This week was not as productive as I would have liked it to be. I worked on modeling the lobby area along with the restaurant located in Mezzanine A. These were trickier than I thought they would be because I had to think not only about the 2D plan but what was going on around each seating area (including the ceiling, walls, etc.). When modeling the restaurant I was about to save space in areas that I did not realize needed less square footage. I also lost much of the space in some of the seating areas due to under estimating the size of the chairs and tables. After modeling the entire restaurant, I ended up only losing 3 seats in my occupancy count.
In the lobby area, I modeled the reception desk along with the 3 seating areas to create a more intimate setting while checking in and out of the hotel. I also looked into how the lobby area would be perceived from the second floor lounge. This was rather tricky since the mezzanine area has a glass railing that overlooks the lobby and the atmosphere I wanted to create in the seating areas on the first level was a more welcoming and intimate setting.
When working with my group, they helped me come up with ideas for the lobby seating areas, rearrange the restaurant seating, and came up with a unique concept for the guest check out and ticket confirmation area. I helped my group members with design ideas such as Addie's new floor plans. I helped her last week develop new plans but this week we reexamined what she had come up with and changed them up a little more. Now, her building functions much easier and makes more sense.
This week I plan to model and finish developing the lounge area, the 3 areas on the hotel floors, and the flower shop. I will also begin looking at the light fixtures that will be going in the main areas of the hotel.
