More Floor Plans for Airport

These are some developed floor plans deciding on the layout of my airport/ hotel. I have decided on the most important aspects to include and laid these out appropriately. I want quite a spacious feel in my airport so I’m trying not to squash too much into each room. I will develop these further by creating floor plans in Adobe Illustrator and decide on scale whilst making them so I can start to build upon these to create my model.

I may have the same shape building as below around the other side of the mountain for check in and check out to have seperate sections, therefore it won’t get confusing with people arriving and leaving for the planes.

I have been working on a layout for my hotel lobby. I want it very spacious with just a check in desk. There will be a nice lounge area with some art scultpures around. I have decided to have a grand staircase which will open up the second floor of the hotel as well creating a much more airy feel.

The second floor of the hotel will have the rooms in but I want to be able to keep it spacious and minimalistic like the rest of the airport. I struggled with the drawing below so I have decided to attach the rooms to the outside of the shape and have them as pod-like shapes sticking out the side of the building as you can see in the last drawing.

Furniture and Interior Ideas for Airport

I want the furniture and interior of my airport to be very surreal and unusual. I will take inspiration from artists to design interesting features whilst still keeping the classic and beautiful feel I am going for. I will be using Dali and Magritte for inspiration for the furniture.


I am planning to create a lift which looks like a tux. The arms will be animated and open the tux to reveal the inside of the lift, instead of having usual doors.
I want to include a number of old fashioned items as furniture and in the restrooms I want to have the mirrors as monocles.

Initial Floor Plan Ideas for Airport/Hotel

My airport will contain a number of entertainment activities as it will be a holiday destination within itself. There will be a large building for the airport, one for hotel and three smaller buildings with a range of activities in. Here are my initial floor plan ideas and sketches.

Airport on a Mountain

My airport will be situated on the top of a snowy mountain in the middle of nowhere. People will visit this airport and stay in it’s hotel to experience the incredible views from the glass walls.

Tea Bag Character

Storyboard

Here is my hand drawn storyboard outlining the basic story and some camera direction. I will follow this quite closely when creating my animation and may even break some bits down a bit further in order to plan out the actions clearer for me to animate in 3ds max.

Robot Character

I started off with the basic robot from the seminars and looked at the shapes and segments so I could alter these and make my own robot.

I decided to keep the robot quite simple but to give it some key features which made it my own robot and give it a bit of a personality. I’m hoping to create a very similar model to my sketches and hopefully the segments will work so I can rig it up in the same way as the robot above.

Animation Ideas

I brainstormed ideas for my animation and what can happen in it. I wanted to have a little story behind it in order to make it a bit more interesting, which is why I have been looking into Tom and Jerry.

I will follow this up with a storyboard of my animation breaking it down to the key frames.
