Architecture and Planning Miscellaneous

  1. 50 Hectare of residential sector has 65% buildable area. The FAR of the buildable area is 1.5. Within the residential sector, 60% of dwelling units are of area 100 m2 each and 40% of the dwelling units are of area 80 m2 each. The gross residential density, in dwelling units per Hectare, would be _______.
    1. 115 to 117
    2. 35 to 55
    3. 75 to 97
    4. 105 to 107
Correct Option: D

Let, N = Total no. of Dwelling units.
FAR = 1.5 (given)
So, Total buildable area = 50 Hectare × 65% × 1.5 FAR = (50 × 0.65 × 1.5) Hectare = (50 × 0.65 × 1.5 × 10000) m2
As per question, 0.6N × 100 m2 + 0.4N × 80 m2 = total buildable area
So, 0.6N × 100 m2 + 0.4N × 80 m2 = (50 × 0.65 × 1.5 × 10000) m2
By solving above equation, we get N = 5300

The gross residential density, in dwelling units per Hectare =
N
= 106
50
