Architectural drawing of residential building

3. Drawing the plot, and giving setback. Given plot size as 18.3m x6m.

NOTE: ALL DIMENSIONS ARE IN METERS

4. Mark the direction N, S, E, W. By rectangle, draw the plot giving dimensions as 6 and 18.3 m.
5. As the orientation is given as East, main door should face East. For living room, give 3m offset horizontally from the West side and size of the room will be 5.5 x 5.5 m.
   6. As per Vaastu Shastra, North-East is favourable for living room and the entrance should face North or East.
6. Same the dining room Again offset 3m from the living wall for dining room. Width will be 2.7m
7. The size of kitchen is 2.7 x2.7 m. Trim for the door opening. According to Vaastu Shastra the ideal position for kitchen is South-west, with cooking place facing East.

10. Size of the bed room is 3m x 2.7m and Draw a toilet of 1.8m x 1.8m inside the bed room.
11. With multiline text, draw the text box, text height as 0.15m and style as Times roman.
12. Place the doors and windows in the respective places.
13. Elevation part the Projecting lines to draw the elevation. Project the wall lines to the top.
14. 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

    
15. Trim off the extension lines and make shutters and panels for doors and windows. For architectural purpose, create some hatches.
16. 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.

17. Using hatch hatch the walls with the bricks hatch and foundation with the concrete hatch.

18. Project the lines from the elevation for the height and from the section line of plan for the horizontal members.

19. Drawing windows, doors and stairs in section. Draw the window and door which we see after cutting the section line.

20. 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.

Layers:

Structural drawings:

1. Column layout : Column of size 0.25m x0.25m is considered. Columns are placed in all corners of the wall and intersection of walls wherever required.
2. Footing Layout: Isolated footing of size 0.5m x0.5m is provided. Then Create a rectangle with dimension 0.5x0.5 m, place the centre of rectangle with the centre of column.
3. Drawing of plinth beam connect the columns by beam of width 0.25m, as the wall thickness is 0.25, Plinth beam is provided below all the walls.
4. Create a layer for beam and put the plinth beam in that layer.

Result:

Architectural and structural plan of a residential building is drawn
