COMMUNITY HALL_PERAK

Frequently we see mini community hall in rural areas, designed with typical layout, bare facade and double pitch roof which totally gave an out dated looks.

We already in millenium era, which our country is going forward towards a developed country. The way our people looking at quality of building design also have to change paralel to the change of living quality and level of intellectuality. We should appreciate a better look of our environment.

This is an example where I did a community hall design in rural area. Basically, the hall is designed for a 50 pax seated and with toilets facility, just like normal hall. What makes the hall design different than others are:

1. Planning
     - Main entry and drop-off point are from the side of the hall intead of from the normal frontage
     - External garden designed as is within the building space
     - Toilets are placed different way

2. Facade
     - Modern design with clear defined lines
     - No overhang pitch roof around building. Replaced with rc. awnings.
     - Featured with ventilation block to allow free breezing through fully open sliding door inside.
