ABSTRACT
(his proposal reveals the suggestion to build a sport club for the students and
also outsiders at niversity of #alaya. In this assignment, we are given a site which is
located next to the -arsity +ake and also near to the main road. (here are some factors
which need to be taken in account before start to design a new sport club.
First at all, the purpose and function of the building need to be determined. %e
need to concern on the ma&or functions of a sport club and also its advantages for
niversity of #alaya itself or the occupants including students and staffs. !ext,
appearance of a building also important to be included since the site is located near to
the main road and main entrance /+ gate0. )ther than that, we also need to consider
the amount of occupants can be accommodated and also types of activities that can be
held in the sport club.
Furthermore, the site location and site condition are the most significant
criteria for designing a building. %e need to do the %)( analysis on the site, to get
know well the site condition. For designing a building, we are need to include some
factors that may affect the design and structure of the buildings, for example
orientation of the building, climate change, topography, vegetation, landscape, natural
ventilation and so on. "ence, site analysis is needed before design a building, to make
sure that the design of the building is depend on the site conditions and safe for use.
Before coming out with a floor plan of the sport club, bubble diagram or
spatial plan is needed to be decided. Bubble diagram is very useful for people to
decide the location of different rooms and also relationships between spaces. +ist of
spaces also need to be considered in this very first stage which consist of four types of
spaces such as private, semi private, semi1public and public. Bubble diagram and list
of spaces is the first stage for designing a building.

(he proposed sport club is also designed based on the legislations and
regulations in #alaysia, especially niform Building By1+aws 2345, to ensure the
safety of the occupants and fulfil the re6uirement of a building. In this proposal. (he
design development for the sport club is shown and the final output is explained in
form of details. Besides that, the submission drawing plans for the sport club are
attached to give a clearer imagination on the proposed sport club.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
(he proposal aims to design and build a sport club with floor area 577 metres s6uare
at the propose site, which named -arsity port Club. (he new design is done based on
the re6uirements of legislations and regulations, knowledge of sub&ects that I learnt
before, such as #aterial and Construction (echnology, 8nvironmental 9hysics,
Building +aw and also #echanical and 8lectrical ervices. (he sketch plans are
prepared and attached with the re6uired documents.
1.1 OBJECTIVE

From the figure :.2=:.:, we can clearly see the location of the site which we are assigned to
build a sport club. (he site location is a very good strategy place since it is access to the main
road alan +ingkung Budi0 which is connected with the /+ gate main entrance0 and also
9etaling aya gate main entrance0. (here are also a lot of faculties and residential around the
site, such as Faculty of +aw, first residential, second residential and so on.

%e need to go through the site analysis in order to get more information about the site before
the design process is started. For site analysis. %e need to consider the strategic location of
the site, site condition, current context, accessibility. (opography, vegetation, sun orientation
and so on.

(here is also a lot of existing vegetation at the site. %e will consider this as our building
design factor, so that we will minimi$e use of the green space in order to maintain the green
environment and achieve the environment sustainability. -egetation on the site can supply
fresh air to the people around there as well as for the occupants of a new sport club in future.

Figure 3.6 "ind direction on the site.Source: Author, 2015
un orientation on the site is very important to decide the building location and
orientation. %e need to avoid the building from direct sunlight, so that the
temperature of the sport club will not be affected. For wind direction, it is not
necessary to take in account because they are always different in the time and days, so
actually can be said that the wind direction may come to any angle of ;7 degree of
the site. But, it is possible to consider the wind direction as the building design criteria
with determine the most wind direction along the site in a year.
(he landscape of the site is considered flat althought there is some holes at the
middle of the site. "ence, there &ust need a minor site clearance need to be done and
same as the excavation works in the construction stage. !onetheless, the soil at the
site is considered low bearing capacity soft0 may be due to the -arsity +ake is beside
the site. "ence, during the construction process, the soil compaction process is needed
to make sure the soil can withstand high load bearing, so that the sport club will not
sink in the future. Besides that, there is also a potential problem which the sport club
may face is the risk of flooding although there is a river along the site, ungai 9antai
can somehow function as drainage but the drainage system at the site is not proper
installed yet. In history of #, niversity of #alaya has faced a serious flooding
which is included the proposed site.
!.0 SWOT ANALYSIS
%)( analysis is a study of determining the possible strength, weakness, potential
opportunities and threats of the site. trength and weakness are considered to be the
internal positive and internal negative impacts whereas the opportunities and threats

are categoti$ed as the extenal latent affects on this site. (he %)( analysis for this
building is showed as the table below. By doing this assessment, useful outcomes
such as the strengths and opportunities could be reinforced while the weaknesses and
threars would be improved through appropriate solutions.

