This is an aerial view of the interior of the nightclub that shows the dining area on the mezzanine level and the commercial kitchen in the rear. I tried to have the mezzanine overlook the DJ booth and the bar below which gives people a good view of how chic the club can be.

This is the final floor plan for the first floor of my nightclub design...I have created the layout in more detailed form.

Gavin_FirstFloorPlan_Changes_Again

Here is an amended first floor plan again, what I decided to do is to create a certain curve at the front side of the building which takes the pattern of the floor plan design. People will be able to go outside at that area to enjoy the views of the water or to dine on a nice evening.

The first floor plan has now a more free design. I got rid of the rigidity of the previous layout.
