Here is a section of the east side facade. The small balcony that is cut on the third level faces the Church. This sections shows the relationship of the balcony and the 2nd and 3rd levels. The three windows on the 3rd floor balcony provides sun to the second level and also a preview from the second level to the balcony.
This section of the south side of the building provides view of all three levels. The round platform is a recessed ceiling on the first level.
This section shows is cut through the side facing the New Old Church. Customers are able to review the 2nd level through the 3rd level balcony windows. The spaces are open enough for electronic equipment use.

Nice progress Stacey!
Especially the third section with the overlapping volumes works well.
Here are some first thoughts:
- ground floor seems empty and to high: think about mezzanine levels leading up to the terrace, etc.
- eventually the model should show real walls, floors (thickness)
- roof scape: why so flat?
Nice progress!
Your building is really starting to come together.
My question now turns from the exterior framing to the interior.
How do you frame the interior space? Is this at all in relation to the exterior views?
Also why jamb the stair all the way back to the alley side (if I read the images correctly) of the building? A stair is more of a chance to direct the view of an occupant than perhaps anywhere else in the building. People are set on a fixed path of travel as they walk up the stair. They will always be to the right of the stair facing forward, that's just how we walk in the US.
At a stair landing, as we turn in the direction of travel, you could frame a view that captures a specific moment in time, and then is lost as you turn away to head to the top of the stairs.
There is some potential for interplay with the interior as well.
Your sections show the relationship between the interior and exterior spaces well. The ground floor does seem really empty and high. If the stair was brought out into that space it could create some division to the large space as well as access to a mezzanine level that is clearly visible. Where do you see support spaces going? The open floor plan doesn't do much more mechanical, elevator, restrooms, storage. I am sure we will see more of that in your plans later this week. I would like to see more context and how the windows relate to the views. You have made a ton of progress!
Nice to see the building in 3d. The light and shadows work very good and compliments your design. I also aggree with Steve's comment about the stair, it seem so isolated on that corner. I was wondering, maybe you could use your old "court yard" concept and maybe put the stair right in it. That would certainly bring it to a more promeninet place and also you could use the court yard to bring more natural light to the space. I also would like to see the sections/model in context.
Your computer model realy helps to communicate your design intent. This is a good example of additive versus subtractive space. It will be nice to see how you carry this theme into the interior.
