Elevations

After doing some research on materials. I decided to have zinc wall panels in an orthagonal grid system. I like the straight line pattern instead of the staggered look. For the base and core material, I decided to go with black slate brick. I think the bluish gray coloring of the zinc panels would go very well with the black stone look for the base. When you are inside the building especially the pool area you will see the black slate base wrapping around the central core. I played around with the coloring because black slate is not just black, its a mixture of grays so the elevations represent that. I think it looks very interesting. I will continue working on the interior elevations as well.

Daytime exploration

I'm still thinking about the back wall condition.

Materiality Test

I did a quick night time elevation exploration to show my ideas about materiality. I chose a medium to dark grey brick that I want to be semi glossy and metal for the "pediment". The dark materials might make the project seem heavy but I like the effect that it will have at night time. The brick will also correspond with the site in a more modern fashion.
The glass will also be semi reflective to make the heavy circulation towers less noticable on the eastern side.

Updated Section with Plans

Here is the updated section with corresponding plans. I moved the staircase like you said and tweeked the program. The section comes together better and now I can add the mechanical louvres. The back wall is solid throughout the building so I'm researching doing something special with it. I also made the changes to the section that were needed.
