EVEN MORE CONCEPT WORK

This design is much like a previous one shown. The difference is I have maximised the built space, and have added 2 levels at the base (levels 2 & 3) which gradually arc around the tower. These would be casino and restaurant levels, whilst the rest of the tower would consist of hotel usage. I have also utilised an area at the front of the site which would act as a destination point and an attraction. Much like the Bellagio, I was thinking of maybe a fountain or something like that. Again, this space interacts with Wickham Street and is a little more open to Gipps Street also.

I think that its important to have an entrance and exit on the same street rather than using 2 different streets. This is the issue that has been plaguing me since developing any ideas.

Obviously, these models only took a couple of minutes to mock up, and although it looks nothing like what i want to produce, it does show the layering idea at the base. A lot more work needs to be done once I have decided which design to go with, but the idea and floor layouts are already there.
