Building Layouts

The advantage of the second layout are the followings:

• Less congested
• More energy-efficient
• More access to daylight
• Possibility for future extension
• More accessibility
• Better fire safety

1. Figure: Preliminary layout

The concept of the first layout is to minimize the cost of

construction. However, we encountered some problem, that we
dealt with in our optimized layout:
Less daylight comes to several rooms, especially to common 2. Figure: Optimized layout – 1st floor
room
Significant heat loss towards roof
Poor space utilization
Poor fire evacuation
Less accessibility
