Plan development

   My general idea of having interlocking spaces developed by the concept of connecting all three facilities: hair salon, restaurant and live/work space through the gallery space. By having the gallery space that move through the whole facility and creates connection both visually and architecturally. Initial idea was to provide a shared space through the main entrance that is open to sky to provide more connection to nature and creating inviting environment for engaging community. But after some revision due to having less demolition in the building, I changed it to a gathering place with glass ceiling. These are some sketches that showing my thinking process for developing this idea.
