My name is Hashan, I am a third-year student at Cardiff Metropolitan University studying Architectural Technology. In this project I am a Chartered architectural technologist as well as the Designer/Marketing and I.T. Manager for Iktinus UK. In this project leisure holding (who are unexperienced clients) want us to design them a four-star business Hotel with conference and spa facilities as well as external landscaping and car parking.
Site: Olympic village Cardiff, CF11 0JS
Key issues:
- The proposal designed by me should take maximum advantage of this site and potential views.
- Proposals must demonstrate best practice in sustainable design.
- Proposals must demonstrate high levels of technical competence and understanding.
- The four-star hotel, able to accommodate between 100 and 300 guests
- A double height podium containing all ancillary accommodation
- A tower of around ten storeys containing the guest rooms
- Tower to have at least two protected stairs and be designed for simultaneous evacuation
(The overall detailed architectural form and appearance is left for me to explore but you should not attempt to radically alter the podium and tower concept)
This four-star business hotel is covered in grey mineral fibre decorative cladding as well as having large windows around the building to allow as much natural sunlight as possible. The hotel is 7 storeys with 105 bedrooms, 3 conference rooms, bar, dinning place, and a gym.
Hashan yw fy enw i, rwy’n fyfyriwr trydedd flwyddyn ym Mhrifysgol Metropolitan Caerdydd yn astudio Technoleg Bensaernïol. Yn y prosiect hwn rwy’n dechnolegydd pensaernïol Siartredig yn ogystal â Dylunydd/Reolwr Marchnata a T.G. Iktinus UK. Yn y prosiect hwn mae Leisure Holding (sy’n gleientiaid amhrofiadol) eisiau i ni gynllunio Gwesty busnes pedair seren gydag adnoddau cynadledda a sba yn ogystal â thirlunio allanol a maes parcio iddynt.
Safle: Y Pentref Olympaidd, Caerdydd, CF11 0JS
Materion allweddol:
- Dylai’r cynnig rwy’n ei ddylunio gymryd mantais lawn o’r safle hwn a’r golygfeydd posibl.
- Mae’n rhaid i’r cynnig ddangos yr arfer gorau mewn dylunio cynaliadwy.
- Mae’n rhaid i’r cynnig ddangos lefelau uchel o gymhwysedd a dealltwriaeth dechnegol.
- Gwesty pedair-seren, yn gallu lletya rhwng 100 a 300 o westeion.
- Podiwm uchder dwbl yn cynnwys llety ategol.
- Tŵr tua deg llawr yn cynnwys ystafelloedd y gwesteion.
- Dylai’r tŵr gynnwys o leiaf ddwy set o risiau wedi’u diogelu a’u cynllunio er mwyn gallu gwagio’r adeilad ar yr un pryd.
(Fy newis i yw’r ffurf bensaernïol fanwl a’r golwg cyffredinol ond ni ddylech geisio newid y cysyniad o bodiwm a’r tŵr yn rhy eithafol.)
Mae’r gwesty busnes pedair-seren yma wedi’i orchuddio â chladin ffibr mwyn llwyd addurniadol gyda ffenestri mawr o gwmpas yr adeilad i ganiatáu cymaint o olau naturiol o’r haul â phosibl. Mae 7 llawr i’r gwesty gyda 105 o ystafelloedd gwely, 3 ystafell gynadledda, bar, lle bwyta, a champfa.
