Final Floorplans

Various layouts focusing mainly on the admission area on the left and how the space can be used to enhance the space and attempt to solve or improve the queuing problems.

 Final floorplans of the furniture layout. The admission area has been seperated from the gift shop as this will be more formal and is clearer for customers entering the building. With 3 seperate tills in this area, it will improve queuing from having only 2 tills for admissions and the gift shop.

Projector layout

A layout of how the projectors will be set up. The projectors are attached to the ceiling and are at equal distances from the walls either side. At 4 metres away from the walls, the image size is 200 width x 150 height on for both projectors. Although the projectors arnt set up in the centre of the entrance doors, as they hung on the ceiling, this wont make much difference and both pictures will be of equal size and clarity.

Sketches

Some quick sketches of the layout and colour scheme of the admission area and the shop shelving.

Interior signage

Signs Express custom make reception and directional signs. Some examples of these:

Five signs need to be made for the space, these are:
1. Welcome
2. Entrance/ Exhibition Entrance
3. Gift Shop
4. Thank you for visiting
5. Fossil Walks

Examples of what these may look like are as follows.

Bespoke desk

This bespoke desk is designed with the customer in mind. Clearly showing that it is for admissions, this also looks quite formal. A price list and the museum logo can be inserted into the black frames on the side of the desk. Having the price list in the front of the desk will be affective as it will be in clear view of the customer and will be out of the way in a small space with high traffic volumes going through at times. The stripes round the bottom of the desk is in keeping with the main design of the room which will make it flow well through the room.

The back of the desk has been divided into 3 compartments which can be used to store files and useful information for staff such as current vouchers and deals etc. The top compartment can be used to tidy away the electronics for the till.  The front of the desk is raised enough so the till is more protected and only a small amount of the till is visable from the front.

Clarke Rendell design various furniture for commercial spaces. They also custom make furniture, inparticular they make bespoke reception desks. Therefore this company would be able to custom make my design of the admission/ fossil walk desks.
