A person with leader quality attracts people to follow. The space with the leading character gathers
space that relates to it and forms a group. Example 2 relation between principle office, manager’s
office, waiting area, ATM area, personal banking area, living room.

Grouping
People gather for certain purpose, same objective, interest or goal. Copying the same the spaces
that carry the same grouping character gather as a group
� There should be shortening up distance between rooms.
� In grouping the rooms should be on the same floor.
� Watcher2dining area, balconies.
Loner
This character affects the space distance from groups from a person who prefer more privacy and
avoids social conversations and stays away from the crowd.
In a residential project some clients may prefer more privacy for their master bedroom. In this case
the loner can keep a distance away from certain spaces – living room, dining room or even other
bedrooms.
Servant
A space that serves other spaces in some way that needs to adjacent to them but prefers not to
appeal usually which is in reality. Servant needs to be near to the master while staying out of sight.
Example 2 a rest room plays a servant character in many projects. People need at times rest
rooms but prefer to be out of sight.
Watcher
This character causes a space to locate inside the boundary of the
project for attractions in the environment.
It is based on human nature that people like to watch or be close to
certain incidence. The attraction can be like different environmental
condition view such as parks, lake, parking area.
This character is useful for many spaces like a waiting space, café
coffee day, dining space and manager office.
Out reaching
The space with this character locates near the entrance or corridor for
many activities that relate to out reaching. This type of space represents
an outgoing or a sociable behaviour like human that can represent a
welcome space or gathering space for a building a living room for a
residential building, a lobby for office building, a waiting area for bank.
Worker
A space that offers supplies to other spaces it is not necessary for
the space with this character to be adjacent to other spaces, but it
needs to be near second entrance or service entrance. The
difference between servant and worker is that the servant does
not need to be adjacent to any entrance a service area usually
have a worker character in several buildings.

Gestalt principle of perception � Gestalt psychology is a theory of brain and mind of the Berlin school. It believes that brain
is holistic parallel with self organizing tendency.
� It believes that human eyes sees object in their entirely before perceiving their individual
past.
� Gestalt psychologist says that perception is the product of complex interaction of various
stimuli.
� Gestalt effect with respect to reorganization of figure is for whole form instead of collection
of simple lines and curves.
� The use of phrase the whole is greater than same of its part.
The concept of gestalt was first introduced in contemporary philosophy and psychology by
Christian Von Ehrenfels. The idea of gestalt has its roots in the theories by David Hume, Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe, Immanuel Kant, David Hartley, E2Ernest mach. It was device in the 20th
century further by the other theorist this principle beginning by the theorist in the year 1886.
The gestalt principle goes into the form of grouping of similar or proximate object at the same time
goes into the research of behaviour thinking and problem solving.
PRINCIPLES OF GESTALT � The gestalt law of grouping
� Law of proximity
� Law of similarity
� Law of closure
� Law of symmetry
� Law of common faith
� Law of continuity
� Law of good gestalt
� Law of past experience
� �
LANDSCAPING
Foundation plant � Like corner plants foundation plants help anchor the
house to the ground.
� The foundation plant directs the eye of a viewer to
the entrance.
� Generally taller plants are placed at the corner with
the height of plant descending towards the entrance.
Entrance planting The plants used like entry way, drive way, or garden way or entry of house. Here the plant
grouping should be used in a same way to invite the viewer to the designated place to the entry.
Borders Grouping of plants used to define a space in the yard or divide a space are called borders.
While placing borders they should be tall, leave spaces between borders to avoid monotony.
Screens � Are grouping of plants to hide or cover unwanted
views of the area.
� Height26’.
� Evergreen plants should be used for screening.
� Deciduous plants.
� Whenever planting plants have the bed either
straight or gradually covering .It helps in maintain
easily and directs the eyes.
Specimen plant � Centre of attention plant.
� It should be used sparingly as they dominate
landscape.
� Accent plant is also like a specimen plant but a little sub tile.
