Some general comments made to the group today that you should think about:
Support: Walls have a thickness need to be min. 300mm thick to play a structural role. If your building looks like it's made of paper or cardboard, you'll need to correct this.
Light: How do you get light into the different spaces?? Have a look at the examples of gallery spaces on our group blog and look at how light is admitted to the space and where it comes from - an opening in the roof, high up in the wall, down through a multiple-height space.
Scale: Consider the size of a human in your model in comparison to the size of the spaces. As a rule, a studio space should have a ceiling height of about 4-5 metres max. There may be some areas in the studio where the ceiling height could be smaller, to a minimum of 2.4 metres.
The gallery space can have a higher ceiling height, between 4 and 6 metres. This will establish some sense of hierarchy between the each of your studio spaces and the gallery space.
