- 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).
- 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.

Thank you for the opportunity and challenge for this project.

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,

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)

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.
