Description:
Hello. We are looking at building a recreational facility and are currently trying to get an estimate of building costs. To do so, we'd like to get some initial thoughts drafted out on paper regarding the floorplan of the building. We have some hand-sketches, but need someone to put our sketches into a real scale so that we can get a better idea of how things are coming together. Things you should know about our building:
- The building will have two large areas for two separate businesses. Right now, we're focused on the large area, which will have a ~7000 sq ft footprint.
-We're thinking it makes sense to start with a 70 (wide) by 100 (long) footprint and see how things look.
-We will have a second floor overhang of an additional 1750 sq foot or so.
-The main floor will have : two multi-stall bathrooms, a reception area, and two rooms (each about 400 sq ft to start)
-The overhang area on the "second floor" will have: two offices (~150 sq ft and 225 sq ft, respectively), two smaller bathrooms, an open area, and a lounge (~625 sq ft) + we will need a stair case from the bottom to the overhang.
- Once we have the initial layout of the floor plan complete (which will have tons of open space), we'd like to work with the same person to help us start sketching some additional areas out that we know will be used for certain purposes, but won't involve walls or other structural items.

We've attached two pictures of our humble sketches. One shows the downstairs/main area and one shows the upstairs overhang. We have strong preferences about certain things (like having the two rooms downstairs) but are less concerned about other things (like where the upstairs bathroom goes).
Wants:
We're looking for a traditional black and white floor plan, that's drawn to scale. Our biggest challenge is that we want to see how our projected floor plan looks when drawn correctly so that we can start planning out the design of the open areas. We want to be able to use the work product so that we can continue to build on it as the business plan advances. We value someone who can provide their own recommendations (for example, telling us that building costs will be cheaper if we shift a bathroom to a different location). We're also looking to you to keep us in check regarding sizes. If a bathroom looks way to big or way too small, we're relying on your expertise. This building will need 4-5 stalls in each of the downstairs bathrooms, but the upstairs ones can be smaller.
Additional Information
Hello, all. We are getting some good floorplans. Additional things to keep in mind:
- The staircase (which we need for second floor access) is a waste of space, so we're trying to minimize the space that it takes up. So, if there's a better place to put it, we're open to suggestions. The cafe will need to stay near the staircase for easy exit.
-This is the first of a few projects that we'll have on this space.
-the reception area should fit a counter where people can pay and check in. We don't need a sitting area there, as we'll have a lot of sitting space in the building.
-similarly, the entry space is just a space to get people in and have them paid. We're fine with keeping this area thin and using as much space as we can for the open big room space or the Room 1 and Room 2.

Hello,

Now that the designs are private and hidden you will have good designs sooner than prior to the end of the contest.
I am hopping you will be patient for submissions from architects as well, as this is an actual space-planning and interior architectural design remodeling project and, therefore, an architect's job.
Talk soon and best of luck to everyone!

Sincerely,
Raluca

Hi Ast3,
Can i ask if this is a existing building without facility inside or you have to start from the footing/foundation of the said building?
if it's a new building can you tell me where are the nearest access road for the location of your septic tank to be place and the nearest tapping point of supply water?
Can you provide the northing / easting of your building (e.g. Vicinity Location Map of your proposed building)

Thanks, Ben. I do not see the upstairs document. Can you resend? Also, the two rooms downstairs need to be oriented the other way. Our goal is to keep as much of the wall space and middle space of the area as open as possible. If we need to add another 5 foot to the building (75 foot), we can do so. Finally, If we select and pay for your work, can we ask you to incorporate additional items if we can agree to terms?

Good afternoon,

I uploaded a basic print ready PDF that is 1:10 scale when printed on standard 8.5x11 paper for your use. I have listed the square footage of each of the spaces so you can visualize the space allocation of each room. I placed the upstairs restrooms so that the plumbing wall aligns with the restrooms below, this will reduce the cost of construction greatly. I paid close attention to the description and drawings that you provided, thanks for the opportunity, let me know what you think.

Shipping container cafe
This will be a 40' high cube shipping container turned into a cafe with a drive thru. I would like to have a 3D architectural design made on a plot of land showing entry points from the road leading to the drive-through and out of the property. This container will have indoor and outdoor seating, roof seating, retail wall and retail case built into part of the bar. One intire side will have hydraulic walls that will go down and become the floor. Or at least the 20' section where the bar will be located. I have attached some designs to help with the overall design. The exterior should have a wood planking look with large words that will say. HEMP CAFE "COFFEE""BOTANICALS" "TEA" "CBD" the name will be Nature's Station Roof balcony will have a metal wire look with a stair case and a wheelchair lift. Interior I would like to leave 20 foot section wall closed in to display retail items or menu boards. If there is a creative way to add another 20' or 40"container to this design that will give more seating and will not interfere with the drive thru, I would love any ideas. Also i would like to have some outdoor seating like a small courtyard incorporated into the design that will have Edison bulbs rope lighting. As far as the drive thru I believe it would either run along the entire back side of the container or the smallest and closest to the bar as a drive-thru quick window Can't wait to see the designs.
Separation Wall, Ceilings and Flooring 3D & Sketch Designs
I wish to have internal drawing designs done that can show visually the installation and fixing details when applying our MgO Corp Board products to Timber and Steel Framing Systems as well as roof battening and applied to masonry walls. I would like the detail to note the processes, material, Rw Acoustic Solution of system combination, Single sheet and Combined sheet FRL's performances on a system and combined system R-Values options. We are competing against James Hardie, Boral, CSR in the building products market. Our product out performs all the above structurally, acoustic, impact and fire. We need to now show this in drawings so Engineers, designers, architects, builders, specifiers xyz can clearly and quickly understand the application and installation methods of our products. Our website is: www.mgoboard.com.au and the following is links to technical information MOST IMPORTANT: The detail has to be to a standard an Engineer will sign off on the drawings!!!!!!

Looking for floorplan for "Duplex" Office Building (New Construction)
We've purchased a piece of land and are building office space for two law firms, and are looking at potentially having a "duplex" model where we put two single-story spaces together, with separate entrances. We need some help working through potential floor plan layouts for each side of the duplex. These layouts will help us with our planning process for the site. We're looking for a floorplan design on how we can lay the spaces out in the most flexible way while still having the required spaces/offices that we mention in the attachments/notes. If there is "extra" space in a particular side of the building, we'd love your suggestions on how to fill it.