�
�
� �
PLANTS AS ARCHITECTURE � The plants with respect to architecture can perform two roads .They can compliment and
reinforce the existing architecture of the house or structure and they can create outdoor
rooms.
� Trees, shrubs and ground covers can be used to emphasis the desirable architecture lines
and masses of the house.
� Plants can be used to balance harsh
and awkward architectural angles, masses
and materials before actually installing
plants. The designer needs to plan the
location by assessing the desirable and
undesirable qualities of house.
� We can use plants to frame
desirable views of the house. The best
views are not from straight on. The views
to the entrance or windows are more
interesting from an angle as one approach
from a drive or walkway.
� The best part of the house can be to
see through selective framing.
Relationship between landscaping and interior � Landscaping is about enhancing the look of the area around your house.
� Landscaping add to the beauty of the space along with good interiors put together.
� East2The deciduous trees and shrubs shade the east wall and windows in summer allowing
the sun through in winter.
� West2Trees and shrubs to shade west walls and windows.
� North2Use ground cover in front of north facing windows, avoid paving (hard2scape).Plant
deciduous trees and wines to the north. Never plant evergreen trees in the north.
� South2dense planting as wind breakers to the south and south west. South facing courtyard
should be plants with firms, use climbers or pergolas to shade walls and pavings.
� Use low growing shrubs, ground cover or grass to absorb glare.
� Avoid large areas of paving near the home to reduce reflected glare. Shade large areas of
paving with trees and pergolas.
� Wind breaks are most effective when they are located at 90 at the direction of the wind.
� A vertical summered permeable wind break with 50 to 60 densities is generally more
effective than a solid one such as a wall.
�
� �
Elements of design principle � We don’t use plants with core
texture.
� Fine texture.
� If garden is big then take big, short
and too short leaf plants.
Texture
� Associated with sense of touch and
sight. In addition to being rough or
soft texture also describes how one
sees a visual difference.
� Rough texture minimizes difference.
� Plants appear closer and the space
feels smaller and close.
� Coarse texture plants are more dominant and tend to dominate the color and form.
� A fine texture plants have thin leaves, thin stems and they leave a stronger form. They
create a solid hedge.
� Spreading,
� Sprawling2lush green grass,
� Short spikes2asparagus,
� Matt2Australian grass,
� Arch2bougnvillia,
� Upright2Ashok tree,
� Spiky,
� Cascading,
� Irregular2ferns.
By keeping into mind these certain points we do the planning part.
After seeing the site location above parameters I analyze2
� The soil at site it has not good value of bearing capacity.
� Water table of ground at the site is not very high.
� The site is situated in a develops area which is having facilities like in North East direction
there is an educational building nearby Ajmer hospital, Bus stand, Hotel RTDC and utility
service like water supply, drainage, and sanitation gas supply, Electricity.
� The site is located away from Quarries kilns, industrial plant/buildings, emitting smoke,
steam fumes of obnoxious odor, noise or other similar environmental pollutants

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
The main objectives of planning a building are to ensure that the
different components of a building are so arranged that the
occupants can perform desired function with ease and comfort.
Good planning also requires that the entire area available within the building is gainfully utilized,
with minimum area allocated to circulation. The good planning incorporates features like
sustainability of design linking with green homes if we pay attention to these parameters at the
inception stage of the project. We will be contributing towards a better earth and surroundings. For
this we have to keep in mind “Sustainable Development”. It is a development that meets the needs
of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs.
For development to be sustainable it must take account of
social and ecological factors as well as economic ones of
the living and non living resources base and of the long term
as well as the short term advantages of alternative actions.
Proper land use is one of the most effective ways to
conserve ecosystem. Due to increase population land are
scarce so the prices of land are accelerating day by day. So
people cannot afford large piece of land due to high prices
so they are making small houses and they wanted more
productive. They want their surrounding neat so they need to
use of concrete & cement to make�
�
� �
�
the outside area solid due to small piece of land people want to utilize the land
as much as they can and they did not pay attention towards green homes.
