currently pursuing Bachelor of Science (Architecture) at University Putra Malaysia, for the
purpose of the comprehensive report of the studio’s final project.
I’m sincerely thanks to the studio master, Ar. Aznida Azlan, lecturers, Pn. Ida Suriana Ismail,
Ar. Zamri Ismail, Dr. Wan Srihani Wan Mohamed and Dr Nangkula Utaberta for their
relentless perseverance in assisting students in our unique and interesting ways. Their
endless effort and contribution to the class of ARC 3016 Architectural Studio 6 have
tremendously improved the quality and standard of each individual not only in terms of
technical skills but also in the process of theoretical development. I would never regret on
my choice to having architecture degree in UPM.
Special thanks to the external panels who came and assessed the project for the final
review, their professional conduct and insights are greatly treasured. Their valuable
critiques and comments which in a way resolved most of my design faults and issues in the
process of accomplishing this assignment.
Another big thank you too to my fellow course mates who had undertaking this course for
the company during the ups and downs in studio.
Last but not least, a final note thanks to all who have contributed to this report. The process
of contacting everyone was both an arduous but enjoyable task.

ultimate ‘green city’ – one that would be comprised of more vegetation than if it were left as
wilderness – and the PARKROYAL on Pickering was designed as a hotel-as-garden that
actually doubled the green-growing potential of its site.

Four principles in how green space allocation affects the ecology of flora and fauna:
1. Area effect – the bigger the green area, the easier it becomes to maintain healthy
flora and fauna clusters
2. Edge effect – the smaller the edge the less exposed to the external impact
3. Distance effect – the shorter the distance the closer the proximity facilitates
movement of species and enhances the diversity of plant cluster

Hotel Indigo installed a Mitsubishi City Multi Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) split HVAC
system which utilizes energy recovery units and VRV heat pumps to maximize the
building’s energy performance. These systems are nearly 30% more efficient than the
PTAC (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner) units typically found in hotel guest rooms and
account for a 23% reduction in building energy use, translating to annual savings of
$34,462. The energy recovery units have a payback of just 3.5 years. The HVAC system
also improves indoor air quality and contributes to occupant comfort and well-being with its

6.2.5 Native Landscaping conserving energy and reducing operating costs.
The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa’s grounds were landscaped using native plant species
that can survive in a hostile, high-altitude environment with little or no irrigation. A few
exceptions were made for some very limited areas of sod and annual flower beds at key
entry points. This strategy allowed the property to significantly reduce water use, an
important environmental priority in Colorado. In addition to ongoing water cost savings, the
native plant species save the hotel money in other ways: they require no fertilizer and less
maintenance, and are more affordable to purchase than non-native species. Guests
appreciate the use of native plant species, saying that they come to the mountains to be
surrounded by pine trees and aspen trees instead of plain lawns, which they can find
anywhere.
One hundred solar panels cover the Proximity’s 4,000-square-foot rooftop, providing around
60% of the hot water used by both the hotel and the restaurant inside it. By eliminating over
half its water heating energy use, the hotel avoids using other fuel sources and reduces its

unauthorized access into the structure. Door chains also can be set in place when the
door does not need to be opened.
They can only be touched from outside when the door has been opened, and therefore,
if the locks on the door are compromised, a door chain may cause some delay, draw
more attention, or leave more evidence of force being used when gaining unauthorized
access to the structure. Door chains installed on hollow-core doors, or that are not
anchored into solid materials (such as the wood door frame) do not provide protection.
This is because the chain can easily be defeated by pushing on a door. The chains are
helpful to alert the person inside that someone is breaking through a door. The noise
may be heard by the occupants giving them time to call for help, escape via another exit,
or get a weapon to protect them.
b) Discreet Camera
It’s clock… it’s a smoke detector… it’s motion sensor. The real answer is none of the
above. These are just some of the disguises for covert cameras. Of course, covert
cameras can also be characterized by conventional cameras placed in discreet
locations.
- Security Cameras
Security camera which is known as closed-circuit television (CCTV) use to transmit a
signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television
in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point to point (P2P),
point to multipoint, or mesh wireless links. CCTV equipment may be used to observe
parts of a process from a central control room which security personal in charge. Any
suspicious activities could be detected earlier to prevent any criminal activities to take
place.
c) Infrared Camera
These night-vision cameras have the ability to see images in pitch black conditions
using IR LEDs. In some cases they are for mobile applications. This camera is usually
using in outdoor or basement areas where lack of good lighting is not always available.

released when the sprinkler bulb breaks and water fills the pipe and is discharged at the
sprinkler head.
According to UBBL, the portable fire extinguisher should be located near to exit door and

of the space.
The provision of Automatic Sprinklers (By-law 136) in effect, extends the period within which
occupants can make their way to safety by acting as an early fire extinguishment or
containment system. The ability to contain a fire before it gets out of control is recognized and
consequently, the limits of dimensions are allowed to be doubled to reflect the reduced risks in
sprinkled buildings.

UNIFORM BUILDING BY-LAWS 1984, Legal Research Board, International Book Services,
The design disciplines are varied, but all share the challenges of creating a pleasing design. A 1996
successful design is the result of a series design process. This report is an outcome of the final
project that recorded the development process from initial ideas until the final detailing of the project. GUIDE TO FIRE PROTECTION IN MALAYSIA, Prof. Datuk Dr. Soh Chai Hock, SP-Muda
Printing Sdn Bhd, 2000
The site analysis is the initial steps in the design process after the site visit and the issue of the
project brief. The site analysis is done in group and from the presentation of the site analysis; the BUILDING CONSTRUCTION ILLUSTRATED 3rd EDIRION, Francis D.K. Ching and
personal synthesis is made that contribute to the generation of the design intention. Organized and Cassandra Adams, John Wiley and Sons Publishing Inc. 2001
sequential design process trained student to produce a successful design.
ARCHITECTS’ DATA 3RD EDITION, Ernst and Peter Neufert.
The interimcrit and design consultation are held every week to ensure the students do not drag
behind the design process. The interim crit and consultation helped student to redefine their design
in terms of concept, spatial arrangement, building services and structure etc. Lecturers and tutors
have contributed a lot in student idea development process.
This is the very first project we did study thoroughly the services of the building. The continual study
in this aspect helps me to understand the needs and rules for going not against the law. This has
definitely made my design more user-friendly. I realised that there is a fact that we might need to
consider the building’s services at the early design stage. I am proud that I could come out with a
scheme which I am really satisfied with it. I believe there must be a lot of things to be improved, but
at this stage, I like the design and my ideas of course and I had tried my best within the time given.
This would definitely colourise my design approach in coming projects. Many efforts have been
made in redefining and making the project better until the final outcome as shown in the images
above. This effort will be continuing in the future no matter the project size and scale to fulfil the
responsibility as an architect.
Last but not least, thanks to all of my lecturers and course mates lending your helping hands along
the way to make this project succeed.
