Project3: Floor Plans

Ok, So for the gym, my design is based on the need for natural sunlight, vntilation and openness. With type spesific activities taking place in the complex I think that it is important that on entry the visitor/ user, can see exactly where they want to be and how to get there without getting lost.
Initially I was a bit worried about the vatacnt space between the entrance and the gymnasium, however solved this problem by placing an open gallery space (possibly presenting school sporting achievements - or enven art work) this area could possibly act as a pomotional in that it could bost the school achievemnts and is on display to the public using the facilities.
I wanted the first floor to be particularlly light visually as well as in feel. Whilst the base of the the building sits quite solidy on the ground, with the incorporation of rammed earth walls and concrete floors, the first floor takes advantage of highset windows for natural ventilation as well as to let the light in and provide a view out.
