SABU

Design Concept

• Massing and Program Distribution: The design organizes a 2,080 sq ft total built-up area across a sprawling ground floor ($125.96 m^{2}$) and a compact upper level ($67.28 m^{2}$) sitting on a 193.24 m^{2} plot (approximately 37.5 cents).

• Hierarchy of Public vs. Private Zones: The ground floor establishes a clear separation between formal reception and private family spaces, featuring a dedicated Drawing Room ($6.48 \times 3.48$) at the front alongside multiple ground-level bedrooms.

• Functional Service Integration: Dedicated utility zones, multi-point W/C facilities, and a streamlined kitchen layout ($2.70 \times 2.94$) are configured to support heavy domestic workflow and ease of mechanical services routing.

Spatial Orientations & Site Alignment

• Solar and Wind Alignment: The inclusion of a directional compass rose (North, South, East, West) allows the structural layout to be tuned to local climatic conditions, optimizing facade exposure for cross-ventilation and managing tropical sun paths.

• Vertical and Horizontal Circulation: Circulation paths flow organically from the entrance Sit-out ($3.24 \times 1.38$) through the central living and dining corridors, linking directly to the internal stair core that feeds into the upper-level living space and Balcony ($3.24 \times 1.26$).

• Fenestration Strategy: A comprehensive distribution of architectural window and ventilator placements (W2, W3, V) along the perimeter ensures balanced daylight penetration and continuous thermal relief across deep floor plates.
