Various ways in which incrementation can happen when choice given to the user.
CONCEPT
Clubbing the two types to form a double storeyed
higher dense community with a probability of incremen-
tal housing.
Spaces are used by people in varied ways, therefore
when addressing a multitude for
developing their spaces it is required to provide them
with spaces that can be transformed
and used in various ways. A simple solution is to provide
a unit with a small terrace.
thisthis can be modified according to their liking,their occu-
pation.
The spaces must be used its maximum and also should
be multifunction in character.
This is very important as the space of each unit is very
sparce. This can ensure that storage
can be done within the house. Overhead compartments
can be provided for spaces such as
kitchenkitchens, etc. The space below beds can also be used
for storage.

Site Plan.
The initial production target of this particular
factory is doubled after four years. Hence the
future development was taken into consider-
ation while designing the factory.
Importance is given more for functional as-
pects of the design, since a factory is purely
purely dependent on its functional efficiency.
The thesis topic of Yamaha Factory is a live
proposal being constructed at sriperambu-
dur, Chennai. The site measures 110 acres
for construction of manufacturing facilities
for production of Yamaha motorcycles.

hahar, Afghanistan. The master plan consisted of several sets of detailed representations of general layout,
communication plan, electrical, drainage, perimeter, road application, site application and topography

TOPOGRAPHY PLAN
GRADING PLAN
While the topography of the site affecting most of the site detailing aspects, the topography has
been changes to a considerable level to increase efficiency.
The slope percentage had to be specified along with the actual and the design topography of
the site along with the site co-ordinates.
The grading plan had to be worked to change the slopes around
the buildings to properly channel the run-off water to the drain points.
The slope percentage had to be specified along with the actual
elevation and the design elevation of the ground.
The undulations in the site made the design interesting with levels dif-
fering at various points.

The site is located in Goa, India with a scenic nature as its background. Hence, the design intent was to connect with the outside environment as much as possible. This is achieved by providing long french- style windows and using earthy and neutral colours for furniture. Each villa unit is a cluster of 4 apartment units, each having an innate connection to the surroundings.
