HOTEL COLORADO PARKING
Challenge: The City of Glenwood Springs along with Hotel Colorado commissioned Leggitt Studio to generate quick design options for a 400 car parking garage adjacent to the historic hotel. Jim Leggitt was asked to develop three different facade design concepts for the parking structure and illustrate each option from different angles.
Solution: Jim Leggitt created a 3D SketchUp model of the parking garage options using topographic data supplied by the civil engineers. The hotel already had a detailed 3D SketchUp model of the historic building which was integrated into to the model. Jim then exported high resolution images from the three computer models, printed the views on 11”x17” bond paper and illustrated directly on each print with a fine point pen, color markers and colored pencils. The six renderings were scanned and added to a presentation document for the Glenwood Springs City Council to review.
