Contest Brief

This is a contest to design a unique hotel layout on 3 floors only with a maximum height of 40 feet. This hotel will be different in that it should feel like a contemporary mansion with different wings. This contemporary mansion will be a total of three floors including the ground floor which will be mostly parking. This would be built on a lot (plot) where three sides should have windows. One side touches another property so if there are windows along and they would have to be recessed back at least 6 feet. See image of actual property. The wings of the mansion should feel large with a minimum 8 foot wide corridor. It should Not feel like a typical hotel where you have a long corridor but instead different private wings. The third-floor could have a glass atrium with light shining down into the third-floor and a little bit can even go onto the second floor or 1st. That’s where you can be creative with the openings. You can also have the “lobby” on the third floor. The middle side area of the upper floors should feel like living rooms with chairs and activities. Again this needs to feel like home and not a hotel. I am attaching a sample layout of the property as well as some sample ideas that I had. Please do not just copy what I have made. The goal would be to have up to 60 rooms of various sizes in this mansion. You can utilize corners to make guestrooms with two bedrooms as shown. Each room would be like a hotel room with enough space for it’s own bathroom with minimum 3 x 5 shower plus sink & toilet. See attached typical hotel room layout. The rooms can be smaller too. Use your creative juices!

    I have extended this contest for 5 days so I can give comments and feedback. Please look at the site layout, the area enclosed in blue is where I can build. Some people drew the plan on the wrong side. Secondly, the building can only be 3 total stories,no more. Ground floor can have parking. Finally, the entry of vehicles can only come from the side of the alley or along Aliso Street on the right hand side.

      There is no total floor area restriction. There should be a 5 foot setback on the back of the property along the alley. The front and sides do not need any setback.

      This is a sealed contest so no one will see what you have drawn. It is also a guaranteed contest so you cannot wait until the end to upload as I have to award a winner by the end of contest. Please send now. Floorplans should be sent and then rendering can be done after I provide feedback on the floorplan. Thank you!

    I’ve uploaded a picture of a typical hotel room. They are generally 12 x 26 feet. Our design does not have to be that way

    I have uploaded a picture of the physical site itself. Remember this is a small lot. Some of the good ideas are basically having a “living room and kitchen” on the top/ 3rd floor utilizing a small portion of the front for natural light. Again we are trying to maximize the space and number of rooms without making it feel too cramped. Thanks

      a hotel layout is a high skill experience architecture, very specific, even if we create the feeling of being in a mansion, IS a Hotel with rooms, and all the infrastucture necesary to maintain int, adecuated to its tiny size. If you do not seal it, I feel it will become a copy+little improve. There is a lot of knowledge involved, I have to agree with Cheegeet #guaranteed #increaseprize and #sealed

    We are trying to be very efficient with space as this is a small lot. In the picture that just looks like three boxes is a two bedroom unit that you could put in one of the corners.
