PROJECT 3: Art Gallery - Changes?

After the critique I received last Thursday, I have quickly reconsidered some of the spaces in my art gallery/house:

- Second Floor: Removal of the two stairs leading from the first floor to the second. There is no point in having them there since the second floor is private use only and not public. The art dealer has his own staircase to get to the second floor (one is sufficient rather than have three).

- If I were to keep those two staircases, then I would need to create more gallery space on the second floor. However I don't like that idea because i) there will be too much gallery space, ii) there will no longer be a clear distinction between private and public spaces(which I initially wanted), iii) the private area might be too "restricted"

- Since the space will be cleared and bigger, I have considered the inclusion of a kitchen area/dining room/living room area to replace the stairs - that way the kitchen on the first floor will be dedicated to only the public (instead of being of both public and private use).

- Ground level: reconsider the maze-like walls and their widths. Perhaps widen the space between the walls but keep the towering walls.
