The idea of adding a small canteen space and a dining table near the elevator in an office/residential building, as implemented by Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya - Rasmi MPAJ (Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya), is a brilliant and simple concept with far-reaching social benefits.

1. Fostering Community Interaction:
A communal space encourages residents to socialize and engage with one another. This can help create a sense of belonging and mutual respect among neighbors. When people have a common area to meet, it naturally leads to more interactions, strengthening the community fabric. Casual conversations at a canteen table can lead to long-lasting relationships and create a stronger neighborhood bond.

2. Facilitating Communication and Collaboration:
Such a space is not only for casual meetups but can also serve as an informal spot for discussions and problem-solving. Whether it’s about addressing building-related issues, discussing community events, or simply catching up on daily life, having a designated place for interaction can enhance communication within the building. It’s especially valuable for buildings with many units, where residents may not otherwise cross paths.

3. Encouraging Focused Activities:
Beyond social interaction, the canteen space could also provide a quiet area for focused work or study. This type of setting offers an alternative to the often noisy or confined atmosphere of individual units, especially in high-density urban environments.

4. Preventing Social Issues like Vandalism:
By encouraging a sense of community ownership and pride, the canteen space helps reduce antisocial behavior, such as vandalism or littering. When residents feel connected to their environment and each other, they are more likely to maintain cleanliness and prevent damage. This sense of ownership can lead to better care for shared spaces, which in turn keeps the environment more pleasant and reduces maintenance costs.

5. Supporting a Cleaner Environment:
The presence of a canteen area promotes organized eating habits and waste management. Instead of eating or littering around random parts of the building, residents will have a designated space for dining, reducing the likelihood of food waste or trash being left in hallways or other common areas.

This small architectural addition serves a much larger purpose. It transforms what might otherwise be an underutilized corner into a hub of social interaction, contributing to the overall well-being of the community while preventing negative social behaviors. Kudos to MPAJ for recognizing the power of thoughtful urban design in addressing everyday social and environmental issues!

BUILDING CONTRACT

It's essential to have a contract between the client and contractor when constructing a building. The client should be aware of their rights as well as the contractor's.

While many types of building contracts are available, the PAM Contract is specifically designed for building construction projects. Both parties are required to appoint a contract administrator, who, in the case of a PAM Contract, is the Architect.

The will manage the contract by its clauses to prevent disputes during the project.

Appoint your to avoid conflicts and ensure you understand your rights!

Architectural drawings serve as a crucial medium for conveying design intent to builders and other construction professionals. We provide a visual representation of the proposed structure, detailing its dimensions, materials, and construction methods. To ensure effective communication and minimize misunderstandings, it's essential that these drawings are clear, accurate, and comprehensive. Another project design by Arkitek SahrudinOmar+studio
