Feb 10 - Feb 16 Update

This week I have continued to work on figuring out my floor plans with the limited space I have to work with. I have also completed an elevation of the auditorium. I am currently working on some side elevations as well. I also started to work with a program called DiaLux. It is a 3-D program that is used to enhance the lighting of a space. The program allows you to bring in lighting from well known companies and the program calculates the lighting equations for you. I haven't figured out how to render in the program yet, but once I do I will post some of the images on here.

Elevation of Auditorium




I have also been looking for more furniture for my bar area. I think I am going to use these bistro tables. They are by Davis furniture. They are called Thesis Bistro Table.

Inspiration Sheet & Floor Plans..........

This week I have been doing a mix of different things............

On Monday I posted my Inspiration Sheet ...........
(You may have to click on the image to view it.)





















The rest of the week I worked on researching fire codes, ADA codes, and so on........
I also, started putting in the furniture for my First and Second Floor. They are still in the rough stages though.


















I have also been doing a little research on furnishings and I believe I have found the banquettes for my auditorium. They are Lakeside Banquettes by Martin Brattrud. They will look like the La Purisima by Martin Brattrud but they will curve for my rounded booth sections. I think I want to put a soft suede fabric on the banquette.


















La Purisima Banquette & Armless Prince by Martin Brattrud

The Prince chair also by Martin Brattrud is also a favorite of mine for the table and chairs that will be in my auditorium.

Update

This past week I have been reading through the fire codes, life safety codes, and ADA codes and working with my floor plan to make sure I pass all codes. It has been a struggle trying to place ramps and fire stairs into my small building. I believe I may have found a way to not have to put a second stair well in my second floor which is only 2,500 sq. ft. by creating a fire escape off the back part of the roof. I am waiting to move forward on this decision till I ask the fire marshall on Wednesday if this can be done.

I have also been looking through furnishings and finishings for my project so I can have a better grasp of what space allowances I will need for my seating in my auditorium.
