The first is the music room where we provide extended program elements we hope you consider. including adding a coat\/backpack drop-off near it\u2019s entrance, a instrument storage room, a private practice room and an office for coordination of events and other music program duties.<\/p>\n<p>Second, we\u2019ve reduced the square meter requirement for the library restrooms for two reasons: 1) a private (lockable) male\/female room is all that is required in a library of this nature and in this setting, and 2) the public restroom are near by and easily accessible if there was any remote chance of a high demand.<br \/>\nThird, in the office area, while we provide 8 separate offices with views towards the cliffs, we\u2019ve also added a reception\/waiting room for those occasions when staff wishes to meet someone outside their office, or to organize people for a large meeting in the conference room.<br \/>\nTogether we think these are practical and functional refinements of the program that are worth considering.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong>Be sure to subscribe to this blog for further articles and releases of each image created for this competition to learn more. \u00a0Thank you.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our cultural center composition takes advantage of this unique hill-top peninsula overlooking the Bamiyan valley below by affording\u00a0every interior space a view&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":942,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[486,434,325,308,43,487,390,67,442,491,488,332,343,351,126,446,338,190,199,490,208,384,457,372,217,484,233,437,245,429,489,419,340,485],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.simpletwig.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1001"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.simpletwig.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.simpletwig.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.simpletwig.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.simpletwig.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1001"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.simpletwig.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1001\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.simpletwig.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.simpletwig.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.simpletwig.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.simpletwig.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
