Schematic design

  After working on a plan and doing changes over time, finally I came up with the floor plan that you can see below. As it shows in the plan one main entrance provided for all business components of the facility, and only the live/work space has separate entrance to have more security.

   The main lay out idea was encouraging the communication of different user groups. The main entrance opens to a shared spaces that serve as a connection between all areas and also as awaiting and gathering zone. Gallery space that moves through the whole building has glass walls in some parts and folding doors,  they all encourage visitors move into a space. Both restaurant and hair salon, also have a door for direct access to the gallery.

 Here I am showing the rendered reflected ceiling plan. There are three different ceiling types which include: gypsum ceiling, acoustical ceiling tile and glass ceiling tile that shows with color code in the plan.

These hand rendered shows the shematic design development of project.
