DESIGN BRIEF: VILLA DESIGN PROJECT

Project Aim:

The project involves designing a Modern Villa for a multi-generational family of six, consisting of
grandparents, parents, and two children, aged 6 and 10 years. The design should prioritize efficient
spatial planning, functionality, and the thoughtful evolution of form. The design must align with
building norms and standards while creating a balanced environment that emphasizes both
aesthetics and practicality.

Objective:

1. Design a Modern Villa: Develop a villa that accommodates a family of six with thoughtful spa-
tial arrangements, user comfort, and functionality.

2. Encourage Exploration: Experiment with spatial planning and site adaptation.

3. Focus on Form Evolution: Transform design concepts into a cohesive architectural expression.

Minimum Spatial Requirements:

 Formal Drawing Hall:

 Informal Living Room:

 Dining Area:

 Kitchen:

 Storage Room:

 Washroom:

 Master Bedrooms (as per requirements)

 Kids Bedroom (as per requirements)

 Guest Bedroom

 Toilets

 Garden/Open Spaces

 Parking for 2 cars

 Parking for 3 bikes

 Office/Workspace
Things to be considered:

1. Plot size: 25mts X 20mts = 500sqmts.

2. FAR = 1.25
3. Marginal Open Spaces:
o Ground coverage is 30% = 150sqmts
o Front/Main road: 6 meters
o Rear Side: Minimum of 3 meters
o Maximum height = 12.5 metres
o Total area+ 20% circulation+ 20% wall area

4. Building norms:
o Ensure that the design follows National Building Codes and local development plan
rules.

5. Anthropometry:
o Human scale and comfort must be considered in all spaces, ensuring ergonomic and
functional designs.

Form Evolution Thought Process:

Students are encouraged to explore form evolution throughout the design process. This involves:

 Conceptual Exploration: Begin by exploring abstract forms that relate to the villa’s purpose.
Consider how geometric shapes, organic forms, and spatial interplay can contribute to the
overall design.
 Mass and Void Relationship: Experiment with the relationship between built spaces (mass)
and open spaces (void), ensuring a balanced flow of movement and interaction.
 Hierarchy of Spaces: Think about how spaces transition from public to private areas within
the villa. The design should consider user behaviour, movement patterns, and visual connec-
tions.
 Materiality and Form: The choice of materials should enhance the form, creating a harmo-
nious blend of texture, colour, and structural integrity.

Documentation and Case Studies:

Students are required to form groups of 7-8 members and conduct case studies on different
architectural styles. The objective is to learn from existing examples and apply relevant ideas to
their villa designs. (Examples of architectural styles)
  Group Work
 Documentation Requirements:

o Drawings: Plans, elevations, and sections

o Architectural Style: Its significance and necessity
o Materials: Traditional or contemporary
o Techniques: Unique construction methods or notable differences from contemporaries
o Spatial Arrangement: Room layouts, volumes, and additional spaces like cellars or terraces
o Key Features: Highlight significant elements such as material use, design techniques,
or ornamentation.
