Just Keep Designing

The plans below are snap shots(not all my conceptual sketches) of the process to where my project is up to now.
They read in chronological order.

The plans above is a development form my conceptual design in S1. The entry is brought foward to a more public area.
Communal areas surround the courtyard for additional security.
Atrium space for socialising, gathering and meeting.
Working in section to work out levels, voids and roof form.



The above four sketches are ideas for entry inot the centre and courtyard.
top left - No courtyard, using the old vs new as an entry point.
top right - Stairs are central located, old vs new entry point, open floor plan for overlooking by offices.
bottom left - Cafe opening onto the courtyard, gates to courtyard for after hour security, location of reception
Bottom right - bike storage


Courtyard takes a more organic form and extends into the hotel.
Gates separate private form public functions. 
Street access to clinic for non residence.
circular building form to maintain maximum solar gain.

Internal layout adopts the more free form shape.
Cafe amenities follows the shape of the copurtyard.


ground floor


first floor


second floor

The design so far...



The urban plan is important to highlight the entry but also separate the public from private. 
Using the existing hard surface pattern along with the a more organic pattern flowing from the courtyard will unite yet separate the functions carried on within the centre





Updated vignettes of the entry - stairs - bedrooms(option 1 & 2)