This term out bad inter look run one drawback is the outside area as it is made
up of hard escape using cement it absorb more heat of the sun which radiates
into the environment in summer. Then the building external wall becomes heated finally the inside
of the house get heated. The glass also takes the heat immediately and worms the interior
because of this people are bringing about another global2scale change in the atmosphere i.e.
global warming. Global warming will have different effects in different regions. A warmed world is
expected to have more extreme weather and in this situation if we use more hard area the
problem which we across through a problem that it emits more radiations and glare during day
time especially in summer.
To relieve themselves from the heat people most
of the time use Coolers & Ac and they use more
of electricity to cool them and the same happens
in winters it becomes very cold and people use
gadgets like hot air blowers, heaters etc. to warm
them. This again needs electricity we are in turn to
using the non2renewable sources of energy the
electricity too much leading to wastage of it.
We can achieve sustainable development by
adoption of efficient and eco2friendly technologies.
Use of more day lighting into the home with
proper ventilation and using � �
DAY LIGHTING
good type of glass on the window so that they reduce the usage of
electricity and all external wall are constructed so that it reduce glare and
cool the internal climate.
Not only this in the rainy season the situation is more bad the water from the
terrace and ground area all wash off through the drains to the outside drain
and if we pay attention to all the houses as they are all properly cemented
and concreted the water from the ground is completely lost into the drains
and become unutilized we did not contribute to the underground water table which in turn leads to
shortage of portable water i.e. drinking water.
Many people all over the world knowingly or in knowingly cause the degradation of natural
resources which has an adverse effect on the environment. This problem is not only restricted to
one region. Rather it has become a global issue. Improper management of waste leads to several
environment problems, health hazards to human beings, fresh water, marine etc.
A number of measures need to be
taken from the better management
of the water resources are2
� Encouragement to and
improvement in traditional methods
of rain water harvesting and
storage.
� Water conservation
measures in landscape and
garden such as using drip
irrigation.
� Strict measures for
prevention due to toxic chemical in
water bodies.
While designing resident we have
to keep in mind the appropriate
type of material used in the
buildings so that it maintain cost is less, durability of the material is long, weather resistant, easily
available in the local market all the material which is used in the building using according to their
characteristics and property so that it life become longer.
By considering above sustainable parameters we can design our residential project in better and
efficient way.

HOW TO PLAN
The residential design should be planned based on the needs of the person. It has been seen all
human beings requirements & needs to a certain extent are similar, when we see magazines &
books showcasing beautiful images of decorative room people feels happy to see them but Interior
Designing is not so easy, like the attractive image of the book. The design has to be functional so
that the person can feel the space, express him & at the same time enjoy the space. It is also seen
if the number of occupants in our home is less & the space planned in the design is more, at the
same time if the space is planned in such a manner which is activity based & the areas are well
lighted up, more compact and gives a feeling of small space, a person appears more cheerful.
In India we have a climate which is hot & dry throughout the year & the sun shines brilliantly the
whole year, with the winter months being less. It is in this surrounding climate, that residences of a
person will exits. To device a proper Interior Design must see outside building envelope along with
the interior space so that we can achieve the client requirement. I have here utilized more of day
lighting factor while planning. As I said earlier in India the climate is dry & humid throughout the
year & the house is enveloped by this factor so my main consideration has been focusing on
climatology & the building envelope. Apart from this consideration, proper ventilations & at the
same time, approaches to the building entrances, orientation of the plot, along with the building
corners, the floor levels & windows placement. The placement of windows & door were carried out
based on day lighting concept & Gestalt principle of designing.
The building plan is L2shape and building orientation is South West2North East. The axis is South
East2North West. I have segregated my space in served & servant, loner & watcher areas
according to the principles of Louis Kahn.

