Cross section for an art deco hotel, as part of some concept work for a client. This was super fun, I enjoyed creating a vision for the building, a boutique and quirky city centre hotel. I went for a strong art deco style, and imagined the building had started as maybe a small department store, then been used as offices before eventually being converted to a hotel by an essentric and well travelled gentleman. #design #architecture #buildingdesign #graphicdesign #cartography #map #artdeco 1/2

Looking at the layout of the penthouse, I have some guesses about the owner:
-While he comes across as extremely open and welcoming, any investigation into his past quickly discovers quite a few mysterious absences of information.
-A stay at the hotel of more than a week will see you invited to dine with him at least once, important and interesting people get more invites.
-He commonly invites people to meet with him in his private lounge, meetings in his office are considered a big deal, (with few ever giving details of said meetings).
-He readily grants access to his library, which has much of interest, (and even more in the many locked cases).
-He hosts, but does not join, regular high-stakes games of cards. Rumors abound of how he does participate in secret games for extreme and unusual stakes, (the rumors range from entire family fortunes and priceless art to literal souls and items of power).
