A. PROGRAMMING COMPUTATIONS

Room Minimum Area Number of Net Area Tare Area Gross Floor Accessibility Special Design Design
per person (A) Person (B) (A x B) Area Considerations Guideline
Reference
e.g. Public e.g. 0.9 sqm / e.g. 200 people (additional Total Room Public (State here the Book or code
Entrance person space allowance Area spatial needs of reference
for circulation) that area (e.g.
color
psychology,
spatial
psychology,
interior design
requirements,
etc.)

B. SPACE ADJACENCY ANALYSIS

PUBLIC
EXAMPLE: Room 2 Room 3 Room 4
Room 1:
PUBLIC ENTRANCE
Activities
Occupants e.g. General public and
employees
Maximum Demand Load at 250 people
Peak Hour / Maximum Room (Show your computations
Capacity Formula: Finished Room Net
Floor Area / Size divided by the
Area per person in that
particular space as shown in
your programming
computations)
Environmental Characteristics  e.g. Foyer Type
Room
 e.g.Curtain Walls
alongside entrance
 e.g. Provision of
seat-cushioned
benches for
relaxation while
waiting
 Material Choice
(explain its impact
to the user)
 others
Behavioural Characteristics  e.g. People will be
passing through,
stomping dirt and
debris from their
shoes
 others
Special Characteristics  (In here, you will
include special
technologies that
you have integrated
in that particular
room, if possible).
 Room Color
(explain its impact
to the user)
 e.g. Air-conditioned
with air curtains at
the entrance
 e.g. With warm
white lighting at the
help desk for better

Space Adjacencies Adjacent Rooms:
Direct:
Indirect:
Room Area (show computations)
Dimensions (must be in meters)
(for regular polygons)
Sensory Impact:
Visual (identify the bad and good views
of the space / room)
Auditory (identify the noise and good
sound of the adjacent spaces to
the identified space / room and
vice versa)
Olfactory (identify the bad and good smell
of the space / room, its impact to
the adjacent spaces and vice
versa)
Tactile (identify the impact of surfaces
to the space / room)
Potential Problems: (identify the different potential
problems of your room design:
If ever the standard design
guideline is not followed; and its
impact in the future)

*Group all areas according to the zoning: PUBLIC, PRIVATE, SERVICE
