Finalized Site Plan

The site has a parking lot for 40 cars including 2 preferred parking spots, 3 handicap spots and 1 carpool spot. The green area in front of the school is made of drivable grass so it can be used as overflow parking. The roof garden on the 2nd story of the building has tiered mounds and shrubbery. The tiered effect is mimicked in the Student Courtyard.

Site Design Progression

1st Draft of the Computerized Site Plan



More Finalized Version of the Site Plan

Materials

These are the materials I plan on using. The carpet will be used on the hallways. The wood laminate will be used in the classrooms. I will use the gray laminate as accents underneath the skylights in each classroom. The fabric swatches on the left are for the "plus" sign benches in the student lounges. The gray and blue dots are for the stairs. The blue will highlight the nose of the tread.

Initial Site Design

Beginning Design of the Site Plan.
I am still trying to work out the size of turning lanes, parking access, bike lanes/storage, accessible parking placement etc. I think the first photo is the one I will use as a basis for my design. I like that the parking lot lines up with the lines of the building. I am hoping to get help from an architect to design the landscaping.

ADMH Perspectives

I am not sure which perspectives I will use just yet. I plan on rendering the walls, floor and ceiling in Revit, hand rendering the furniture or "featured item" in the perspective, and then importing and tying it all together in Photoshop.
