Introduction

In this project, we students have to work in a group of 2 people and find a specific empty land between 900m2 (30m x 30m) – 1200m2 (30x40m) in Malaysia. We have to propose one small construction project that serves one of the following purpose. Purposes such as recreational area, commercial area, industrial area, agriculture area, tourism area and residential area.

To do with this, we students have to study the type of the building development. While learning we have to include suggestions, rationale,

benefits, impacts, analysis, observation, ideas and other relevant information.

We also chose the same site plan and required to propose the same area which is commercial.

Intro duction to our site

Location of our site

Map of the piece of empty land chosen as our site.

Our site is located at Jalan Op 1/5, Bandar Puchong Jaya, 47160, Puchong, Selangor. It is next to the Petron petrol station along with shoplots beside it and next to LDP highway. There is also a university called Binary University next to

the Petron petrol station. To get to this site, you can find it by going to IOI Mall in Puchong as it is close to that shopping centre.

Size of our site

We have decided that we choose the same size of our land. The size of our land is 35m in height and 30m in length. The reason for this is we felt that we should share our land together and but we have different ideas for our buildings on it.

Site analysis and observation of the site

Site Analysis Drawing of my site.

From this site analysis, the sun will face the site from east to west. The wind often blows from the west. The best view to look at this site is the highway, which people can see it clearly while driving through. With this fact, it makes the site more beneficial, which can attract more people to come over there. It also has some good views from the road on the other side of the site, making it easier for people to see it.

Why we chose this type of land?

ICI I FINAL PROJECT

Trash and grass everywhere on the land.

I chose this type of area because I felt that this space is wasted as this space is completely empty. When this land is isolated, people will pollute it, as you can see that there are lot of rubbish and land pollution covering the place. As a part of working in this construction industry, I would highly suggest that this area should be used. I strongly believe that space has a purpose and its own function for us rather than leaving it empty.

Small space at this area, being ignore this place

The reason why I chose this site because this empty land is just right beside the Petron station. Therefore, people who went to the Petron station can drop by and have their breakfast, lunch or even dinner at the fast food restaurant.

My suggestion and proposal

By : Zoe Low

7

ICI I FINAL PROJECT

The type of area I am going to use for this empty piece of land is a commercial area. I felt it is not a very good idea to include other types of areas as this part of Puchong is too noisy for people to spend time there. Not only that, since it is next to the highway, there will be traffic congestion occurring there often. This can disrupt a recreational, residential, tourism, industrial and agricultural area through pollution.

Image of the site with the highway, Petron petrol station and commercial buildings opposite the site.

In terms of the surrounding buildings nearby, this building is well suited there. The buildings that are close to this piece of land are also commercial as there are shoplots, a hotel, restaurants and a petrol station.

ICI I FINAL PROJECT

The type of commercial building I am going to put onto the land is a drive through café. I decided to make this café as it will be built next to the petrol station and the highway. With this way, it enables people to access this café easily by driving through the petrol station to get there. While doing this, they can take a rest stop nearby and grab a bite or a drink quickly.

Rather than using a common fast food restaurant, I would suggest a café for people to drop by. As you can see that there are many other fast food restaurants like McDonalds and KFC nearby especially in shopping centres with drop off areas. Despite the fact that Starbucks or Burger King can be placed there as well, Starbucks too expensive for people to stop by. It is also not common to see a drive through Burger King near a highway. From analysing these facts, a drive through café is more suitable for people to pick up or drop by.

This building will not have its own small carpark as it has a surrounding car park next to this land.

This drive through café will only have one storey rather than two storey. The reason for this is that there are 2 storey commercial buildings nearby. If I made my building have 2 storey, it will block the shops on the floor including the views from its high floors

By : Yeo Kai Wen

After doing the research,I decided to propose this site as commercial area, a fast food restaurant. The commercial area is designed accordingly to the concept of my site that I found. The site is surrounded with the commercial area, which is the office shop-lots and a café called Asia Café Puchong. People come to this café less often due to its location found inside so less people would see it. There's a lot of commercial shop opposite there.

ICI I FINAL PROJECT

The reason why I propose a cafe because I want to make the life easier. Therefore people no need have to U-turn again with buying any foods from the opposite side.

