DESIGN I SCHEMATIC REQUIREMENTS
SPACE PLANNING & SEATING
To meet the diverse, individualized needs of our guests, it is important to accommodate a variety of seating options. Our emerging guest demographic seeks less formal, more flexible environments for their shifting work/play lifestyle. The design of the Lounge should reflect this lifestyle with opportunities to create innovative, nontraditional seating arrangements that support the core experiences of “Gather,” “Chill,” and “Collaborate.”
DINING While the goal is to avoid a “sea of tables,” provide some options for standard dining arrangements of tables and chairs.
COMMUNAL This style of seating works for individuals as well as small groups. Power sources should be incorporated into the design of the table to accommodate personal laptops as well as charging stations that the hotel would supply.
INDIVIDU AL Pair chairs with work-height tables to allow the guest to eat and work simultaneously. Power sources should be incorporated into furniture or located nearby for easy charging.
LOUNGE Modular seating arrangements allow guests to relax in an informal environment. Functional tables at various heights accommodate work and food simultaneously. Rugs at lounge seating groupings, soften hard surface flooring. Chandeliers or pendant lights differentiate lounge area.
SEMI-PRIVATE These are good spaces for small groups to collaborate or enjoy a more intimate dining opportunity. To accommodate various business needs, these should include power and dedicated media screens. This area can also accommodate overflow breakfast seating.
