I always fascinated by . . .: Studio Studies VI

In this studio I learnt to design a public space. we're given an option to choose a category such as hospitality, or museum, or education, or health care, sacred place, etc. I got Dipl.-Des Paulus S. Whanarahardja for my major lecture, and Susatyo Dewantono, S.Sn. for my assistant lecture.
I choose hospitality, and a beach resort for my major. Grand Mirage Resort, is the name of my project and it is located in Tanjung Benoa-Nusa Dua, Bali. Therefore I've gone to Bali in order to survey all about the hotel. their rooms, restaurants, kind of guests, facilities, hotel's theme, their maintenance, materials, etc.=="
but I ain't got the full plan of Grand Mirage, so I used the plan of Bali Griya Shanti. in same area, Nusa Dua.

In the beginning of my studio, I was on fire and excited about this project because of the unusual things like its location, and the resort itself have an 'exotic feel' for me. moreover, I have many books and magazines about tropical resort. that's make me so excited to design with more passionate and finish this project with a good mark.
At first I'd a target to make 7 special rooms, but after think about it, that's impossible if make 7 special rooms because we didn't have much time to do it all.. so I just make 3 special rooms (Main Lobby, International Restaurant, and Superior Room) +2 crude rooms (Wedding Chapel and Business Lounge).
I'd prejudice that designing a resto is something interesting, but that's truly false. designing a resto is kind of troublesome..you can't make a superb design, you can't simply make a fuckin barbed design. because the aspects you've consider are many, soooo wide and knotty.. but after a tough discussion with my lecture, I got a pretty cool design for my resto.

and check this also,, the superior room... making this room is simple and my lecture didn't have any important comments, he's just give an simple advice like "Bali's room have to be more romantic, artwork..,etc etc".

and the main looby....the focal point is the pool at the middle of the room. so the other aspect like seating,etc is just become a neutralizer.

My design concept was derived from a verse in the Bible, Prov 4:23 "... for out of it flow the springs of life." but I substitute "life" to "radiance". because my design concept is Sun Ray + Water or the sparkle of ray.. so the concept is "for out of it flow the Springs of Radiance" to give an accent that every rooms in that resort is spraying that gleam.
