Seminar Research 09/28/07



I have been spending some time devoted to deciding on the square footage necessary for my hotel/restaurant/bar design for my Senior Capstone project. One of the hotels that I focused on was The Delano in Miami, Florida. It gives some typical arrangements for sizes of different areas within the hotel and different room types, such as the penthouse, apartment, and bungalow spaces. The link to the website is listed below.

Based on my intended uses of the hotel space, I am probably going to be interested in some of the buildings with larger square footage. The buildings that I am interested in as of now is The Hotel King, a portion of the Commerce Building, or the Kress building and its individual components. I am going to take images of the buildings and look at their relation to downtown this weekend and post images to this blog once I have done so.

One feature that I may have an interesting time in creating would be the pool area, because our location is downtown. There may be a way to get a view of the river, but I would rather preserve that view for an outdoor terrace. The Kress Building






















The Fuqua Building is located near the Commerce Building on Third and Laurel.
















The next building is called the Lyceum Building.














These images are of the Hotel King, located across from the Hilton Hotel. The site is being proposed as a boutique hotel.
