Help me to upgrade this plan
hi, im a final year b arch student currently looking through my options for after graduation. i have seen rather mixed opinions regarding masters, if it is really a career boost or just a waste of time and money. i have always wanted to do masters, but i see a severe lack of diverse post graduation programmes in india, with very limited colleges as well. in the usa/ eu, i see better programmes but the feasibility of going abroad in this economy and political situation seems bad. horrible time to be a student
Hi guys, need some advice from the architects here!
For the past 6–7 years, we’ve been facing a water seepage issue at home because a neighbouring factory raised its floor level, leaving our house at a lower level. During heavy rains, their drains get clogged, and water starts seeping through our walls and cracks. Lately, it’s gotten worse, causing damp walls, peeling paint, damaged plaster, and termite issues.
I’m planning to renovate the house, but since I’ve only recently started working, I’m on a tight budget.
What would be the best and most cost-effective way to fix the root cause of this seepage before starting the renovation? Any suggestions on waterproofing or other solutions that could help?
Would really appreciate your advice! 🙏
Please let me know if you find any criticism.
Site area is around 9800sqft, built up is around 7700sqft
Its a 5bhk luxury House. Budget is within 2cr.
Hi everyone,
We’re planning a new floor/terrace extension over our existing house, with a usable area of roughly 22 × 52 ft. It’s a fairly narrow and long space with some existing structural and access constraints.
We already have two plans from an architect, but neither really works for our requirements, so we’re trying to rethink the layout before construction.
Broadly, we’re looking for:
- 2 bedrooms
- 1 multipurpose room
- Good-sized living + dining
- Medium/semi-open kitchen
- 2 bathrooms(1 attached+ 1 common)
- Utility/washing area
- Some outdoor/winter sitting space
The house is primarily for my parents, so comfortable room sizes, good circulation, light/ventilation and practical day-to-day use matter more than simply fitting in more rooms.
I’ve attached the existing site/structural sketches and the two plans we received.
I’d really appreciate input from architects, architecture students, or anyone experienced with residential planning:
How would you approach this kind of narrow/long layout? Are there fundamentally better ways to organize the spaces and circulation?
I’m also open to paid professional help if someone is interested in taking this up properly. Budget: around ₹15,000 depending on the scope.
Thanks!
Have any of you ever wondered about starting a firm with a partner? Practicing or experienced architects what are your thoughts on this? Can any of you with partners give us the story of how it works or any advice? How do you split things financially - both investment and profit and other things? Who would be an ideal partner? Is it a good idea? I am trying to understand this concept. People who want to start firms or freelancing what are your thought on this?
Looking for feedback on a new build: I have a 3.5-cent plot measuring 31.5 ft x 49.5 ft with approx 1500 sq ft space. The plan is to construct a 2-story, 3–4 BHK villa with a footprint of roughly 800 sq ft per floor, but I am not sure if this is practical. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.
The budget is 50 lakhs.
I would like a master bedroom to be around 200 sq ft with a large bathroom with a tub. Other rooms can be standard or small. Maybe one small room for Mother on the ground floor and one on the first floor. and another room for guests, I guess.
So buying my new house , it feels immensely small , looking any ideas to optimise , floor plan and interiors
Working on a set of working drawings for a villa and confused with a basic checklist.
Would really appreciate if someone has a whole set for reference of how a professional WD set is.
I am planning to buy my ancestors home from scratch.
My current house is 50 year old and weal now and lot of seepage issue.
Please review my design and share feedback on vastu
