6.+SPATIAL+ORGANIZATION

The ground floor is composed, predominantly, of Retail. Not only does the program require it to be placed on the first floor, it is the most spatially open floor. Other than Retail, it contains Electrical/Mechanical, Bathrooms, Loading area, and vertical circulation. Having placed doors on opposite ends of the floor will allow for cross ventilation and linear circulation. The Service and Circulation spaces are positioned in the same location through all floors for efficiency in plumbing and circulation. Exterior spaces are available for environmental experience as well as connection with the water walls that relate to my concept.
