I'm looking for an experienced and efficient architect or planner who can design a well-researched, detailed project for a hotel resort dedicated to both adult and child activities. The main focus is on children's activities, however, the resort facilities should also accommodate adults.
Short concept details:
We own a 115.000 sqm land together with around 10.000 sqm already built surfaces (hotel, restaurant, SPA, bistro, gym, indoor cinema, etc.). The concept of our complex is based on the idea of complementarity. The focus of the business will be permanently oriented towards offering our guests high-quality services, as we all want. At the same time, our focus will be on attracting as many guests as possible from among children between the ages of 3-4 and up to the age of 14-15 and even high school students. This objective of ours would mean the main source and also the most important source of income. The complex will include functions and activities intended for both children and adults. During the summer holidays (June 15-September 15), the complex can accommodate over 600 children and 80 adults (teachers or chaperones) simultaneously. Going to camps lasting 5 days, practically, we will accommodate, every summer season, up to 10,800 children and up to 1440 adults, teachers or companions. The complementarity comes to the point where, in the remaining 9 months of the year remaining available, we can organize many complementary events, using practically the same staff structure, the same club facilities, the same accommodation capacities. Specifically, the vision is to be able to organize the following:
- Themed day trips for children throughout the year
- 5-7 day themed camps for children throughout the summer
- Sports camps throughout the whole year
- Sports competitions throughout the whole year
- Adult themed camps (retreats, weight loss camps, meditation and yoga camps, etc.) throughout the year
- Business events (team building, trainings, conferences, product launches, etc.) throughout the year
- Private events (weddings, baptisms, anniversaries, birthdays, parties, etc.) throughout the year
Our objectives are to generate desirability and to be a place where everyone wants to go and spend time with friends, family, colleagues, a place where service and attention will be at the highest standards, where the focus will be each individual and we want any of those who will cross our threshold to be extremely pleased with the experience. We want to offer unforgettable experiences, to pay attention to details, to pay attention to each guest and his needs, to offer the complete package of services so that everything our guests will find there offers an experience worthy of telling and unforgettable. We are advantaged by a strategic position, very close to the country's capital, Bucharest, and thus, we can reach extremely many target audience segments.
Within the complex, inside the existing buildings, we will have the following facilities/spaces for activities:
- Reception
- Waiting room
- Cafe/bar/brasserie/bistro + terrace
- Workshop for activities (painting, ceramic workshop, carpentry, tailoring, music, etc.)
- Lego land room
- Artificial salt room
- SPA Center (dry sauna, steam bath, recovery pool)
- Activity room (gaming room, focus groups, etc.)
- Professional kitchen
- Restaurant
- Gym
- Indoor cinema
- Event hall with stage

Another 8000sqm are available but are separated by a secondary road from the whole campus. It's prefered not to take them into consideration unless we have no choice and we need more area. So, the total surface it's 115.000sqm but i would prefer to do it in the 107.000 sqm surface that is grouped together)
b.1. black and white ground plan with separate floor plans for gazebos/pavilions/buildings
b.2. same as b.1. but with dimensions
b.3. coloured 2d master plan
c. 3D master plan with renders/photorealistic images and videos of each area
c.1. 3D master plan renders
c.2. photorealistic renders images for each area/activity + bird/aeria view of the campus
c.3. videos for each area/activity + general campus video
Child-friendly facilities throughout the resort that we need to design are the following:
1. An indoor and outdoor playground
2. Outdoor car* route for traffic education (*we will not use actual cars but small electric vehicles for kids)
3. Outdoor adventure park
4. Creative workshops cabanas/pergolas
5. Zoo and botanical garden
6. Gazebos/pavilions with barbeque/summer kitchen designed to be used for parties both kids and adults
7. Mini-golf tracks
8. 4 tennis courts

10. ATV and motocross dirt track

19. Parking lots and drive through alleys
20. Bar/terrace for drinks and relaxation

The desired architectural style is the classical modern. Combining a classical country club/golf club atmosphere with the childish, colorful and joyful areas, we want to inspire a recreational, simple and relaxed mood with effortless access to facilities. Therefore, you must have the ability to merge functionality and modern design. Your proposal should reflect an understanding of the specific requirements and your ability to deliver a comprehensive master plan suitable for our unique needs. Experience in designing similar projects would be highly beneficial.

Deliverables:
- a 2d plan with dimensions (*pdf, tiff) (b.1., b.2.)
- a 2d coloured plan (as a resort map) (*pdf, tiff) (b.3.)
- a 3d coloured plan (as a resort map) (*pdf, tiff) (c.1.)
- photorealistic renders for all exterior areas (HQ JPEG) (see the 21 areas described above) (c.2.)
- photorealistic renders for some interior areas (HQ JPEG) (pavilions, gazebos, cabanas, indoor playground, bar/terrace, indoor swimming pool, events center, toilets, locker/dressing rooms). From the existing buildings, we only need the restaurant that is connected with the outside terrace, the braserie/bistro (also connected with the terrace) and 3 types of rooms (c.2.) (5-10 renders for each activity area + 20 renders for general campus)
- presentation video with the exterior areas of the campus (c.3.) (one video for each activity area + one general video)
NOTE 1: all the source file will be delivered at the end in order for a milestone to be completed
NOTE 2: all the buildings stay in the same position - we cannot move or change the building position on site, we cannot change the building volumes, doors and windows. We can make decorations on the exterior walls and we can make them look nicer but we cannot move the buildings. We can add more buildings (gazebos, activity pavilions, the indoor swimming pool pavilion, the garden bar+terrace, stables for animals, garages and other features).
NOTE 3: we cannot change the location for the 4 clay tennis courts and the soccer field.
NOTE 4: all the garden should be "instagramable". Everywhere you place yourself in the garden, should be a great place to take a picture and place it on social media
NOTE 5: we want to have and include in our garden special kind of elements. We need someone that will focus on details and provide us with a spectacular garden.
NOTE 6: the alleys in the complex should be easy to use also for walking, cycling, pedal karting, running. (*as i wrote earlier, it's important for us to be able to have educational courses for kids regarding traffic signs, road education, safe and defensive road walking/driving so, we can use these alleys to do that and make the alleys be the car route for traffic education with traffic stops and traffic signs and painted roads (see the legoland track in Germany - it has this kind of activity for kids)
NOTE 7 - VERY IMPORTANT: for clarity and for not having any misunderstandings, i require that you provide a sample of quality work (*from other projects, it does not even needs to be yours) before we get into a contract. For each type of file that needs to be delivered, i want to have a sample upfront. This file that you will provide before starting working on my project will be the file that will clear the exact quality that the final files will be provided and will be a comparison at the end. The milestone can be considered final at the moment you provide the deliverables at the promised quality.
NOTE 8: i take into consideration the portfolio that each freelancer is providing. if you have other portfolio jobs that are relevant to our project, please feel free to send them to me in order to have a better image of your work quality.
NOTE 9 - VERY, VERY IMPORTANT: I value very much the personal involvement, the creativity and the attention to details for each area that we design. it's very important to me that we do a project that is different, that is better than other such resorts.
