Week 3
This week we focused on finalizing our floor and site plans. We wanted to make sure to create synergy within the space and that all adjacencies were at optimal placement.Parking Plan: This plan shows the major outline of the structure as well as the developed parking for the site. The parking plan includes two drop-offs (one at each major entrance), as well as nearly 150 parking spots, integrated with landscaping to maintain green space on the site.
Floor Plan: This is the most developed floor plan, showing both the first and second floors. Changes that can be seen from previous floor plans include the shift of the workout and dance space to the west of the floorplan, near the pool facilities, to create activity synergy. Additionally, the second floor accommodates the dual-level fitness room, pool areas, reading room/library/computer room, and atrium/lobby space.
Precedents: This week we chose to look at precedents for the types of rooms that we will develop for this project. Rooms to be developed are: the lobby/atrium, wellness/fitness area, dressing rooms, and the library/reading room/computer room.
For interiors, we studied the Bella Vista Senior Living in Mesa, Arizona. This space won a design competition for senior centers, so we found it pertinent to study their interiors.
Lobby: we admire the openness and warm feeling of this lobby space.
Dining Spaces: While the decor has more of a traditional feel than we aspire we, we appreciate how the spaces are divided up and organized, without being boring or too linear. The set-up of these spaces creates interest.
