CHAPTER 2.0: A Kedai Runcit

'Ello, everyone! We're back with a fresh new chapter which will focus more on architectural stuff, so read through to see what we see.

Plan of the kedai runcit

Our chosen public building is a grocery store, also commonly referred to as the kedai runcit locally. Coming into the building, the first thing you see would be the payment area, display area and then to a more private area consisting of a small TV area, a bedroom and a storeroom.

Elevation of the kedai runcit

The kedai runcit is a detached single-storey building, located off the road at a T-junction (at where we were dropped off, if you remember, if not, refer to Chapter 1.0), beside the local masjid or mosque, which is frequented by locals for typical everyday staples like bread loaves, canned tuna, personal hygienic products etc.

This will be a short post to introduce you to our building, the next one will be on our analysis of the design of the building so keep checking back with us. Thanks!
