Prototypical Plan Sketches for Effective Space Design
Create prototypical plan sketches for various spaces; a quick estimation process to understand space needs. Not for client use. Develop bubble diagrams, block plans, and schematic designs for dentist office layout. Quick thumbnail sketches are key.

Process Drawings Matrix, Bubble, and Block Plans Schematic Design
Prototypical Plan Sketches • Experience = Quick estimation • Past projects are guides • Prototypical = generalized sketch • Quick for information only • Will not be set in stone designs • Will need basic knowledge of typical furniture sizes and access to reference manuals • Provides a better understanding of the needs for each space • Not intended for clients use
Team Assignment: • Each team will develop prototypical plan sketches for each of their spaces. • Make sure that the sq. footage we assigned is going to accommodate the FF&E required. • If the space is too large, adjust it so it will not be wasteful. • Include dimensions and all furniture/equipment required in the space.
Criteria Matrix Completed after the plan sketches are finalized. Criteria includes: Sq. Footage Adjacencies Public Access Daylight/View Privacy Plumbing Special Equip Special Considerations
Bubble (relationship) Diagram • Draw circles for each space required • Size of circle should relate to sq. footage • Spaces requiring adjacencies should be close to each other (or touch) • Use connecting lines (graphic symbols) to indicate adjacencies and major circulation. • Should not relate to building shell • Room names and sq. footages indicated • Views, privacy etc. should be indicated. • Must include a legend.
Schematic Plans should be quick – Not on CAD! You will do DOZENS of plans before reaching a solution you will draw in CAD.
