INTRODUCTIONIn this project, students have to work in a group of 2 to find a specific empty land to initiate a small construction project. The size of the land shall between 50m x 50m (2500m2) – 50m x 70m (3500m2). The site we have chosen is located near the residential and shop lots area to the road of Jalan Permaisuri, Bandar Mahkota Cheras, 43200 Cheras, Selangor, Malaysia.

Site Context

5 | P a g e

Site analysisThe chosen site is located near the residential and shop lots area in Mahkota, Cheras.

The chosen site is a lawn area. The reason of the site was chosen because it has a

strategic location.

Existing Structure

Around the site, it has a role of terraced house, shop lots, a temple and a

condominium.

6 | P a g e

Circulation

By the site plan, there are 3 ways that can reach our chosen site. So that people can

come in by different direction.

Vegetation

There is some natural landscape in the chosen site. It consists of woody plants like trees and shrubs, makes the site closer to the nature.

7 | P a g e

ObservationFrom the observation, there is something we need to remove and restrain. All of the parts of site analysis have their own design issues.

Utility

Lack of traffic lights on the road junction beside the site. Makes it easy for accidents to happen. It is also dangerous for pedestrian crossing the roads.

Circulation

We can come to this site by many ways. Thus, it is a great potential to make accessible to enter the site.

Vegetation

As there are natural landscape at the site, it grows randomly and untidy. It could also hide dangerous animal like snakes. The natural landscape should be remove and rearrange.

ConclusionOverall, it has the potential to build commercial area as it is surrounded by residential area. It will be a place for resident nearby to relax and hang out.

8 | P a g e

Proposal of The Chosen Site Advantages

It is surrounded by residential area, which means there is many people around the

area. It is on a flat land that can built buildings easily without altering the site. The

site also have 3 open sides, providing a wide view and easy access from the residents

nearby. The site also have a good exposure to sunlight, open air and rainfall, which

makes the site suitable for many function. There are a few trees and shrubs which can

be easily removed, so the cost of clearing the site will not be high.

Disadvantages

The site has poor drainage system which need to be improve during the construction

of project. Another thing, the grass on the site needed to be trim as the site has been

bared for a long time.

Rationale

After analysing the site, the advantages and disadvantages, I decided to propose a

food court. The residents here have access to some commercial area, but they do not

have easy access to them. In addition, the commercial area nearby has only a few café

and restaurant in it. There are only a few places for the residents nearby to meet up

and hang out together. There are also only some parking spot for the commercial area

around there, with this new site, I will add in a parking lot for the food court. That

way, it will be easier for the residents to park and eat at the food court.

Benefits

As there are many residential area nearby, such as Taman Temenggung, Taman

Dayang, Taman Permaisuri and a condominium, the food court can provide them a

huge space to eat and meet. Resident around there can come to eat anytime they wish

and with a large variety of food choices all together at a place. Meet up with family

9 | P a g e

and friends is more easy and relaxing as there is a huge parking lot for parking

making residents won’t have to face the no parking problem again. It also makes the

whole area become lively and friendly. Residents can enjoy many kinds of food from

many countries inside the food court and won’t get bored of it. The prices of food in

the food court will always be cheaper than the café and restaurant at the commercial

area. Residents also can enjoy the pleasant scenery with the natural landscapes design

in the food court. The open area gives the resident a break from the reality. It is also a

place for people to increase and nurture their friendship while enjoying meals. The

food court can boost the value of the surrounding shop lots and also residential area

because of the parking lots and variety of foods. The food court tends to attract ever

more investment.

Impacts

The traffic will be crowded when it is lunch or dinner times. Although there is public

parking lot located beside the food court, the food court may be overcrowded in lunch

or dinner hour. There will be less space for parking and eating and will effect the

traffic of the road around the food court. The food court will cause sound pollution

around the residential area with sounds of people shouting and talking. Some parts of

the food court might also be smelly. The construction of the food court will need high

cost for the material as it is a huge food court.

10 | P a g e

Project ProposalAfter my analysis on the empty plot of land in Mahkota, Cheras. There are no

food court nearby for the residents to have a space to gather around, relax and eat. So

I decided to propose a food court as a commercial area for the nearby residents as it is

surrounded by resident area and some shop lots. This can create a harmony

atmosphere for the nearby residents to relax and eat together.

The design is focus on the closeness and relationship between neighbourhood

and friends in a natural environmental and leisure place. I decided to build a food

court for people to have a meaningful relationship with each other while enjoying

their meals. This design is suitable to build inside the residential area. People can

gather every time with their friends or family because it just in the centre of

residential area. This design can makes the residential area becomes lively.

The food stalls inside food court are promoting International food such as

Japanese food, Korean Food, Italian food and mostly the delicious Malaysian foods.

We consist of a huge variety of food around the world and domestic. So the food

court is targeted for people of all ages with many choices of food. The overall style of

the food court will make people to feel refresh and relax after having a meal because

it is an open air food court and based on green design.

Project DetailsOpen Space (Parking Lots)

LAYOUT OF THE PARKING LOT

The car park is landscape with trees, and shrubs. The parking lot is in standard size of

3.5m x 6m. The road for the car park will be around 4m wide which can make 2 cars

passes on the same time. There will be one main entrance on the north- west of the

parking lot (as shown on layout diagram above), as the exit is on the south-east of the

parking lots. The design of the car park uses a circulation system, it is to reduce the

traffic congestion and let the residents to find a parking spot more easier.

13 | P a g e

The car park is grass landscaped. The grass landscape decorates the parking lot and

gives the car park a greener scene. It also brings out some nature element to the

parking lot as the trees and shrubs decrease the pollute of the cars.

Design of the Roof of the Food Court

The pictures shown above will be the design of the roof. The food court will be open-

aired. The design of the roof shape like a 8, it is towards a more modern design. The

roof have a huge hole on the center. People sitting at the center can directly look up to

14 | P a g e

the sky when they are dinning. This makes the food court more close to the air and

people dinning at the food court won’t feel like they are trap in a heat cage, they will

fell more refresh. They can enjoy the scenery of the sky day and night whenever they

like at the food court.

Design of the Entrance of the Food Court

This is the design of all the entrance of the food court. The food court have four

entrance on each row of the food stall. The entrance feature the name of the food

court, it also feature some famous food stall name on the entrance. The design go with

a modern look, with the glass and steel design. There is also plants to make the

entrance feature the green feeling. The entrance feature wood decking, it makes the

overall feel more close to nature.

15 | P a g e

Design of the Inside of the Food Court

The inside of the food court is look like the picture above. The wooden decking is

around the food stall, there is stairs to the wide open area in the middle which is full

with tables and chairs. There are many plants, shrubs and small trees planted around

the food court. They make a good decoration and makes a green environment.

Each food stall has its own unique design based on what they are selling. They will have plants for decoration around them.

16 | P a g e

Layout of the Food Court

The small square on the whole food court represent the layout of the table and chair.

The table and chair arrangement in the food court is arrange freely in the open space

as this will bring more open and relax feel to the food court. The freely arrange table

and chair also match with the open roof concept of the food court. The food court will

feel like fully open-aired.

Furthermore, there will be a water fountain on the centre to become a side attraction

for the food court. Blossom of flower, shrubs and trees will be planted around the

food court as well.
