-
Yes it did Edson very much thank You.
I am writing down all Your suggestions
on paper geting ready for the first
meeting hopefully end of the week.
No sketches yet just some brainstorming
and we will see in which direction this
will go.
Thanks again,

Hello matteo,
I did a beachbarproject on a Greek island not so long ago.
Remember these projects are all about atmosphere and if the present location is sufficient it is not a big problem to make something nice
I will attach some examples
If you want more , just let me know
Succes

Bert,
The layout and the design looks really interesting.
Thanks for sharing.
I would really like to see the final images of the
finished project if they are available. -
Thanks,Im writing it all down.

Hum....good one.
Four you say. How about one for each different occasion.
One for the single life person looking to get away and maybe do some social activity.
One for the romantic married couple on a honeymoon or anniversary.
One for the married couple with children. Kid friendly design but educational about the area they are in.
One for the retired couple looking to relax as they travel the world after they have completed the top three above.lol.

Thanks a lot Scotty,
Well to tell You the truth we are all on the edge. There comes a time when all is going great and before You know
it You are down the hill again. -
Hi all.
I would go with what Edson Mahfuz said, its a good idea to have themed places, but you have the risk of making weird places that look more like amusement parks attractions.
When you are doing tourist targeted places one of the most important things to know is what's the target costumers. Is it for old people, young people, rich people, poor people, international tourists, local tourists? all these expect very different things, and that will have a great impact on the project. For example international tourists expect to see more of the local culture, while some local tourists like to imagine that they are in other places.
My suggestion is to find your main target costumers and start from there.Hope this helps.

I like the way both Scotty and Elysium seem to approach this. One technique to develop the kinds of profiles they write about is to create a story. A literal story. Think of who will use the facilities -- they are your characters. Think of the feelings you want them to experience. Set the scenes necessary for them to have those experiences. The exercise can quickly translate into ideas about how the project should take form and give you confidence in the direction you take it. It can also give you useful ideas about how to explain the design to others. The technique works well with almost any kind of design project but especially ones that focus on an 'experiential' aspect. It also allows you to add to the story other characters with unique perspectives that can also inform. For instance, in your 'story' additional characters to consider might be staff or the disabled.
The technique can very quickly draw out of you creative ideas and can be a great tool for soliciting useful input from others. Tell them the story and get there input on making it better. One good thing about the technique is that it draws from imagination - informed by experience but not governed by it. It can help you design things about which you have no direct experience. You don't have to write it down if you don't want - the story is just a tool. A fun tool. Smile

Hi Guys. Don't forget what might also lie beyond the beach. The fact that one beach is a good jump off point for a dive site/marine reserve makes a whole lot of difference, and can influence what story it could give. The impact or influence of culture or its artifacts, usually via the adjacent town or historic site (as alluded to in previous posts), is another thing.
As for the genius loci, I totally agree. Nothing makes an experience more enduring than discovering, revealing its intrinsic magic.
Though reality dictates that we can't be purists...you might, maybe will, have to provide for "conflicting" beach side activities...jet ski and wave runners as opposed to snorkling and marine protection....but then, therein lies the art of environmental design!
Cheers!

Finally I found this thread..
Two hours ago we completed the preliminary design presentation in
front of a larger auditorium. The reactions to the design proposed
were more than positive, so we are to continue with the project.
I am really glad with this outcome especialy due to the fact that we only
had ten days to do the design and to prepare the presentation . The
coastline we had to draw and design was about 1200 m long. I was afraid
that the machine wouldnt be able to cope with all the detail so I had to
make from scratch most of the low polly stuff myself .
First I started placing neatly in layers and as the time approached
I just placed randomly everything I could get my hands on.The presentation was directly in shown on a large screen from SU.
The investors looked at the Acad drawings for less than five minutes
And then allready used to our style of presentation said. Ok leave that
Now, we want to see it in 3D.
for SUI would like to share with You some of the images of that presentation.
More will follow as the project continues.Thanks for Your imput so far.
And thanks for watching.Cheers,
Mateo

Here are some more.

Thanks James,
It took me some time . I didnt count the hours, its better that I didnt.

And the presentation was done straight out of SketchUp?
There wasnt time for anything else but in the end it turned out great.

Beautiful project, and a great opportunity for you. It's good to here that Sketchup output is a good presentation tool.
Sve naj bolje,

Mateo,
Congratulation (soccer victory) and CONGRATULATIONS for the good presentation and what follows.
I really like the style, very relaxed, unlike the houres that you put into it!
Amusing to read about the Acad<>Sketchup issue.
Thanks for sharing and looking forward to more images.Wo3Dan

The project is too interesting from my concern lot of things are there to add in to it.Well i guess most of the thing you has worked out.The extra's are you can go fitting umbrellas for protecting you from the sun rays and you can enjoy yourself onto the beach by having cold drinks beside you.
