Architectural drawing of residential building

Plan of the residential building:

Step 2:

• Drawing the plot, and giving setback.Given plot size as 18.3m x6m.Mark the direction N, S, E, W.
• By rectangle, draw the plot giving dimensions as 6 and 18.3 m.
• Give setback from the plot, 4.3m and 3m for the sides.The proposed building should come inside the setback drawn.

Drawing of plan:

Step 3:

• Drawing wallOffset 0.25 m from the boundary after the setback is taken for the wall thickness.

Step 4:

Drawing Living room:

• As the orientation is given as East, main door should face East.For living room, give 3m offset horizontally from the West side.
• The size of the room will be 3 x 4 m.
• Opening for main door is create by offsetting 1.5m from the wall and trim the same.
• As per Vaastu Shastra, North-East is favourable for living room and the entrance should face North or East.

Step 5:

Drawing dining room:

• Again offset 3m from the living wall for dining room.Width will be 4.5m
• Size of dining room is 4.5x 3 m.Create a door opening of 1m on the North wall of living.

Step 6:

Drawing kitchen:

• Offset 2m horizontally from dinning wall and 4m vertically.The size of kitchen is 2 x4 m.
• Trim 1 m for the door opening.
• According to Vaastu Shastra the ideal position for kitchen is South-East ,with cooking place facing East.

Step 7:

Drawing Master bedroom and toilet:

• From the South wall offset 4m and width of 4m joining the kitchen wall.
• The size of bedroom is 4x 4m.Create opening of 0.80 m by offset and trim commands.
• For toilet, draw an offset horizontal of 1.5 m from the Dinining wall.
• Size of toilet is 1.5 x2m.
• North-East should be avoided for toilets according to Vaastu Shastra
• According to Vaastu Shastra the ideal position for Bed room is South-West.

Step 8:

Drawing of Puja room:

• From the Toilet offset 1.5m and from master bed room offset 1m.
• Size of the puja room is 1.5m x1.0m.
• North-East should be good for puja room according to Vaastu Shastra.

Step 9:

Drawing of Bed room with toilet:

• From Living room offset 3m and from dining room offset 2.5m .Size of the bed room is 3m x 2.5m.
• Draw a toilet of 1.5m x 1.5m inside the bed room.
• Trim the excess lines and fillet the corners.
• According to Vaastu Shastra for bed room is North-East good.

Step 10:

Placing Doors and Windows:

• Place the doors and windows in the respective places.

• MD	- 1000 X 2100mm
  D1	- 900 x 2100mm
  D2	- 800 x 2100mm
  D3	- 700 x 2100mm

• W	1000 x 1200mm
  V	600mm x 600mm

Step 11:

Use of Layer:

• Different layers are made and the objects are placed in layers.Click on layer, layer manager dialogue box appears.
• Create new layer button and create the layer for walls, stairs, doors, windows, text, dimension.Insert the respective elements in the layer.

Step 12:

Inserting text:

• With multiline text, draw the text box, text height as 0.15m and style as Times roman.

Elevation:

Step 13:

• Projecting lines to draw the elevation.Project the wall lines to the top.
• Draw a horizontal line.Offset 1 m for the plinth level.Offset 2.1m for the Lintel level.Offset 3.5m for the floor level .Offset 0.6m for the parapet wall.
• Trim off the extension lines and make shutters and panels for doors and windows.
• For architectural purpose, create some hatches.

Sections:

Step 14:

SECTION A-A:

• Project the lines from the elevation for the height and from the section line of plan for the horizontal members.
• Drawing windows, doors and stairs in section.Draw the window and door which we see after cutting the section line.
• Trim off the unawanted lines.

Step 15:

Hatching and layering:

• Using hatch hatch the walls with the bricks hatch and foundation with the concrete hatch.
• Place the windows and foundations in the respective layers and give colours.

SECTION B-B:

• Project the lines from the elevation for the height and from the section line of plan for the horizontal members.
• Drawing windows, doors and stairs in section.Draw the window and door which we see after cutting the section line.

• Using hatch hatch the walls with the bricks hatch and foundation with the concrete hatch.
• Place the windows and foundations in the respective layers and give colours.

Structural drawings:

1. Column layout:

Step 16:

Placing of columns:

• Column of size 0.25m x0.25m is considered.Columns are placed in all corners of the wall and intersection of walls wherever required.
• Now draw the centre line for column from the annotate tab -centre line.
• Now mark the grid line as 1,2 in the y direction and A, B, C, D, E, F in the x direction.
• Create a circle and insert text into it .
• Dimension between the grid lines is mentioned as it is used for marking the columns.
• Make a layer for Column and place the column in that layer.

Footing Layout:

• Isolated footing of size 0.5m x0.5m is provided. Create a rectangle with dimension 0.5x0.5 m, place the centre of rectangle with the centre of column.
• Make a layer for footing and place the footings in that layer.

Plinth beam layout:

Drawing of plinth beam:

• First connect the columns by beam of width 0.25m, as the wall thickness is 0.25.Plinth beam is provided below all the walls.
• Create a layer for beam and put the plinth beam in that layer.

Result:

Architectural and structural plan of a residential building is drawn in a given Plot size. The Oreintation of the drawing is also referred as Facing East Direction.
