NOTES
• Administrative office areas are generally divided into five clusters: front desk and front office, executive office, sales and catering office, accounting office, information technology offices. • For food prep and storage, the designer must plan the kitchens so that all food-related activities are located close together. • It is important to know general concepts for the hotel’s food and beverage offerings before any sizing or placement of the kitchen takes place. • Food and beverage storage areas are usually located adjacent either to the receiving area or to the kitchen. • Hotel receiving and trash areas require clear separation of incoming and outgoing goods. • The receiving and trash areas require between 2 and 3 sq ft per guestroom, but the size is determined only in part by the number of guest rooms. • Laundry rooms and housekeeping areas have key adjacency requirements, related to servicing the guestrooms and providing staff uniforms and other linens. • Laundry and housekeeping require 10 to 14 sq ft per guestroom because the majority of the laundry is produced by those in guestrooms. • Mechanical rooms should be close to the laundry, kitchen, and other high-energy use areas for most economical operation. • floor so that the major guest circulation is logical and convenient and the designer must position any long-span spaces so that they are not directly under the guestroom tower. • Designers should access the relative need for main hotel entrance, ballroom/ banquet entrance, restaurant entrance, health club/ spa entrance, airport drop off, suite entrance. • Lobby can act as a social center, combining the traditional functions into one space where guests can register, eat, meet, and socialize. • Locating bars, restaurants, and retail kiosks within the lobby is one way to increase the apparent size of the space without adding additional gross area. • The lobby serves as main circulation space, directing guests to the front desk, elevators, food and beverage outlets, meeting and banquet facilities, health clubs and other gathering areas; as guests linger it acts as an informal gathering area. • The lobby can also function as a security control point, where the staff can visually supervise access to the building. • Locate the desk so that it is immediately visible to the entering hotel guest and so that desk personnel can visually oversee access to the passenger elevators. • Provide a seating area near the desk and entrance, including some private seating groups; locate additional seating contiguous with the lobby bar. • Establish clear paths to the front desk, elevators, restaurants and bars, meeting areas; where possible, separate hotel-guest traffic from convention-oriented visitors. • Position bellman stations near the front desk, elevators, and front entrance; locate luggage storage nearby.

Hotel
Text description provided by the architects. Miyuan hotel is a 22 room boutique hotel pretends visitors could feel the passage of time and the contact with nature. The site is located hidden in the mountains of Anhui, adjacent to the mouth of a dam and its river, surrounded by hiking tracks for exploration of the bamboo forest. The project adapts the unused buildings around giving them different functions to fill the needs of the hotel needs. As soon as you enter in the building, the dualist dialogue begins between the exterior and the interior, the new and the old, the human and the nature. The building is understood as a configuration of different volumes that make up the rooms (ABCDE) connected through a corridor located in the northwest area of the building that allows the movement between different levels. The furniture used was collected from picturesque villages and surrounding villages, each piece of wood being unique. In turn, the restoration was made only on the surface of the same, thus maintaining the character and original essence of the furniture, creating again a dialogue with a great emphasis on the passage of time and the relationship between man and nature.
• Create spaces in which users can connect to the surrounding environment. • Utilize natural materials from the surrounding communities and areas. • Source furniture and finishes from local manufacturers to connect the user back to the location.

Hostel SUI
Text description provided by the architects.The guesthouse located in Nishijin Kyoto’s famed weaving district which is in the northwest part of central Kyoto and one of the most traditional areas of the city. In front of the bed’s door there is an open area in order to create social spaces around the beds. Since there are a lot of female users sharing similar hobbies, we have designed the entire second floor capsule type rooms as a place where they can use and relax in groups just like a small village. Furthermore, cabins are arranged to make private passages amongst themselves like an alley. According to the changing time zones and types of people -they may both be group or individualthe user can use the space as a private space by himself/herself or as a social space within a group of people with using open semipublic spaces and alleys.
• Give open space around entrance to each bed to give a sense of ownership or act as a social space. • Provide additional informal gathering places aside from the community lounge areas. • Provide intuitive circulation that aids privacy and quiet throughout the space. • Create public spaces that allow for socialization and open areas for relaxation.

DESIGN GOALS
Languid is defined as being pleasantly lazy and peaceful or slow and relaxed. As selfproclaimed “languid Laos�, the city of Vientiane embodies this notion of a relaxed paradise. The design of the proposed hotel, located in Vientiane, Laos, will work to personify the languid reputation of the city in the design of the space. Nestled along the bend of the slow moving Mekong River, the hotel will mirror the calmness and soft motion of the waters to further reflect that into the design of the hotel. The space will aim to complement the surrounding city and provide a comfortable, safe, and enticing space for those yearning to get immersed in the world around them.
19
The proposed hotel located in Vientiane, Laos will be a place for people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and desires to safely and comfortably stay while staying in touch with the beautiful nature, landscapes, and culture of Laos that surrounds them. Creating a design that seamlessly blend the rich culture of the Laotian people with a hotel full of modern amenities that guests expect, is of utmost importance. Providing a range of different guest experiences allows visitors to tailor their trip and stay to their liking and necessary accommodations. With the goal of catering to a wide range of traveler needs, the hotel will provide traditional multi-person suites, as well as innovative compact single person guest suites. Intuitive wayfinding to and throughout these sections of the hotel will be provided and user experience will be the highest priority. Privacy and safety of the guests will be integral to the design of the hotel. Compact suites will feature lockable doors with sound deadening insulation to put guests at ease during their stay. Merging traditional Southeast Asian textiles and wood-art with a clean and sleek modern aesthetic, the hotel will act as a sanctuary for those looking to relax and vacation.

LOBBY RECEPTION
As the first impression of the hotel, the main lobby and reception acts a grand space that stretches over twelve meters high (40ft). Merging contemporary design elements with the traditional Laotian design language creates a space that stays true to the culture in the surrounding city and community. Large, modern skylights adorn the ceiling and allow sunlight to cascade into the space, washing the interior with natural light that continuously transforms the space as the day progresses. LED lights line the inside edge of the cutout, maintaining the signature shape of the ceiling even when the sun has set.
