2016 Rio Olympic Velodrome Conversion

Our task as a group in the Fall of 2014 was to create a new master plan for the Olympic park post games similar to the 2011 winning entry by Wilkinson Eyre and AECOM. My focus was on taking the Velodrome and converting it into a four star hotel with direct ocean access.

Our work began by designing a site plan that would house the hotel and two residential areas we were responsible for designing It was important to create "ocean-front" property for as many units as possible.
