We are going to check back in on our Castle Pines Refuge Project. This project has hit a few road bumps but we are finally finishing up our Bid Package which includes the Finish Floor Plans and Interior Elevations. All of the great value engineering materials (see our previous post here) have been put into the Revit Model and by rendering in the cloud we can have almost real-time visualizations to review how the spaces will look and feel. Is there enough light? Is the space warm enough? Are the materials working together?
Check out some of the spaces below:
This is an interior rendering of the Cafe space. Located directly above the lobby and adjacent to the main pool decks this is a space designed to allow the user the opportunity to enhance their spa experience and enjoy quick healthy juices and meals.This interior view is from the staircase leading from the Men’s locker room up to the pool deck. It’s vaulted ceiling and open viewing opportunities provides a nice juxtaposition from their sub-terranean changing areas. Let there be light!This is the towel station and functions as a transition space between the rear massage area and nordic pool decks. With the value engineering changes, the space is reading a little cold and lacks the warmth of the other areas. We will be taking another interior pass at this one!Adjacent to the top level of the massage rooms we have a large vaulted relaxation space. The full-height store-front window system provides a view of the pool decks below as well as access to the uppermost pool deck level for some privacy.Here is a view of the primary pool deck looking towards an open-air relaxation pavilion and the furthest development on the site, Building F. The development is nestled into a hillside and we are trying to keep as many existing pine trees as possible to really enhance the privacy of the exterior spaces.On the other side of the open-air relaxation pavilion, we can see the lowest level pool deck. The primary feature on this level is the large natural boulder retaining wall.Entering Building F, we can see this transitional space allowing you to move through the lower level and up to the second level where there are relaxation areas and a steam room. The storefront system to the right allows for great light into the space and views to the pool decks.The final space we are going to look at is the top-most relaxation area. It is slightly higher than the one in Building A and features a central fire feature. The storefront system on all sides and the vaulted space makes it feel light, bright and comfortable.
