Draft 5 · 15 Nov 2026 · one floor, existing outline only

Where each part of the lounge goes, and why

Built from the owner's pen sketch and the site photos. Nothing goes outside the current outline and nothing goes upstairs. Hover or tap a zone on the plan to see why it sits there.

Front · arrive and drink

Entry, host desk, bar and the standing area. The door and the cash are watched from one spot.

Middle · dance and sit

Dance floor in the column-free bay on the left, sofa lounge on the right as a quiet buffer to the green building.

Back · serve, cook and wash

DJ, washroom, service lobby, kitchen and store, all next to the back door and the outside walls.

Kept from the owner's sketch

  • Kitchen in the top corner
  • DJ at the head of the dance floor
  • Dance floor in the left bay, sofa space on the right
  • Counter next to the entrance
  • Front and back doors where they are now

Changed or added

  • One simple washroom inside the club, top-right corner, sized like the pencil sketch (5)
  • Staff toilet beside the internal stair, reached through the back door (3)
  • Store beside the kitchen (2), service lobby and staff passage (4)
  • Standing area in front of the bar (9), host desk at the entry (11)
  • High tables removed, and one grid row taken out of the middle: the dance floor is one bay and the lounge has two sofa groups (7, 8)

Drawn to approximate scale: 30 ft wide (bays of about 14.4 ft and 11.9 ft plus a 3.7 ft edge strip), rows of 12 to 14 ft from the sketch. Black squares are the existing columns.

The main question

Where the washrooms should go

The owner is unsure about this one, so here are the four realistic places, judged on the same points: do guests stay inside, does it hurt the guest areas, and can it get a drain and an exhaust fan.

Space budget

How the floor is shared out

Areas come from the plan geometry, so they move together if the measurements change.

From the site videos

What the walkthrough shows

  1. It is a bare concrete frame. No walls, rooms, plumbing or wiring yet, so every room position is still free to choose. Nothing has to be demolished to follow this plan.
  2. Every side is open, with pipe railings only. All edges need walls or glass before the space can work as a lounge, and that enclosure doubles as the sound barrier.
  3. Neighbours are very close. The two-storey green building runs along the right side, with doors at this floor's level a few feet away. Low tin-roof homes sit right below the railing on another side. Sound insulation is a must, not an extra.
  4. The internal stair is a shared building stair. It goes up to the next floor and down a brick-walled stairwell. The back door opens onto a shared area, so it needs a proper lockable door.
  5. The floor has low raised kerbs along some column lines. These may mark slab level changes. See the first check below.
  6. The bay sizes look consistent with the sketch, roughly 13 to 16 ft between columns. The ceiling looks about 10 ft to the slab and lower under the beams, but a phone video can't give exact numbers.
Before the 3D model

Six things to confirm on site

  1. Are any bays sunk lower than the rest of the floor? The raised kerbs in the video may mark sunken slab areas, which builders often leave for toilets. If there are any, the washrooms and kitchen should sit on them, and the plan will move to match.
  2. Measure the column spacing and the ceiling height. This plan assumes 30 ft wide overall, with rows of about 12 to 14 ft from the sketch. Measure to the underside of the slab and to the underside of a beam.
  3. Can a new drain pipe run down the outside wall at the top-right corner? If not, the washroom drain runs along the back wall to the stair side. The layout stays the same either way.
  4. Is the cut-out at the top right open air or a neighbour's wall? The washrooms need at least one outside wall for an exhaust fan. The right edge gives a second option.
  5. Which side are the tin-roof homes on? The green building is confirmed on the right, behind the lounge, so the right wall gets the heaviest insulation. If the homes turn out to be behind the bar or the DJ, those walls get the same treatment.
  6. Fire safety. A bar needs a fire NOC. The plan keeps two exits at opposite ends with clear paths to both. The fire office may also ask for extinguishers, exit signs and emergency lights.
