This week I continued to develop my floor plans more clearly. I used all the advice I received from my peers and professor to come up with the best layout for each area. After spending so much time on the floor plans and refining the details of how each area would be laid out and set up, I began to think three dimensionally. This 3D thinking turned into several simple elevations of areas. This allowed me to understand what would be going on in each area and how my ideas would be executed and where they would be going.
When refining my floor plans, I looked to my partner’s for advice. Addie looked over my restaurant with me and Alyssa helped me with my hotel rooms and restrooms. Each of them gave me great advice on the layout of the areas that I applied to my design.
During our weekly group meetings, I helped both Alyssa and Addie with a few of their issues they were having with their projects. Addie had trouble understanding the direction of the egress stairs. Alyssa and I both looked over it with her and determined the flow egress and which direction/set of arrows she needed to use in her floor plans. We also gave her the idea of using the elevators in the top story of the loft apartments. She was going to cut off all use of the elevators to the top floor but by allowing for only use of the top floor by the resident, it allows for a handicap person to live in a 2 story loft. With Alyssa, we helped her determine what needed to go in a few different areas and also helped her with some of her three dimensional ideas and how to execute them. I also helped her think of a few different ideas of what she could do for her third design area. We discussed some type of retail and came up with several different types of stores that succeed in this atmosphere.
