The lobby of the tower is important as it serves to connect the tower to the public, and as such is the first interaction that the public of Brisbane have with nanotechnology. Due to this it is important to have access to the public at two points, so that it is easy for them to enter wherever they are in the public space. The lobby has access on both the northern and southern edges, to allow for people to flow through the space in the same path that they would if the lobby was not there. this can be seen on the plan below.
The location of the lobby on the overall plan can be seen below
The enternaces to lobby can be seen below. The doors are made out of glass to encourage interaction with the public, and not make the space feel as private. This can be seen in the 2 first person image below, however the glass does not appear as transparent as I would like
To highlight the public nature of the lobby a balcony has been created from the lobby over the public space below, creating a visual connection between the two spaces. This balcony can be seen below.
As seen in this image the balcony overlooks the bar area of the public space.
