Basic Idea of MasterPlan

This is just a basic idea of my interpretation for the Master Layout. This idea includes but not limited to circulation, both vertical and horizontal, public green areas, and both the main structure and sub-structure.

The circulation is the yellow blocks which are kind of hard to spot. There are a total of 4 stair-case towers each with its elevator shaft. I would like to point out that the stair-case towers can be expose stair and do not necessary need to be a tower. Same goes for the elevators. I tried to separate them for optimal space efficiency.

There are 6 public green areas where people can hang out and have an amazing view. 2 areas are enormous and 1 is medium size and the last 3 are the smallest at around 10' x 24'. The unique thing about the small green areas is the fact that they use up the space where naturally a unit would use.

The space in between the units is the brown area and it is mainly used for horizontal circulation. This area has to become a nice hospitality and welcoming area. Towards the edges on both sides, you will notice an over sized balcony type of platform, I believe people will interactive with these public spaces. I incorporated vertical circulation in these areas forcing people to notice it.

As for the units themselves I categorize them into 3 different volumes. The 1st is the dark red color which represents the apartments that will use up 3 containers (units), these units are most likely to house 3 to 4 bedrooms. The 2nd is the medium red color, these apartments will use up 2 container (units), these units will hold 2 and maybe 3 bedrooms depending on how much space the owners wants in the living and dining areas. As for the single units, they use up only one container and typically will hold a studio environment, kind of like a hotel room (very limited space).

As you may have notice the spinal cord idea has vanish and I cut up the linear structure into several parts and moved them around creating a bi-spinal cord structure enclosing the public space in between. I also wanted to incorporate some public areas facing the outsides of the complex. This is where the green areas came in to play, they spread out the public space successfully.

Well hope you guys like it please let me know if anything seems wired or simple if it is not a good idea. If any of you have an imput i'm all ears. I will post some form Z models tomorrow just wanted to show you guys what i have been working on. Well hope to hear from you guys soon later have a good one.
