PROJECT 03: HOMESTAY ELDERLY COMPACT HOUSE / ELDERLY RESIDENTIAL DESIGN

This project discuss us to design a storey height within 1, 500 square feet (140 square meter). It is suggested to have at least 3 bedrooms, one room for elderly house owner with 2 guest rooms. The owner's room is suggested to have an attached toilet while another toilet for the usage of the other 2 room occupant. All other functional spaces for a typical house must be designed according to the elder needs.

Plus, add the spice into the design of this elderly house because it is suggested to accommodate a sort of information space. It depend on the creativity of the designer to locate this room as part of the unique house feature. The idea to have this space/corner is to let the tourist in getting some readable information as well as some artifacts in reaction to the Hindu/Buddhist covered ruin located within the site compound in this Kota Aur Village (Kampung Kota Aur).
