Contest Brief
I already have the civil engineer’s structural drawing for a 14 m x 30 m footprint and now need a full architectural package that turns this shell into either four or five self-contained apartments. Both halves of the building must mirror one another, so every circulation core, wall thickness, and opening you propose should respect that strict symmetry.
Second Floor Residential Subdivision1. Site OverviewLocation: Second floor, North side.Dimensions: Approximately $14 \times 30$ meters ($420 \text{ m}^2$).Structural Constraints: Fixed column positions per civil engineering drawings; central access point via the existing staircase.2. Development GoalsThe objective is to subdivide the floor plate into 4 to 5 high-efficiency apartment units while respecting the existing structural grid.3. Unit Mix & Layout2 Large "L-Shape" Units:Position: Spanning the North face and wrapping along the lateral (East/West) walls.Configuration: 3 Bedrooms.Bathrooms: Minimum 1.5 baths.2–3 Small Units:Position: Centrally located or filling the remaining interior/South footprint.Configuration: 1 to 2 Bedrooms.Bathrooms: Minimum 1.5 baths.4. Design StandardsAverage Bedroom Size: $3 \times 4\text{ m}$ ($12 \text{ m}^2$) or $3 \times 3.5\text{ m}$ ($10.5 \text{ m}^2$).Efficiency: Minimize hallway "dead space" to maximize the living area within each unit.Plumbing: Aim to cluster wet walls (bathrooms/kitchens) near structural columns or existing stacks for cost-efficiency.My taste leans toward a clean, Minimalist aesthetic—simple lines, balanced masses, generous natural light—so please reflect that in façade treatments and internal layouts. Within the envelope, allocate space for a shared laundry room that is easily accessible to all residents without disturbing privacy.
Because I still have flexibility on the final mix, feel free to suggest the most practical bedroom count per unit (studio to three-bed) as long as the overall fit is efficient and the mirrored concept stays intact.
Deliverables I expect:
• Scaled floor plans, elevations, and two cross-sections (PDF + original DWG/RVT)
• Basic 3D massing or a simple Revit/SketchUp model to visualise flow
• Door, window, and finish schedules
• A short design brief explaining circulation, HVAC shaft placement, and emergency egress compliance
Please build on the existing structural grid and make sure any new wall or shaft aligns with beams/columns already specified. If you work in AutoCAD, Revit, or ArchiCAD, that’s perfect—just let me know which one so I can prepare matching references.
I’m ready to move quickly once I see a concept that balances symmetry, minimalist style, and practical apartment sizing.
