1st Floorplan Completion

Here is the completed 1st floorplan. I added the back of house spaces yesterday and completed the lobby. In the lobby, I actually had room for a lounge/bar area. The space is very angular and based off of the idea of turbulence and movement of the river. I think the space is very dynamic and incorporates the overall design concept of the hotel well. Comments and suggestions from my professor were to add the bellman or hostess station. I also added two employee entrances and made the housekeeping and laundry area accessible to the dry cleaning back of house area. The washing and drying equipment (machines) are communally used by the hotel and the dry cleaners. I am also eliminating the Carpentry Shops to add a centrally located staff lounge. The furniture repairs will be handled outside of the hotel proper.
