SEMINAR PRELIMINARY PROPOSAL IDEA

In Seminar today, I addressed a few questions with June. I have determined that I want to produce a chain hotel, preferably something similar to the W Hotel. I contacted Helena Bryan at the New York Office for W Hotel, and I am trying to see if there is someone that would be able to provide me with the typical room layouts and the color schemes that are used for the W Hotel Chain. She is supposed to be emailing me or contacting me by phone within the next day.
I am unsure of what direction I should be going in for the hypothetical client. I am using the Hotel King for my building because of its location across from the Hilton Hotel and proximity to the Shaw Center for the Arts. The hotel is currently being proposed as a site for a boutique hotel. This building has amazing views of the river and over looks the roof terrace of the Shaw Center. The spatial types that will be contained in this building are retail on the ground level and a hotel on the upper floors. The two potential focus topics are sustainable products and initiatives involved with becoming LEED Certified or construction documents. The scope of the project, if choosing construction documents, will be based more on technical drawings and renderings. If I choose to do LEED Certification and Design criteria, then the space will incorporate different principles to acheive that certification. These are all of my initial thoughts on the preliminary proposal, and I plan on elaborating on them more for Wednesday's deadline.
