Remote Sensing ::
The site seems to be well connected to the road network.

There are many well connected interlocking pattern of intra site pathways following the local contour pattern.

There is thick forest zone between sea line and the site itself adding a buffer aspect to the site.

There is built area to the most of the surrounding of the site Most of the built area constitute significantly to commercial builds like sugar society, Hotel Eden or Hawaii beach resort

There are colonies in the site which are meant for human habitation that can contribute to the valuable exchange in terms of social and cultural prospect, so any type of major visual or physical barrier is to be avoided in design in that direction.

Climate
Goa features a tropical monsoon climate under the Kppen climate classification (is one of the most widely used climate classification systems). Goa, being in the tropical zone and near the Arabian Sea, has a hot and humid climate for most of the year. The month of May is the hottest, seeing day temperatures of over 35 C (95 F) coupled with high humidity. The monsoon rains arrive by early June and provide a much needed respite from the heat. Most of Goa's annual rainfall is received through the monsoons which last till late September.

Soil Type

The types of soil found in Dona Paula ,Panaji

Plinthudulfs
The soils are dark reddish brown in colour with clay subsoil. Large quantities of organic matter contribute to the high clay content, while low availability of iron is due to fixation. It has a property of retaining water i.e., it behaves exactly opposite of sandy soil.

Flora
Main trees are coconuts, cashewnuts, arecanuts, banyan, sugarcane and fruits like pineapples, mangos and bananas.

INFRENCES

In this climate air conditioning will always be required, but can be greatly reduced if building design minimizes overheating
Window overhangs (designed for this latitude) or operable sunshades (extend in summer, retract in winter) can reduce or eliminate air conditioning Minimize or eliminate west facing glazing to reduce summer and fall afternoon heat gain Raising the indoor comfort temperature limit will reduce air conditioning energy consumption (raise thermostat cooling set point) (see Criteria) Traditional homes in hot humid climates used lightweight construction with open able walls and shaded outdoor porches, raised above ground Good natural ventilation can reduce or eliminate air conditioning in warm weather, if windows are well shaded and oriented to prevailing breezes Use plant materials (ivy, bushes, trees) especially northwest to shade the structure (if summer rains support native plant growth)

INFRENCES

Traditional homes in warm humid climates used high ceilings and high openable (French) windows protected by deep overhangs and porches Locate door and window openings on opposite sides of building to facilitate cross ventilation, with larger areas facing up-wind if possible In wet climates well ventilated pitched roofs work well to shed rain and can be extended to protect entries, outdoor porches, and verandas If soil is moist, raise building high above ground to minimize dampness and maximize natural ventilation To capture natural ventilation, wind direction can be changed up to 45 degrees toward the building by exterior wing walls and planting High mass interior surfaces like stone, brick, tile, or slate, feel naturally cool on hot days and can reduce day-to-night temperature swings A whole-house fan or natural ventilation can store nighttime cools in high mass interior surfaces, thus reducing or eliminating air conditioning

INFRENCES

Orient most of the glass to the north, shaded by vertical fins, in very hot climates, if there are essentially no passive solar needs On hot days ceiling fans or indoor air motion can make it seem cooler by at least 5 degrees F (2.SC) thus less air conditioning is needed High Efficiency air conditioner (at least Energy Star) should prove cost effective Screened porches and patios can provide comfort cooling by ventilation and prevent insect problems Keep the building small (right-sized) because excessive floor area wastes heating and cooling energy Use light colored building materials and cool roofs (with high emissivity) to minimize conducted heat gain
