2012 national competition project #076 | cafeteria redesign
Interior axonometric of the redesigned cafeteria. The kitchen is exposed to the entire cafeteria and leads the line in an orderly fashion away from the busy main eating area. Placed near the window and is central to the plan, the kitchen defines the main purpose of the cafeteria. A large elevated space can act as a seating area and also provides booths for more private group gatherings. This space can be doubled as a stage when extracurricular activities such as guest speeches and performances are made. To the right of the plan is another elevated space which offers more solitude from the busy main eating area. To the left is the exterior eating area that features uniquely shaped seating incorporated within a garden and an exposed view to the outdoors.

This is a very nice development in CAD- since you love perspective, I'd suggest setting your view to perspective rather than isometric. It is more dynamic and much closer to the way we actually see. I don't know if you have the digital skills to add arrows into your drawing but it would be great to see call outs and annotations as well as arrows to 'walk' us through the space. Your description is thorough but try to merge that into the visuals without it becoming overcrowded.
I can see that you have successfully incorporated elements conceived of in the earlier phases into your final design. I do not understand though where the kitchen is or its size. If the drawing had more detail or labels then some of these doubts could be clarified. Hopefully you can eventually find ways to bring a similar richness into your cad drawings that you have in your hand drawn sketches. For example you may want to eventually try bringing your computer perspectives into Photoshop to collage in people or add color and texture. You could also print out line drawings from the computer and add color and detail by hand. Also don't forget how important the inclusion of plans, sections, and elevations are in completing the story of the space being described.
