Schematic Drawings

Here are some perspectives of the schematic design that our group came up with.  First is an exterior view of the building (Mira Eng-Goetz), then a view of the coffee shop/community space (Monique Farley) and finally a view of open air courtyard.

Schematic Plan

We decided to place as many units as possible along the perimeter of the building so that we could include windows and natural light in these units.  In the center of the building we suggested two open air courtyards that would allow the adjacent units to have windows and a view of the outdoors as well.  The entrance is kept the same as the original entrance and leads you into a lobby and reception area and then down to the community center and coffee shop. The hallways are all ten feet wide with skylights along the length of them so that they dont feel too enclosed.
