I've decided to have a fractal facade for the "pods" only and the rest will be curtain walls. The first two floors will also be curtain walls to give off a floating affect to the upper levels. Since the second level needs some structural support, I will add a smaller scale of the "fan" structure where the restaurant is suppose to be. The "fans" will also look as if it is holding up the pods as well.
The mechanical and laundry room will be in the cellar so there will be more space for the pool on the first floor. The pool will have double ceiling height and you will be able to see the structural design of the "fan". The office and staff rooms will be close to the lockers and swimming pool. On the second floor is where you will be able to check in for your room and go to the shop, arcade, cafe, gym, and spa. The last three levels are where all the rooms are. Some of the open spaces next to the rooms will become terraces. There is still more work to go, but little by little the futuristic hotel will be complete.
Hello Cindy,
ReplyDeleteIts been a long time you haven't uploaded but it is progressing in an interesting way! A few immediate thoughts:
- Your project is sectional. I recommend that you work in section simultaneously with plans ASAP. How do your engage with the ground? Are the roofs of some pods, terraces for others? Is the roof of the second floor inhabitable? A green elevated terrace maybe? If not, maybe the first set of pods should not "sit" on this slab and float instead.
- For your plans add thin lines for the volumes that belong in lower levels and dashed lines for the projected volumes.
- Save your rendering as .png so you have transparent background. At the moment, it is hard to see the "fan" structure. Obviously these renderings are still basic, nevertheless they should show clearly your massing. Try to render a perspective section.
