hello client, thanks for such a challenging project...
here is a description of the entire project. please i will urge you kindly read through as you will get a better idea of this project.
i went ahead to develop the brief you gave and this is what the design brief is;
CLASSIFIED BASED ON FLOORS

THERE IS A PLAN FOR THE GROUND LEVEL THAT INCLUDES SOME OF THESE
SPACES

CLASSIFIED BASED ON SITE
1. entrance into site
2. driveways
3. parking lot (6 cars in front of the proposed building, 27 cars behind the proposed building)
4. swimming pool (for adults and children, of varying depths)
5. children play area
PLEASE NOTE,
- THE WOODEN DECK AS SEEN HERE IN THE IMAGE BELOW, IS AN AD-ON TO PROMOTE A BETTER
FACADE, AND USER EXPERIENCE ON THE PATIO LEVEL, IT IS PROVIDED TO GIVE USERS THE
ABILITY TO WALK OUTSIDE TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING WHILE STILL BEING IN THE BUILDING,
THE WOODEN DECK IS 150mm LOWER THAN THE GROUND FLOOR LEVEL, AND CAN BE ADDED IF WISHED OR LEFT OUT, BUT I STRONGLY SUGGEST ITS USE IN THE DESIGN, IF SELECTED.
- THE DESIGN EXTERNALLY TRIES TO STAY WITHIN THE CONTEMPORARY STYLE AND A MORE TRADITIONAL, YET APPEALING STYLE.
- I AIMED AT PROVIDING ROOMS THAT ARE OF A MODULAR DESIGN AS WELL AS SPACES IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING, BU THE USE OF GRIDS TO GUIDE IN WALL PLACEMENT AND PARTITIONING, WHICH WILL HELP IN THE PLACING OF STRUCTURAL COLUMNS AND BEAMS
- EMERGENCY EXITS PROVIDED ARE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE...
- ENTRANCE IN TO SITE WAS POSITIONED AT THE SEEN LOCATION TO GIVE USERS A BETTER DRIVING EXPERIENCE i.e if it were provided at the other end, where a sort of road junction is, it will be unfavorable
- ROOF PROVIDED ABOVE LOUNGE AND RECEPTION ALONGSIDE THE ATRIUM, IS OF SIMPLE STEEL CONSTRUCTION METHOD THAT CAN BE FABRICATED ON SITE, IT IS SIMPLE AND OF VERY LOW WEIGHT.
- DECKED ROOF OF BUILDING IS PROVIDED IN THE EVENT YOU WANT TO ADD ADDITIONAL FLOORS, SO IT IS ADVISED THAT IF THERE WILL BE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FLOORS, PLEASE MAKE PROVISION FOR THAT FROM THE FOUNDATION STAGE
- MATERIALS FOR SITE FINISH AND LANDSCAPING ARE CHOSEN TO GIVE A MORE NATURAL AND DAY TO DAY EXPERIENCE OF HUMAN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS WELCOMING, NATURAL AND NOT ALL SO ARTIFICIAL.
FOR ECONOMICAL REASONS, I WILL RECOMMEND THAT YOU PROCEED YOUR PROJECT WITHOUT A BASEMENT,AS THE COST OF HAVING A BASEMENT CAN BE EXTREMELY HIGH, BUT IF BY YOUR QUANTITY SURVEY, YOU DEEM IT ABLE TO CARRY ON IN CONSTRUCTION, IT'S FINE AS WELL.
