Pedro Santos Jr. and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- ShareAlike 4.0 International License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/  METHOD 1: AMBF PROJECTION ▪ Determine the AMBF ▪ Determine the BHL (in meters) ▪ AMBF x BHL = Building bulk This presentation is the property of Arch. Pedro Santos Jr. and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- ShareAlike 4.0 International License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/  METHOD 2: FLAR ▪ FLAR : Floor to lot area ratio ▪ Total floor area / lot area ▪ For example, a FLAR designation of 1.50 means that a lot measuring 100sqm may accommodate a building whose total floor area is 150sqm. ▪ In a way, FLAR tells us how many lots can fit inside the building.

Pedro Santos Jr. and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- ShareAlike 4.0 International License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/  METHOD 3: AMVB 1. AMBF x BHL = initial AMVB (“prism”) 2. Superimpose the angular plane originating from the RROW onto the “prism” ▪ Angular plane: a plane originating from the RROW that establishes the outer limit for walls and building projections. 3. Use the angular plane to reduce the volume of the prism. This is the AMVB. This presentation is the property of Arch.
