Site Analysis:

The site of the building is located among many other buildings in the downtown Westminster,which includes a lot of nodes surround by. Thetra�c pattern is a very important part of thosethings that I should consider during the design.In the analysis, I analysised the di�erence of thetra�c directions, and think how those tra�c isgoing to in�uence the site and how the relationbetween site and surroudings.

Floor Planning Concept:

There include three �oors of the buidling, which in the top �oorthere are the main conference room and two small conferenceroom, and those conference room have balcony to allow peopleto have some relax during the meeting. The second �oor is opento the public and there is the program space and the relax room.

The �rst �oor is the lobby and in the back there is o�ce space.The Idea of the �oor planning is main to create a concise and anopen space for people inside the building, so this is a one of thereason why I made a very large open space work station insteadof the individul o�ces. Also the program place is also be created

in a wide space so that people can talk to each other better. The belcony inside the building also showing the same function, letpeople have a great feeling while they are inside buidling, more,the tall space can make these space relating together.

Interior Space:

The inside space of the building is mainly using the consice colorsto balance the structure. Using tall columns next to the windows to support the tall glass, the columns is also a way of decoration.In the second �oor, the balustrade is also using glass, to balancethe entire frame, also can create a bright space.

Like the design concept mentioned, the general inside space aimto create a peaceful space using the feeling of dawning, however,not all the space should be like that, so this is the reason that the tall windows are designed, to bring people have a feeling of thatshows the brightness, and make people feel much better.

Design Concept:

As located in downtown Westminster, South Carolina, unlike thebig city, which the surrounding area is a pretty quiet. People in the town are knowing each other very well, and are very friendlyto each other. This design is for create a gathering area for those local people or a guest centre for the visitors, which mainly used for educating people how to prevent domestic violence.

The main idea is using the side windows to create an enviornmntof a feeling of dawning, to create a peaceful feeling inside of thehouse. The side windows are opened in di�erent directions thatthe light can come from di�erent direction in the day time.
