The next task of this week's studio was to begin creating a mass model of our design proposal and produce a series of plans, elevations and sections that would be combined together to create our poster for our interim presentation.

Below are some screen shots of my design proposal

The above screen shot conveys my ground / platform level

This screen shot conveys my first floor / cafe level with out door deck and roof top garden

The above screenshot is a longitudinal section conveying the entire platform that I'm proposing

This screenshot shows the elevation view that one would see when directly looking to the proposed platform

The above screen shot is a 3D render conveying the mass of my proposed structure

The next step in this project is to begin adding more detail to my design and also taking on board all the feedback that I have received during my interim submission.
