New floor plans and sections March 30th


1st floor plan


I've made the changes that we discussed the last time:
- Dock area enlarged and hotel moved to perpendicular position with the hospice.
- I removed the private residential units on the right side and added them back to the left side like how they used to be. I kept them the same shape because I like the way they are on the second floor (roof tops becomes shared public space to encourage public interactivity.)
- The hospice was lengthened to accomodate the big rice field on the left side.
- Each of the big box will be divided into 4 sections and include 3 programs: the rice field/ open space (1 section) , the public residential (2 sections,) and the public program (1 section.)
- On the left side there will be big rice field, on the right side there will be treatment/care unit. These two programs will dictate what people do, and where they will go in the hospice.

Short sections through the private residential and public residential and the treatment/care unit


Long section looking at the hospital and commercial buildings. I made some changes in this section. I've decided that I will raise the hospice section about 5 feet above ground, with small columns/feet to support the structure. So the level of the hospice will be:
-o.5 level: (5ft) Only comlumns to support structure. By doing this, if i want to bring trends of water from the right side to the left (where the rice fields are,) I can, without troubles. This also helps with the scenery of the place.
-1 level: (10ft) Hospiece
-2 level: (10ft) Roof tops

For the hospital, every floor will be 15 feet in height. 4 floors. It raises up to 60 ft above ground.
The hotel part at the outer most of the complex will stay perpendicular to the hospice sections for 2 floors. When it reaches the third floor, the part of the left is going to be used as part of the hospital and will be connected to the main part of the hospital using walk ways like it used to be. I liked the idea of that space formed on the second floor being the hub of transportation for residents.