The main entrance is from the South East side. The first entry leads to ‘Atrium’ and all the rooms
are arranged around centrally placed Atrium. All the external walls are constructed with brick,
cement mortar and thermal insulation materials i.e. cavity wall is constructed so that it reduce
glare and cools the internal climate.
�
� �
�
Large openings are provided to get essential ventilation and large openings are on South West
direction. We used with low2e2emissivity glass so that proper sun light enters into the area and this
type of glass has a capacity to reflects sun rays and it minimize the heat\solar radiation and on
South East direction no direct sun rays is there. Only slant rays enter into the building and only
early morning sun rays enters into the building directly from South East direction. These early
morning sun rays do not have much glare into it. Trees in particular effectively shade and reduce
heat gain. They increase humidity level they also cause velocity difference thereby increasing and
decreasing air speed flow in that direction. Accordingly to the plot from South direction direct sun
rays come into the buildings so we use trees, plants & shrubs on that direction more. In front of the
entrance there is stairs which leads to the upper floor i.e. on North West direction of the building
and after stairs there is to be a secondary entrance which leads to a washing area.
The centrally placed Atrium admits the light inside the building. The building has two external
entry i.e. main entrances. Open space have to be seen in conjunction with the built form. They
allow for free air circulation and increased heat loss or gain “The question is how should they be
and how much should there be?” Atrium plays an important role to modify the micro climate. A
large one allows more of the natural climate of the place to prevail. If the atrium is large so it gains
more heat during the dy. If the ground is hard then much of radiation is reflected and absorbed by
the surrounding buildings. So the ground of atrium is to be soft and green so that then only less
heat radiation is reflected. So I made Atrium with Landscape lawn and have small water body
around the lawn. First floor is raised towards all the direction. The roof of the first floor is flat and
made up of R.C.C. with some asbestos sheets\powder coating on to it or with insulation material
covering laid by white glazed tile and on top floor we put Clare story window for proper ventilation.
Contemporary Style2
The plan forms its various features like windows, doors & furniture style etc. which were untied by
my style. The style which I adopted was “Contemporary” due to ‘less is more’ concept. The style
states various characteristics which give the plan & house the look of that style. This style evolved
from the ‘Modern Art/ International’ style of the 20th century. Contemporary design is oriented
along a strong horizontal2vertical axis from architecture to furnishings. The structure of a space
becomes an integral design component on its own.
The plan which I devised followed these aspects of planning & combining various components
through the style opted. The shape of plan mostly focuses on lines & forms – two essentials of
good design. The whole layout are designed with abundant open space and natural light in
keeping into mind which makes them feel airy and expansive because there is not any clutter.
Everything in my design have square corners and balance the look with a few curves because of
their openness interior�are especially well suited to large scale furnishing, art and accent gives a
flavour of Contemporary Style.�
Common elements found in a contemporary style include
1. Color 2 The foundation is mostly neutral in shades of black, white, brown/beige, and gray.
The overall palette will be dressed up with pops of brighter colors in anything from red, orange, brighter tones of yellowQbasically all colors that are considered bold.
2. Line and Space 2 Geometric, clean lines, high ceilings, very architectural in feeling. Open
spaces with high ceilings and large windows. Typically minimal or no window coverings are common in a contemporary style.
3. Surfaces�2 Smooth and clean surfaces often in natural materials such as wood or stone.
Concrete is also common. Carpets and rugs are simple and soft under foot in natural materials such as wool and jute.
4. Furniture2 Simple in line, texture, and color (bright and/or neutral). Smooth surfaces with
clean edges and line. When considering upholstery think tactile texture and not visual texture. Natural materials are also important when considering upholstery. Cotton, wool, jute, silk, and such.
5. Accessories 2 Less is more. Large pieces that make a statement and not a lot of clutter
are a key.
Why do inspire
Less is more:
Smooth profiles instead of ornamentation, solid or subtly patterned fabrics in lieu of colourful prints, minimal accessories rather than big collections. While it doesn't have the overt warmth of older design styles, it won't cast a chill either.
