Traditionally, mixed use developments involve retail, residential units and usually some form of entertainment. 1.02 AIMS FOR THIS PROJECT: The aim is to create a live, work and play in same space surrounded by nature This resulting in reducing of urban heat island effect and smog. 1.03 OBJECTIVE: > To enhance physical and visual interaction and also to reduce isolation > Physical and Functional Physical Integration: © Interconnection of project components through pedestrian-friendly connections, such as sidewalks along streets, interior walkways, enclosed corridors, underground concourses and retail > To create a bridge between nature and architecture > To encourage pedestrian oriented design in mixed-use development. 1.04 NEED FOR THIS PROJECT: Daily activities need to be as close to each other. To fulfil people’s need in that area and to strengthen neighborhood To determine the different aspects of mixed use buildings compared to single use building1.05 SCOPE OF It will offer one of the convincing new image of ar An urban space serving as a center for business, residential activity 1.06 SITE LOCATION: Coimbatore is the 2” largest city (by area and population) in the state after Chennai and a major industrial hub in south India Major commercial spaces, developments, settlements have been happened in central Coimbatore and outer areas are still underdeveloped Coimbatore has faced increasing changes in micro climate due to deforestation and many construction works.Literature Study 2.01.03 BENEFITS OF MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT: Coimbatore City experiencing unprecedented business and population growth and a shift in lifestyle preferences of City users. The value of this type of development for the city and the development is high. 2.01.03.a BENEFITS TO THE DEVELOPERS: * An adaptable building product which, subject to the necessary planning and building requirements contains flexibility to change uses. * The opportunity to offer ‘green developments’ that use environmentally efficient materials and designs, . Quicker take up rates of both residential and commercial/ retail tenancies due to tenants residing and working within the same building creating efficiencies. ¢ A diverse flow of investment from the different uses in the building. 2.01.03.b BENEFITS TO THE PUBLIC: © Increased housing, employment, business and investment choice * Bringing together and integrating different land uses and activities, making them readily accessible in one location © The creation of interesting and vibrant streets through the diversification of activities * More efficient use of public infrastructure 2.01.03.c BENEFITS TO THE ENVIRONME!

Reduction in Crime ( UK studies show Reduction in Crime rate) 2.01.05 DISADVANTAGES OF MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT: © Mixed type of traffic resulting in traffic congestion © Spilling of activities on the roads causing congestion. Environmental pollution & noise pollution. © Very high density sometimes leading to a slum like condition. ‘© If designated parking spaces are not provided for the non-residential uses the customers or visitors tend to park the Vehicles on the streets hence taking away good amount of portion of the carriageway. © Variety of uses increases the pressure on the infrastructure like water, sewerage etc. "ee S JERANI SAHANA | B.Arch 2013-2018] 2601131AR136 Page|7Literature Study, 2.01.06 IS MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT ACHIEVABLE? ‘The processes of city building are initiated and carried out by 3 main sets of interests © Profit seeking private developers * Public authorities + “Voluntary” organizations, groups and individuals They argue that property development occurs within a 3 part framework comprising * The resources for development, derived from both the private and public sectors and the economy generally * The politico-juridical rules which limit the construction of development opportunities © The cultural ideas and values that people hold about what they should built , what they should occupy and what kind of environment they should seek 2.02 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS: The following is a brief summary of considerations for mixed use development in the sectors of commercial, residential, retail and student accommodation. This overview is intended as an introduction only and independent advice should be sought at all times. 2.02.01 COMMERCIAL: The most practical and marketable mixed use developments are those which provide separate entrances, pedestrian and lift access and designated car parking for the commercial portion of the development. | B.Arch 2013-2018] 2601131AR136Literature Study, Trends show that there is limited resistance from residential occupants to commercial tenancies as they are less likely to generate noise and odors and less likely to operate at night. 2.02.02 RESIDENTIAL: Research suggests that the most successful mixed use developments are those which physically separate the commercial or retail components from the residential component. There has generally been a greater level of success with local city workers occupying the residential component of a mixed use development. Owner/ occupiers are more likely to be attracted to high amenity areas. Current residents considered that convenience and accessibility to shops, cafes and restaurants is one of the best things about living in the city, 2.03 DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS: Successful mixed use development features: © Close proximity to economic, high amenity areas and key attractors (retail, recreation and park) * Good access and visual prominence * Designing for pedestrian interaction © Separate commercial and residential entrances 2.04 WHAT MAKES MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT WORK: * Housing that fills an unmet or underserved need © The right type of commercial tenants * Quality finishes and building amenities ee pe aia 2013-2018] 2601131AR136 Page|9Proximity to public transportation ‘tical expansion creates problems of traffic congestion and choking of etc. Horizontal expansion increases transport cost and cost of spatial ~ Population growth Demographic structure Income Housing preferences Housing tax and investment 02 NEED FOR HOUSING: |As population explodes and families become more and more nuclear, the and for houses continues to increase world — over and the price for houses continues to soar, making a house beyond the reach of the masses.

