IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS

SITE

Nearest landmark,
opposite to site- Slipin hotel

Due to aftereffects of tsunami , the site was turned into a

barren land in 2007 with no evidence of building space

Private road of 7m adjacent to ECR road,

runs toward the beach

Since the site is sloping towards the beach, with soil

condition to be partly sandy,
water logging on site is avoided

In the current year the site has a variety of vegetation

which includes cashuarina grove, banyan,
palm trees and small shrubs. They tend to act as wind
breakers to the site.
ANALYSIS OVER CLIMATE
Existing vegetation
-plantions increase the vegetative cover
-bind the soil tightly
-acts as barriers to wind, conditions like tsunami and cyclones.
-reduce noise level from the road side
The coast is affected by gales and cyclones during
North East Monsoon while the annual rainfall is 200mm.

7m wide road,

as private access to
the site

Buildings can face N-S direction to avoid

Possibility of gaining a
seclded spot, can be
suitable for swimming
pool
This area is visible from
the road level n from
rest of the contour
intervals
Heat gain probably will be more due to
morning and evening sun
Contour interval of 42m length is suitable
for having space for restaurent or outdoor
activity.