I had studied that commercial is used for commercial activities include the buying and selling of goods and services in retail business, wholesale, financial establishments. In spite of these commercial activities use only a small scale of land, they are also important to a community’s economy.

I had imported some of my basic ideas into my own proposal. My commercial area is a small fast food restaurant. Its height about 2.6m and the site is one storey building height. The reason why I want the site as one storey building height because I want it to make it the same height as the Petron station. In addition, there’s few rows of 2 storey commercial building behind of the site. Therefore, it won’t block the commercial building.

Rationale, Benefits and I mpacts

Benefits

By : Zoe Low

This drive through café will benefit the other commercial buildings nearby. From seeing the surrounding buildings towards the right, there aren’t many restaurants for the citizens to come and eat. Placing this café will attract more people to come to these commercial areas. By doing so, customers will sit inside the buildings and look at the surrounding buildings. Therefore this may likely build up their interests to other shops nearby as I felt that less people will come to these shop lots often.

Also, people who are working in the shop lots beside the café, can take a break by eating or drinking there. Since there is also a hotel in one of the shop lots, visitors who are staying there can come to this café for breakfast.

11

ICI I FINAL PROJECT

Considerable Impacts

However, the commercial areas close to this site is a little bit isolated, as there are less people coming there often. This was seen that most of the shops sell fixtures and housing related products. When this area is mostly empty, it might not be safe for people to wander around those small streets if they move far from the café.

Besides this, if I placed a one storey building there, it may block the shops on the first storey on the other side. Therefore people who are driving through the highway won’t be able to see these buildings clearly as they pass by. Having this condition may cause a conflict between the shop owner and the employees in the drive through café. This is due to the fact that the owners of the shops won’t be able to make business as his or her shop won’t be seen by customers.

By : Yeo Kai Wen

Rationale & Benefits

There are few rationales and benefits based on the site i have chosen a fast food restaurant.

This site will enhance the scenery of the land, because it looks empty if there’s no anything.This fast food restaurant is open for 24 hour, so people can drop by anytime. This site will become more convenient for the residents who live nearby than going to the opposite road of the shopping mall complex. And also, I believe that the addition of a drive through fast food restaurant in this area, which has a large population community, will be a great benefit to them.

Impacts of the project to the surroundings

I think that the impact of the project to the surrounding is there will not have enough parking areas to park, if the fast food restaurant become more popular. I’m worry that the surrounding of the condition will become more serious such as air pollution. Due to the traffic congestion, it happens all the time. Other than that, I also worry about the traffic congestion will cause accident happens.

Site Plan:

By : Zoe Low

Drawing of site plan of my site.

This is my site plan of my building. It will be built on a piece of empty grassland with commercial buildings and a petrol station nearby. It will be connected to the road, Jalan Op 1/5. It is 35m in height and 30m in length.

Sketch Plan

13

ICI I FINAL PROJECT

Sketch plan drawing of my site.

This plan shows the building of the drive through café. It is surrounded by the empty land with a road created around it for people to drive around it.

In this café, it will consist of:

- A large sitting area on the left: It’s where customers would eat and drink.

- A kitchen on the right: It’s for employers to cook

- A staff room below: Employees will able to manage the building.

- A restroom above: To make the customers more comfortable.

Rather than using more lighting in the room, I will create more windows around the building to use light more sustainably. Therefore instead of using more electricity, the employees can use more sunlight instead. The big window on the left, will provide a good view of the highway and lake to provide more leisure to the customers. As forthe windows on the right, it helps the workers to serve food and drink to the people who are going through the drive through.

Since this a drive through café, I will add footpaths surrounding it, which makes it easier for people to walk around it. In this way, people who want to reach the shoplots can walk through the footpaths from the Petrol station,

As for the road, I also decided to connect it to the road (Jalan Op 1/5) next to the shoplots. People who went through the drive through can have the options to go to the other commercial buildings or back to the highway. Since not a lot of people go to these shoplots, I thought of building people

14

ICI I FINAL PROJECT

interests’ of entering them by making this connection. Plus, it may give them the advantage to reach other places, by passing the shoplots to reach other side. In case, if there is a traffic jam occurring on the LDP highway, people can use this as a shortcut to avoid the jam.