KEY DESIGN PRINCIPLES: Noise attenuation should be addressed primarily through the placement of uses and then the design of the built form. 2.18.07 SITE OR BUILDING: * Consider the level of synergy between different uses as outlined under: ‘Land Use’. Seek to mix uses that have strong synergy * Tailor noise attenuation to the types of uses, the intensity of each use and the proximity to sensitive uses 2.18.08 BUILT FORM: * Design the roof, floors and walls to adequately contain sound and particularly for apartments, allow ventilation (refer to next section on Air Quality) + Use buffers or specialized technical solutions such as acoustic glazing, acoustic insulation, acoustic cladding panels, double-glazing and noise attenuated ventilation systems to solve noise problems that cannot be resolved by the layout of the development * Provide private inner courtyards protected by other buildings or solid walls * Noise attenuation measures within a building must also consider air ventilationLiterature Study, 2.18.09 ARRANGEMENT OF INTERNAL USES: Minimize the noise impact associated with goods delivery, garbage collection and possible ate night noise from restaurant and other evening activities Locate vehicle and pedestrian entrances and exits, roller doors and lifts as far away as possible from noise sensitive areas + Locate noise-tolerant areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and storage areas towards noise sources, and noise-sensitive areas such as living spaces and bedrooms toward quiet areas * Buffer residential uses from corridors and mechanical equipment. Common spaces such as lobbies, community rooms, meeting spaces and nonresidential uses and mechanical equipment areas should be structured with specific wall types capable of handling low frequency noise * In residential spaces, place living rooms of one apartment next to the living rooms of another apartment, and similarly, bedrooms next to bedrooms. 2.18.10 AIR QUALITY: OBJECTIVE: To provide appropriate means of ventilation to enable adequate air quality for occupants and adjacent properties whilst attenuating noise. KEY DESIGN PRINCIPLE: * Consider building and facade design, materials and emerging technologies to attenuate unwanted noise whilst allowing fresh air * Use acoustically attenuated ventilation systems that allow both ventilation within a building and effective management of noise in all habitable rooms in apartments. Examples of systems include ‘Silence ee F ‘S JERANI SAHANA | B.Arch 2013-2018] 2601131AR136 Page|43,Literature Study air’, the Acoustical ‘Aero Pac’ product and exhaust and intake vents located high in the building’s envelope Allow windows that open, provided they are designed to keep out unwanted noise when closed Design buildings to facilitate air movement, such as by creating an open building plan, atriums, internal stairwells, ventilation chimneys and solar-powered fans, Dispose of contaminated air in a manner which does not unduly create a nuisance or hazard to people in the building or other properties. Where mechanical ventilation is used, introduce outside air into the building or apartment and if there is no cross ventilation, then ceiling fans or evaporative cooling must be provided. 2.18.11 VIBRATION TRANSFER: OBJECTIVE: To minimize the potential for vibration transfer between uses. KEY DESIGN PRINCIPLES: * Provide insulation between basement car parks and the uses above, for example, a concrete slab between a basement car park and apartments together with insulation under the floor of the apartments to absorb, any vibration. * Design buildings to provide acoustic seals and appropriate wall and glass thickness in developments where there are licensed or entertainment premises with apartments above.Literature Study, 2.18.12 PEDESTRIAN ACCESS, SAFETY AND COMFORT: OBJECTIVE: To provide occupants and visitors with clear, safe and convenient access to areas within a mixed use development. KEY DESIGN PRINCIPLES: Provide separate access to public and private areas, allowing each area to function independently and providing greater security for all occupants Design buildings to provide casual surveillance of access ways, entries and driveways Provide adequate lighting of all pedestrian access ways, parking areas and building entries. Lighting should be on a timer or movement detector to reduce energy consumption Avoid the creation of obscure or dark alcoves, which might conceal intruders. Provide clear lines of sight and well-lit routes throughout the development, including stairwells, hallways and car parks Where a pedestrian pathway is provided from the street, allow for casual surveillance Vehicular movements are separated whenever possible, and all pedestrian movements are segregated 2.18.13 SIGNAGE OBJECTIVE: To use appropriate signage to identify each use in the mixed use development in 4 manner which respects the scale and design of the building. KEY DESIGN PRINCIPLES: * Integrate signage into the architecture of the building ‘STER ANT SAHANIA TB Ask AIS AATOIAZROINTHr Sy « Apply signage at a scale appropriate to pedestrian level « Clearly display street number and entrance/ egress and design to 4 complement the architectural style and streetscape ] « Place well-proportioned signage on window fronts perpendicular to the shop front below the canopy or at the level of the canopy « Avoid visual clutter 18.14 SUSTAINABLE DESIGN BJECTIVE: To create buildings which are water and energy efficient, and which minimize aste. * Maximize the use of natural light through northern orientation + Ensure the design of windows and shade devices maximizes winter sun and minimizes summer sun + Design the internal layout to maximize energy efficiency © Select building materials that minimize embodied energy « Incorporate insulation and draught proofing © Consider future adaptability in building design * Incorporate passive solar design and natural ventilation * Incorporate green rooves and walls into building design * Design roof forms that can support photovoltaics * Incorporate the capture and re-use of water into the design * Minimize waste produced during building construction * Incorporate waste management and recycling facilities into the building designLiterature Stud: 218.15 ON-SITE FACILITIES AND SERVICES OBJECTIVE: To provide facilities and efficient, comprehensive services to ensure the comfort of users DESIGN PRINCIPLES: « Design buildings so that residential service areas (e.g. letterboxes, with minimal impact on adjacent precincts.
