This sounds really great. It looks like it is all coming together very well. Good Job!

Our floor will be concrete with laminate wood. The second story is suroounded by tempured glass and the lobby walls will just be painted except for the lobby; two walls in the lobby will be tiles, and one of them will be a mosiac-like make of the existing flags in our cafeteria. The lounge downstairs will just be painted as well. We hope the feel of the new cafeteria will be a brighter and more exciting environment compared to our cafeteria right now. Our cafeteria right now do not have much color, so we plan to add more color and life to our new cafeteria.

Our new cafeteria will be 140 feet by 80 feet excluding the deck section. The deck part would also have a radius of 100 feet. Our maximum capacity will be approximately 1,500 students.

Your videos look really nice. They help to get a feel for the space. Have you thought about finishes yet? Finishes will also help enhance how you want the users of the space to feel, On the floor are you thinking carpeting? Wood? Cork? Does it need to be easy to maintain for student use? What about colors? I see that you've started thinking about color using the sketchup model, but have you explored textures? Are the walls just going to be painted sheetrock or will have another applied finish on it such as tile or metal panels? Will the look and feel of the space be similar to the existing cafeterial or will it is be something completely different and sparate? From what I can see, the feel of it seems very different from the existing cafeteria, but will look simiar in terms of color and material?

Thank You for the help jmasengarb. I changed the dimensions, i hope you can see them. 3 new videos are up :)!

Awesome Beyond Imagination.. you are leading the rest with your video. I hope you are able to enlarge it. You have some new feedback to make comments on.
Also.. add in pictures as you begin completing the model.

Our maximum capacity and dimensions are mentioned in the final description.

The pictures that you took of the current cafeteria really show how small it is.

I live all your ideas that you have put into the design. The lounge areas are big enough for the students to hang out at. Am still wondering if there is going to be any separation for the lunch lines. Another thing is that you should show how your garden is going to look like.

Love your new video fly-through model. I think it is the first one we've had posted here at TAH2! I'm trying to figure out why it appears so small, though. Is it a problem with the online system or with the way you saved and formatted it? Please go back and make sure the ratio of the video is 16:9. The max width and max height of the player is 580px by 326px. After you check that, can you trying removing it and reloading a new version? Let's see what happens... Thanks.
