Guest Kitchen and Dining Room 300
There is a guest kitchen, similar to a residential kitchen where guests can cook small meals to offset the cost of traveling. It will have the basic appliances and cabinets as a residential kitchen – Range, Sink, Dishwasher, Refrigerator, and microwave. This kitchen should also accommodate seating for a group of ten guests.
Exterior Space
The use of roofs for recreation and relaxation is highly encouraged. Part of the roof must be developed as a roof terrace.
Additional Areas
Additional spaces can be added to the upper floors as deemed important to your hostel. These could be lounge areas for gathering or working. We want to minimize the amount of time that is spent upstairs to encourage the guest to gather in the Phase 1 project on the lower levels.
Support Areas
Linen closets, laundry rooms, Housekeeping rooms can/should be added to each floor. These can be smaller rooms/closets to support the larger spaces in the lower levels.
