Contest Brief

**Project Overview:**

I own a hotel and am planning a renovation of a **2,500 sq ft lobby**. I need **accurate, buildable 3D renderings** based on the **existing floor plan and real photos**.

This is a **real renovation project**, and the renderings will be used for **brand approval (Best Western / Executive Residency)**. The design must reflect **actual conditions, correct layout, and realistic construction feasibility**.

Property is located in a **mid-sized U.S. airport market**, competing with newer Hampton and Fairfield properties.

---

**CRITICAL LAYOUT REQUIREMENTS (MUST FOLLOW):**

* There is **ONE main entrance (front vestibule)**
* When entering:

* You walk straight and see a **divider wall directly ahead**
* If you turn RIGHT → **front desk / registration**
* If you turn LEFT → **seating / TV area**

The layout MUST match the provided plan and photos.

**Do NOT:**

* Add extra entrances
* Move or recenter the front desk
* Change the overall layout or flow
* Create a symmetrical layout that does not match the real space

---

**PROJECT GOALS:**

Create a lobby that feels:

* Modern
* Warm and inviting
* Clean and uncluttered
* Competitive with newer hotel builds

**Competitive Positioning:**

* Competes with Hampton Inn and Fairfield Inn (newer builds)
* Should feel:

* As clean and modern as Hampton
* Warmer and more inviting than Fairfield
* Updated and competitive for an airport hotel market

---

**EXISTING CONDITIONS (MUST BE RESPECTED):**

* Tile flooring will REMAIN (do not replace)
* Flooring tile will remain, but designers are free to change, add, or remove area rugs and carpet as needed.
* Front desk must remain in the **same general location (right side after entry)**
* Divider wall must remain (should be enhanced, not removed)
* Rear entrance / rear vestibule MUST remain

---

**DESIGN DIRECTION (GUIDELINES, NOT RESTRICTIONS):**

The lobby should feel **cohesive with guest room and exterior renovations**, but does NOT need to exactly match them.

* Overall palette should be:

* warm neutrals
* soft, natural tones
* subtle green or taupe undertones are acceptable

* The design should feel:

* modern and timeless
* warm and inviting
* not overly bold or trendy

* Exterior includes darker accent elements; these can be reflected subtly through:

* metal accents
* lighting fixtures
* furniture details

Dark tones should be used **sparingly for contrast**, not as a dominant color.

---

**KEY DESIGN FOCUS AREAS:**

**1. Divider Wall (Primary Feature)**

* First visual element when entering
* Should become a strong focal point
* Suggested approaches: wood slats, texture, lighting

**2. Front Desk (Secondary Feature)**

* Must remain in the same general location
* Designers are encouraged to:

* redesign the desk form and materials
* simplify and modernize the current structure
* improve lighting and guest interaction

**3. Entry Experience**

* Clean, open path from entrance
* No clutter or visual obstruction
* Strong visual direction into the lobby

**4. Seating Area (Left Side)**

* Comfortable and intentional
* Supports guest relaxation and social use

---

**ADDITIONAL AREAS (INCLUDE BUT DO NOT RELOCATE):**

The lobby includes additional functional zones that must remain in place:

* Bar / Social Area
* Breakfast / Serving Area
* Market / Grab & Go Area
* Rear Entrance / Rear Vestibule

These areas should:

* Remain in their current locations
* Not be structurally changed or relocated
* Be visually updated to feel cohesive with the overall design

**Design Intent for These Zones:**

* **Bar Area:** inviting and social, encourages guest use, modern but not overly high-end
* **Breakfast Area:** clean, bright, organized, improved seating and finishes
* **Market / Grab & Go Area:** clean, well-lit, and organized; easy to navigate; visually appealing and integrated with the lobby (not an afterthought); should encourage guest purchases
* **Rear Entrance:** simple, clean, and consistent with overall design

The primary focus should remain on the main lobby experience and entrance view.

---

**WHAT TO AVOID:**

* Overly dark or heavy designs
* Cold, all-gray interiors
* Unrealistic luxury concepts
* Changing structural layout
* Blocking or narrowing entrance flow

---

**DELIVERABLES REQUIRED:**

1. View from entrance (MOST IMPORTANT – must match provided photo angle)
2. View toward front desk (right side)
3. View toward seating area (left side)

All renders must reflect **accurate proportions and layout**.

---

**FILES PROVIDED:**

* Floor plan (PDF)
* Real photos of lobby (including entrance view)

---

**IMPORTANT NOTE:**

This is a real-world renovation.
Designs that are **accurate, buildable, and aligned with the existing layout** will be strongly preferred over purely conceptual designs.

---

**FUTURE WORK OPPORTUNITY:**

The winner may be hired for additional work, including:

* Guest room Kitchen redesign
* Exterior concepts
* Guest room refinements

---

**Goal:**

Deliver a lobby design that improves:

* First impression
* Guest experience
* Overall competitiveness in the local market

---

Thank you — I am looking for thoughtful, realistic, and high-quality design work.

    What specific design aesthetic, brand standard, or color palette must be adhered to for this property update?

    Which specific camera angles or zones (e.g., front desk, breakfast seating, or the bar/vestibule) are the highest priority for the final high-resolution 3D renders?

    Does the scope of work strictly involve furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) replacement, or are there structural and layout modifications required beyond the provided 2016 floor plan?

    #84 , #85 ,The goal of this proposal is to demonstrate how an outdated hotel common area can be transformed into a fresher, more refined, and more commercially appealing environment without losing realism or buildability. The result is a renovation vision that feels more current, more comfortable, and more aligned with contemporary hospitality expectations.

    Hi, do you have any more photos of the main entrance? Will the double doors stay? I'd also like to talk to you about some of the spaces that are missing names on the floor plan.

    Hello, I hope you’re doing well.

    I’ve carefully reviewed your hotel lobby renovation brief and understand the importance of accuracy for brand approval.

    I will create realistic, buildable 3D renders strictly based on your existing layout, floor plan, and photos.

    The entrance flow, divider wall, and front desk position will be followed exactly—no structural changes.

    My design will focus on a modern, warm, and inviting atmosphere suitable for a competitive airport market.

    I will enhance key areas like the divider wall, front desk, and seating while maintaining feasibility.

    Additional zones (bar, breakfast, market, rear entrance) will remain in place and be visually updated.

    You will receive high-quality renders from entrance, right (front desk), and left (seating) views.

    I prioritize accuracy, realism, and brand-aligned design to ensure approval success.

    Best regards,
    Nishan Shaikh
