to go for an organic design which could accommodate all the requirements within the given land.
PRODUCTION OR REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY AND MATERIALS :
Local Bricks with RCC Structure. Roofs for Gym and Swimming Pool Area are steel fabricated. Clear and blue tempered glass in windows. The area of glass was carefully calculated to avoid light reflection and thermal heating. Common Areas have mix of ceramic and Natural stone used in the floors. All sporting facilities are provided UPVC floors and wood.
Both Male and Female wings have a common entrance which will provide a less monitoring and more surveillance. Privacy factor is also considered for both genders due to the local social values and culture.
The design is extendable and scalable. interior partitions can be adjusted as per the requirements in future.
