Project Abstract

Abstract
The design of a two-bedroom flat bungalow is a crucial aspect of residential architecture, providing a compact and efficient living space for small families, young couples, or individuals seeking a cozy home. This research project focuses on developing a practical and aesthetically pleasing design for a two-bedroom flat bungalow that maximizes space utilization, promotes functionality, and enhances the overall living experience. The design process involves a comprehensive analysis of the spatial requirements, circulation flow, natural lighting, ventilation, and privacy considerations to create a well-balanced living environment. By incorporating modern design principles, sustainable materials, and efficient construction techniques, the two-bedroom flat bungalow aims to achieve a harmonious blend of form and function. Key elements of the design include a spacious living room, a well-equipped kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms, a bathroom, and storage areas to cater to the daily needs of the occupants. The layout is carefully planned to optimize the use of available space while ensuring a smooth transition between different functional zones within the bungalow. In addition to the interior layout, the exterior facade of the two-bedroom flat bungalow is designed to reflect a contemporary architectural style that complements the surrounding environment. The choice of materials, colors, and finishes is selected to enhance the visual appeal of the bungalow while maintaining a sense of cohesion with its surroundings. Furthermore, sustainable design practices such as passive solar principles, energy-efficient fixtures, and proper insulation are integrated into the design to reduce the environmental impact of the bungalow and improve its energy performance. By prioritizing sustainability, the two-bedroom flat bungalow aims to create a healthy and eco-friendly living space for its occupants. Overall, the design of a two-bedroom flat bungalow requires a careful balance of functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability to create a comfortable and inviting home for its residents. Through thoughtful planning, innovative design solutions, and attention to detail, this research project aims to provide a valuable blueprint for architects, designers, and homeowners seeking to build or renovate a two-bedroom flat bungalow that meets the needs of modern living.

Project Overview

Design is a critical aspect of civil engineering works. Drafting and drawing is essential for building and any construction works. However, efficient and effective erection of bungalows requires design consideration to satisfy the functional requirements of building and code of practice. Moreover, all the living units are on single compartments between the living areas.

According to (Wikipedia.com), Bungalows is a type of building originally refer to any single family unit as opposed to an apartment building which is the norm for middle class city dwellers thus drafting, drawing and design of bungalow is a necessity.

1.5         Background to the Study

Obviously, Bungalow is one of the most common structures both in rural and urban area. Practically speaking, erection of buildings in an environment is as important as in relation to development and civilization which cannot be over emphasized as history testifies that the provision of building is necessary to draw an environment out of the state fo underdevelopment. (Desau, M. et al. 2016).

Nevertheless, although land use plan in this modern world with technological advancement can be use for high-rise structure such as a single storey building having first floor with a stain for light between apartments. The thought of high-rise structure is base on the fact that it can accommodate more people on a small piece of land but still, Bungalow is the most commonest and less expensive to construct. A storey structure without a staircase for flight between apartments is considered to be a Bungalow. (wikipedia.com).

According to Downing, F et al (1981), Drafting, drawing and design of bungalow is necessary for efficient and effective erecttion as the plan serve as a building guide. Drafting and design of bungalows is based on the assumption that the geometry of deformation of section will be coherent under any given types of loading.

In line with the above points, Desai M. et al (2016), ascertain another reason for drafting, drawing and design of bungalows. Geometry deformation is a gesture always side with the basic functional requirements that make bungalows appealing for occupants. Such functional requirement includes weather and fire, resistance, good compressive strength, low cost economic purpose, serviceability state and ease access to an age people etc. these measures make bungalows the most preffered and easiest structure to be occupants.

1.6         Problems of the Study

Problem of constructing an appealing bungalows cannot be over emphasized, Bungalows has a detrimental phenomenon of geometry deformation fo section under any given types of loadings as against the basic functional requirements. This gesture required appropriate design of bungalows to fulfill its intended purpose.

1.7         Research Question of the Study

The following relevant research questions relating to the subject matter were constructed and asked accordingly on an open-end basis to allow for many information as could be divulges by respondents. Such research questions include consideration of building plan under modern design methods. The question includes:

1. Why is preparation of building plan necessary before embarking on any building structure?
2. Should functional requirements from code of practice be a consideration during design of building plan?
3. How does modern design method affect design completion time and cost effective?
4. Does improper design of bungalows be a problem fo geometry deformation?
5. Due to time, cost and stress constraints, should modern design technique be considered as a professional practice?
6. How can professional practice be encouraged?

1.8         Aims and Objectives

1.8.1     Aim

The aim of this research study is to draft, draw and designs two bedroom flat bungalow at Civil engineering department using modern technique as against traditional method.

1.8.2     Objectives

The following objectives shall be met on the course of this research study. They are:

1. The minimize cost, time and stress constraint.
2. To maximize profit in the entire expenditure.
3. To design based on code of practice for bungalow structures.
4. To ascertain the basic functional requirement.
5. To control the geometry deformation to section to structure under any type to loading.
6. Carrying out cost estimate of two bedrooms flat.

1.9         Limitation of the Study

The following parameters are factors that cause limitation of this research study they are:

1. Cost constraint
2. Time constraint
3. Stress constraint.
