Floor Plan Design Update - Hotel

Hotel Typical Floor vs. Hotel Balcony Floor

Hotel Typical Floor - 3rd & 5th Floors

Hotel Balcony Floor - 4th Floor


I wanted to engage the waterfront site more by providing an outdoor accessible area in some of the hotel rooms.  I didn't want to provide just a visual connection to this beautiful site but also a physical one as well. Unfortunately, I was only able to implement balcony space on the 4th floor without expanding the size of the floors. However, the views overlook a beautiful cityscape of downtown Manhattan and New Jersey while overlooking the East River. The outdoor area addition can allow people to access the exterior environment and feel the effects of wind brushing against them, the delicate water moisture, and the soothing sound of rolling waves. These effects were what I felt best influenced my overall design concept so I wanted to engage visitors in as much of that as possible.
