Kate,
There are a lot of good ideas the plans: double- height spaces, flow between programs (open plan), street dining, activation of street facades and they all go together nicely.
Some minor comments:
- the stair could be shaped differently when it's exposed: you could add steps to side towards the green area and insert a generous landing to make it less intimidating in terms of fronal height. Play with it a bit to engage the lower level and ener act with it.
- the elevator in the lobby right at the facade might be better in the back, or if you really want to engage the public space, express it as a volume - it might take you all the way up to the roof level, where you could have a roof garden or some sort of destination.
- The double height spaces have a great potential: next week we'll focus on sections and you'll have the opportunity to study them( light, program on upper edges, adding stairs, etc).
Nice job!
Enno
