Conversion of a 710-square-foot Auditorium into Therapist Offices

Project Proposal: Conversion of a 710-square-foot Auditorium into Therapist Offices

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Refer to the four attached 2D drawings from Live Home 3D Pro:
• Drawing A: Current Building Layout: Displays the rough layout of the entire 17,013-square-foot single-story building.
• Drawing B: Current Auditorium: Shows the current 836-square-foot Auditorium (approximately 36 feet by 23 feet) and its immediate exterior.
• Drawing C: Auditorium Design Space: Focuses on the approximately 710-square-foot space of the Auditorium (approximately 31 feet 10 inches by 23 feet 1 inch) that will be your design canvas. This area is referred to as the Auditorium Design Space (ADS).
• Drawing D: Auditorium Design Space Sample Option: Provides a sample configuration layout.
The building houses various healthcare professionals, including acupuncturists, chiropractors, functional neurologists, massage therapists, mental health therapists, personal trainers, physical therapists, primary care providers, and women's health specialists.

Project Overview
The project entails transforming the existing 710-square-foot Auditorium Design Space (ADS) within a 17,013-square-foot healthcare facility into four individual therapist offices and a dedicated storage area (refer to Drawing C).

Project Objectives
The primary goals of this project are to:
1. Maximize the utilization of the ADS to create functional and private office spaces for therapists.
2. Incorporate innovative design solutions to introduce a sense of natural light and openness into the interior offices, particularly those without direct exterior exposure.

Design Constraints
• Soundproofing: Internal office walls must incorporate effective sound insulation to ensure patient confidentiality, complementing the existing soundproofing of the auditorium's exterior walls.
• Hallway Configuration: Designated hallway areas must remain unaltered to comply with state regulations regarding egress and accessibility.
• Office F Exclusion: Office F is not included in the project scope.

Auditorium Design Space Specifications (Drawing C)
• Dimensions: Approximately 710 square feet (31 feet 10 inches by 23 feet 1 inch)
• Wall Height: 9 feet 9 inches
• Ceiling: Decorative tiles with HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fire sprinkler systems above
• Roof: Flat roof with approximately 7 feet 3 inches clearance above the ceiling

Office Design Parameters
• Office Sizes can be of different but must adhere to the following restrictions:
o Largest office: Maximum 190 square feet
o Smallest office: Minimum 106 square feet
o Minimum width for all offices (excluding storage): 8 feet 4 inches
• Storage Space:
o Approximately 65 square feet
o Minimum width: 5 feet
• Room Layout:
o Consider suites for larger offices to enhance appeal
o Maintain appropriate room proportions and aspect ratios
• Flooring: Recommend calming and peaceful flooring options (furnishings and décor are not part of this project scope)

Key Design Considerations
• Natural Light: Optimize the use of natural light from south-facing windows at the front of the auditorium.
• Interior Offices: Employ creative design elements (e.g., lighting, artificial windows, tubular skylights) to simulate natural light and outdoor views in interior offices.

Evaluation Criteria
The winning design proposal will be selected based on:
1. Creativity and efficiency in space utilization within the project scope.
2. Originality and effectiveness of solutions to bring the "outside" ambiance into interior offices.
