We were asked to design an antiquarian bookshop that caters for a niche market.

1. Entrance is near the lower right hand rectangle. First thing you see is the room for private consultation (slanted square room), then on its right is a small reception.
2. On the left side are lounge sofas for reading.
3. Further left is 3 computer stations for searching library catalogue.
4. Upper left hand corner is the conference table
5. Along the walls are the bookshelves
6. Lastly, the toilet with disabled access

Just because they are awesome

Bookshelves (closed)

Designed like how iTouch and iPhone works. Touchscreen browsing through books.

Toilet with disabled access

Comments and responses:

1. Sofas are bulky: yes they are, bad choice of sofas

2. Why 3 computers?: Mmm didn't really think about it, but now that I have I think 1-2 would have done just fine.

3. Reception stuck in a corner: I guess slanting the consultation room kinda took away space for the reception : \ damn.

4. Conference table not enough lighting: need to add more lighting. Got it.

We had to take 3 photos of surfaces (ceiling, wall, floor) for part 1, then for part 2 use them to create a palette of materials for an interior space. I think. Kinda forgot it's been a long time. :\ 


From this collection specify the ceiling, wall and floor for a routine through the building supplied (somewhere in Woodside?) The route must start at the entrance and finish at the glazed area to the rear of the first floor.


Consider:
The beginning, middle and end of the journey.
Significant moments that occur along the way.
The effect of lighting, both natural and artificial.
Combinations, transitions and relative proportions.

Part I

Ceilings

Walls

Floors

Part II

Here's what I came up with:

I didn't actually get to use the last photo in the final design because it made my Vectorworks crash several times. So I used the flower ornaments as a design on the bottom of the stairs instead.

Here's the combinations:

Final work:

1. Wall: Combination of (ceiling1)+(ceiling2)+(floor1)
2. Ceiling: Combination of (floor2)+(floor3)
3. Stairs: wall1 (used the wooden planks as the tread and the plaster wall as the riser)
4. Flower ornament: wall 2
5. Landing walls: wall 3 

Notice I didn't mention ceiling3, well technically ceiling3 kinda looks like wall1 anyway so I just made wall1 into 2 different materials, wooden plank and plaster.
