The Simcha Hall Project

Summers is pretty much over, and it seems like a good enough time to say, "WOW! I WASTED ALMOST 3 MONTHS!"
Which isn't necessarily true as it is more likely an over statement of the truth. There were multiple events over the summer that prevented me from completing any of my projects, but the one I did mostly complete is the one I'm posting about now.



On the left, is a rendering given to me after I had measured the existing dimensions of the structure. The large dining area is all that I am planning. However, it wouldn't hurt to plan where the bathroom will be, along with the kitchen.
For plumbing and accessibility reasons.






 On the right, is the first drawings I exported for the project. Three different angles, some elevations and the preexisting plan. It's a very interesting shape, I did not realize until recently why it's shaped as such. Its reasoning is because of the floor above the same goes with the window placements. There are large vertical windows on the upper floor and someone thought it nice to make all the windows align.




The next image is a recent rendering (Low quality) of the interior space. It's the women's side washing area. It's much too dim currently, but adding some chandeliers and LED lights should increase the brightness of the night time scene.
The mirrors are being used to reflect light and increase the size of the room. Simultaneously, it's allowing people to view themselves, so they can always look their best! 
That's very important.


The floor plan that I submitted to my client. Complete with dimensions and column placements.
If you look, you can see two wide entrances on the center wall (vertically)... I'm planning on having it closed so the room will make more sense.

Below is a rendering that was made during the writing of this post.






Interior rendering.

A lot of work on the coloring and the lighting of the room still needs to be done. Also the profiles of the moldings for the floor and ceiling. AND lights on the actual columns.

Over all, it's come a long way since I first started. And given the amount of time put in, we're right on schedule.

Speaking of schedules, mine is ready and set for the coming semester!

I. Am. Ready!

Thanks for reading, dear reader :)