Sophisticated Neutrals: Cream, white, tan, beige, black — these are the bedrock upon which contemporary design lies. Monochromatic and tone2on2tone schemes allow the lines and shapes within a space to take centre stage.
Open Space:
Contemporary design celebrates what isn't there as much as what is. Empty space takes on an
almost sculptural quality, carved out by the strong architecture. Because of their openness,
contemporary interiors are especially well suited to large2scale furnishings, art and accents.
Unadorned Floors:��
If you're wild for the feel of bare feet on cool tile, you're in luck. Contemporary design eschews rugs and carpeting in favour of sleeker, harder surfaces: bamboo; blond woods such as maple or ash; stone; ceramic. Ebonized planks or dark2stained concrete can ground contemporary rooms (as long as you're prepared to make friends with your dust mop). �
Serious Shine:
Contemporary rooms are nothing if not polished, and that means high2gloss surfaces fit right in Chrome, steel, lacquer, glass, plastic, tile and more all work in tandem to help bounce light around a space. Mix materials for contrast and depth.�
�
High2Impact Furniture:
Contemporary furnishings have clean lines and striking profiles. You won't find a lot of skirts or
slipcovers — even the most tailored versions can look too soft and full. Instead, focus on pieces
that show a little leg.
Centre2Stage Windows
Can you picture tasselled draperies or a balloon valance in this space? Neither can us. Windows
in a contemporary milieu are usually abundant, and they're often left undressed to highlight their
crisp lines and let natural light flood in.
Minimal Accessories:
Remember how we said "less is more?" Eschew eclectic groupings, fussy finds and bric2a2brac;
keep accessories simple, few and well2chosen. In this pared2down arrangement, every piece adds
drama without detracting from the streamlined feel.
Over scale Art
Walls in contemporary rooms don't usually have much in the way of adornment: no heavy
moldings, no plate collections, no family photo groupings. So they're a perfect foil for large works
of art that shine best amid gallery2style simplicity. Canvases should be framed very cleanly, if at
all. Streamlined sculpture, black2and2white photography, glass and prints also work. And if you like
your art a little edgy, it'll feel right at home.
On the basis of all these aspects & consideration I had shaped my main plan for the project portfolio and

CONCLUSION
Residential designing are obviously much freer and much more personal for both the interior
designer and the occupants than other types of interiors. In fact, homes that have been designed
unconsciously by creative occupants without any standard decorative rules are often the most
beautiful ones. Certain planning and functional considerations are constant in any residence, and
constant in any residence, and although these too may be ignored by the occupant who wishes to
be strongly individualistic, they can provide at least basic guidelines.
Today the houses are immensely sophisticated, very technical and use trendy materials. The
increasing availability of computer technology and internet access has ensured that many people
in the developed world; home is the primary place in their world. In design and architecture terms,
the reinvention of the home as work space has implications both for the organisation of space to
an existing set of conditions.
The initial phase of any design process is the reorganisation of a problematic condition and the
decision to find a solution to it. A designer must first see the existing condition of a problem, define
its context and collect relevant data to be assimilated and analyzed. It might be appropriate to be
able to recognize the basic element of from and space and understand how they can be
manipulated of a design concept, before addressing the more vital issue of meaning in design.
Keeping all these consideration in mind I planned a residential space for my client. The planning
process of the house starts with the check list of the client requirements, his likes dislikes & brief
given by him about his dream house. This continued in opting a style to make a cohensive design
& devising a shape for house.
The planning of the house was done based on the client, researches done & “the gestalt principles
of design” which divided the spaces in characters having leader, follower, grouping, loner,
watcher, out reaching, servant, workers etc. qualities & group them according to the served &
servant spaces.
The spaces were then converted into positive spaces by dividing them using “anthropometrics” &
“ergonomics” which deal in providing with standard human body dimensions to cut out spaces
according to the basic dimension of each activity required.
