El Pasillo Porticado

The Panama Canal and the archways of Casco Veijo come together in creating the spine of motion in this space. "The Walkway" initiates the visitors experience of the space by seperating servic and entertainment areas while providing focus to the social hub of the interior space and consequently to the exterior. The intricate details of Casco Veijo arches are abstracted into a deliberate explosion of light that also aids in focusing the visitors attention to the entertainment area. 
The main function of this space is to serve as a lobby and lounge for a high end hotel at the new entertainment zone at Panama City, Panama.  The lobby space includes a reception, waiting area, conceirge services, dining area, bar, and a sunken lounge.
