Study Models:

In this first study model I placed the residential unit in the left area of the building while allowing for a open lobby space with private library and computer room to the right of that, and the guest rooms are situated in the right of this building. The residential unit was too small in this example and I didn't like the break up of private spaces on both sides of the public space. Also the lobby was not as opened up as I had imagined but the general location of the lobby space works well in the heart of this building.

This study model represents a commercial kitchen and dining space to the left allowing for easy access to the covered patio area outside. the lobby has been divided up with a big "X" which has derived from my concept model. This creates the major hallways through the lobby space. To create emphasis, I made the reception desk the only curved element in the lobby. The residential unit is placed behind the reception area and then the guest rooms are to the right off a main hallway. This model represents Public to private space very nicely by allowing all the public spaces to be more open and towards the street corner side of the building.

This study model is very similar to the second one in the Public spaces to the right. As for the residential unit this is now placed all the way to the right of the building, allowing for a residential entryway on that far side of the building away from the commercial Bed and Breakfast establishment main entryway. This plans circulation works the best and divides public and private spaces up again very nicely. Also in this plan I was thinking about back to back plumbing walls by having guest bathrooms share a plumbing wall to make the overall layout more functional overall. The reception desk needs to be moved closer to the front door, which will be an easy fix by just switching it with a lounge area. Overall this plan is the best representation of my concept ideas into a 3D study model.
