For my final project I’m
building a hotel/house using Sketch up and scale models.
First of all is the energy efficiency to power the building. I was thinking
of solar panels to the south side of the building and solar windows on
all sides of the building.
Also, I am going to put wind turbines on the north side of the building
so it can get even more energy, because there is not much sun to the north.
The panels are to the south and the east and west because those three
sides have more sunlight than the north.
Next there are 17 floors: the top two floors are my house; the 15 above
the ground floor are hotel rooms. The ground floor has the check in/out
desk, the pool, the basketball, tennis and volley ball courts, the soccer
field, and the track for runners. Plus, the ground floor has a dining
room where guests go for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There's a theatre
for entertainment where plays go on and bands, orchestras, and choirs
perform.
That is the use for all of the floors.
Lastly, let’s talk about the way that this hotel will run.The employees
include chefs; bell hops, maids and butlers, life guards, coaches and
help desk workers. Overall, this is the building I’m designing for
my final project and how it will work.
