| **Bar** | **NOT in center of hall** — one **side container = bar** |
| **Hall center** | **~6,000 SF open floor** — dance, tables, flexibility, sightlines |
| **Containers** | **Sides only** — perimeter wall + room + structure (Version 2) |
| **Rear** | **50×50** conventional commissary (**12′–14′** eave) |
| **Roof** | Peaked · **14′** eave · **~20′** peak · center post row |

## Final layout

### FRONT (120′) — **no containers**

```
====================================
         MAISON MIRAGE
====================================
   METAL PANEL + ROLL-UP DOORS (120′)
====================================
```

- Host · lobby · **bar view from side wall** (not blocking center)  
- Front wall = **insulated metal panel** + **2–3 commercial roll-up doors** + **small fixed glass** at entry (AOR; **not** container modules · **not** curtain wall)  
- Chandeliers / premium FF&E = **Phase 1B** (paint-grade hall OK Day 1)

### LEFT wall (containers — long axis along building)

| Room | Use |
|------|-----|
| Storage | BOH |
| Meeting | staff / small groups |
| VIP | private |
| **BAR** | **Mirage bar — orders from bar wall; hall stays open** |

### RIGHT wall (containers)

| Room | Use |
|------|-----|
| Office | admin / leasing |
| Security | ops |
| Bridal | events |
| Groom | events |

**8 × 40′** modules total — **0 on front**

*AOR fits eight rooms on **120′×80′** pad (likely 2–4 boxes per side with partitions / infill — program count fixed, geometry on sheet).*

### REAR

- **50′ × 50′** kitchen / commissary — hood, grease, walk-ins, **M/W** — **not** containers

### CENTER

- **Enclosed** assembly hall · power-trowel slab  
- **No center bar** · **no container pods** in floor plate

## Modes (why side bar wins)

| Mode | Hall | Bar |
|------|------|-----|
| Restaurant | Dining layout | Guests order from **bar wall** |
| Reception | **Open dance floor** | Service from side |
| Corporate | Flexible center | No sightline block |

---

## Version 2 economics (unchanged)

Containers **are** the east/west perimeter — **not** inside a separate metal shell.

**Do not pay for:** stick-frame side walls **plus** redundant container “furniture.”

**Savings band:** ~**$75K–$200K** vs conventional perimeter rooms (verify on bid).

**Cut ~8′+ openings** (welded headers) from support rooms into hall — **not** cargo-door-only access.

---

## Reject on all drawings / renders

- [ ] Any container on **south / courtyard** elevation  
- [ ] VIP · VIP · ENTRY · PD · PD front row  
- [ ] Center bar island or center container in hall  
- [ ] “Open hall” = open to **sky** (must be **enclosed**, open **floor**)  
- [ ] Containers inside full metal perimeter (Version 1 double-pay)
