Loving Community Space for Workshops and Events

Room2Connect

R2C is a loving community focused on the exploration and practices to bring more aliveness to your feelings of love, connection, growth, contribution, and play.

The building is approx 4200 square feet with an approx 4200 square foot parking lot.
*** The building is a right angle trapezoid with the longest wall being 93' and the dividing wall to the building next to it being 83'

ROOF slopes from parking lot wall at 14' to opposite wall at 12'

**** building address is
2111 W. Clarendon Dr.
Dallas TX 75208

The new design should include the following:
Two large spaces for workshops, yoga, and other events ( one space should be bigger than the other, approx 900-1500 each)

Final Round Please note
No reception area-- This is to be a common area for people to stand/sit and talk ( the workshop sign-in will be with a person on an iPad - they will not have a desk )
*** Bathroom should be gender-neutral, located from entry area accessible by all rooms ( this needs design work still )
*** change full kitchen will have no door or a sliding door
***STUDIO/ apartment WITH BATHROOM is to be located on the North Wall, where the current exit door and window face street.
***The entrance to be on the parking lot side. Entrance to open to a common area, all rooms to be accessed from the common area.
***there are several steel columns within the building, these are to be wrapped in wood or drywall and painted
*** Where possible and aesthetically pleasing try to use the block wall of the building ( the building was built in 1930 and the blocks are smaller than the cinder blocks used today and have character). +++ ACTUAL PHOTOS OF WALL TODAY WILL BE POSTED
For new wall construction, I am open to wood, drywall, faux brick or polycarbonate depending on aesthetic.

Feeling loving, open, warm, welcoming

Final round: in this brief, you will find the layout of the rooms, I am open to changing their size but not their location.

The common area: should is for sitting and standing for guests ( the check-in person will be on an iPad ) nice to have: I envision the common area promoting people sitting and standing in front of one another ( perhaps the walls are slightly curved almost pushing people in towards one another with seating on the wall and facing the wall)

Exterior: entrance to be shaded with a wood slot patio type cover this will extend from entrance to end of building in front of large studio space approx 25' x 15' ( the use of plants and outdoor seating would be nice )
