Elegant House Design of a University Lecturer, in a green environment at Homagama.

 This house is to be built in a spacious green environment at Homagama. The client is a University lecturer as well as a Civil Engineer. Though he is a Civil Engineer, as he is currently engaged in academic work in the transportation engineering, he handed the structural design par to Eng.Isuru S. Amarasena. We have successfully completed the structural design phase at the moment. The Architectural Design was done by "MAARA" led by Architect Uditha Makewita. Actually it is an elegant design and very much similar to a modern hotel.
In the structural design, a certain number of pad foundation and rubble work is proposed along with smaller tie beams as the soil condition was very stiff and hard. The sill levels are maintained aligned all over the house and  structural and stiffener and tie beams were utilized effectively and economically. In order to design the elegant roof, steel columns were proposed to bolted to the concrete beds on the walls and column heads. Transverse steel beams are proposed on the steel columns and Steel Lipped Channels were used to support the roof sheeting. Wooden jacketing will cover the things and increased the architecturally rick look.