7.0 DESIGN CONCEPT
(he figure above shows the location of the sport club on the site which is facing the
-arsity +ake. (he total floor area for the sport club is 577 s6uare metres only because we
need to maintain the vacant green environment. 't the ground floor, there are plant room,
store room, pantry for officers0, office space, meeting room, foyer, lounge space, reception
area, staff water closet, changing room and caf?, meanwhile, at the first floor, there are
gymnasium, two multipurpose rooms and water closet. For the sport club that I have
designed, all the sport activities will be conducted at the first floor and the ground floor is for
reception, light refreshment and also area for people to change clothes.
(here are four different types of spaces at the ground floor which are private
spaces, semi1private spaces, semi1public spaces and also public spaces. From the
ground floor plan, we can see that the flow of the different spaces and there is no
mixing of public and private spaces due to the privacy.

(here is a caf? with total floor areas ;< s6uare metres which consists of a A.<
s6uare metres of kitchen and two of 2.< s6uare metres of water closets. 8stimated
floor area for seating and counter space is 2

space because office space is a private space, so it is not allowed for other people
simply to get in. (here is also a back exit for the building to let people exit or enter
the building and also fulfil the re6uirement of fire safety according the BB+ 2345.
For the first floor, there is only one type of space which is semi1private space.
@ymnasium and multipurpose room are considered as semi1private spaces because the
first floor only for the sport club members and the members share to use.
For gymnasium, there are divided into three different areas which are stretch
area, cardiovascular area and also resistance or free weight area. (he stretch area is
the first and last area to be used, for warming up and warming down, hence it should
located near to the fitness gym entrance to promote its use. (his area will be supplied
with vinyl covered padded floor matting. (he cardiovascular area is supplied and
located next to the gla$ing external wall which is facing the -arsity +ake. "ence, for
those who work out at cardiovascular area such as using treadmills, upper body
ergometers, exercise bicycle and so on, will face the -arsity +ake when they are doing
their exercises. 9eople can en&oy the beauty of the lake and at the same time, they also
can en&oy their exercises. For the resistance and free weight area, such as dumbbell
weights, arm machine, smith machines and so on are located at the behind of the
gymnasium. (he minimum re6uired space is :< s6uare metres. (he gymnasium can
accommodate about ;7 to 57 people and full with exercise e6uipment. For the
multipurpose room, it can be used as aerobic room, dancing room, martial arts room.

;.0 CONCLUSION
(he proposal of designing the sport club is need to be considered in many
considerations and re6uirements which is related to legislations and regulations,
mechanical and electrical services, materials and construction technology, building
services etc.
(o start the design of the sport club, we need to do research about the
background and history of the site. %e need to do the site analysis to observe and
determine the site conditions. Besides that, %)( analysis is need for every design of
building, to identify the Mtrengths, %eaknesses, )pportunities and (hreatsN of the
site. 'fter that, re6uirement and purpose of the building is need to be considered
during design the sport club, such as amount of occupants, functions of the building,
thermal comfort and so on.
During building designing process, we need to consider the re6uirement andregulations of #alaysia. For instance, we need to fulfil the minimum re6uirement for
natural ventilation and also natural lighting of a building which is stated in the
niform Building By1laws 2345. Besides that, minimum re6uirement for area of a
room also need to be taken in account in the designing of the sport club.
'lthough there are some weaknesses and threats for the site, but we can
overcome them by change them into strengths and opportunities of the site. (hus, the
sport club can attract more people to come for recreation purpose and en&oy the nice
scenery view from the building.
