The colleagues spaces in the building

As well as my watercolour studio I am including 4 other colleagues spaces:
*Tattoo parlour
*Bookshop/writer space
*Street Art
*Photography Gallery



I chose these ones as they are all themed as creative and they all meld really well. 


Now to look into their briefs and see what they require in their spaces:
Photography Gallery:
Since it is a photography gallery space I would like to have:
-Half the walls a white plaster
-The other half a black colour
-Temporary partitions i.e. easily movable interior walls
-approx. 90% of the area easily lit by natural sun light, the other 10% can be very dark
-approx. 20% of overall exterior wall area be of glass face, other 80% matte
-Mostly wooden flooring, does not have to be flat
-Mostly straight walls, couple of curves would be nice
-The ability to accommodate photographs as small as A5 up to Several A0's stacked
-A logical yet interesting sense of 'flow' for public traffic visiting the gallery
-Seating for casual loitering while viewing photos
-Overall a professional yet welcoming feel to the space
In addition to the above:
-A small office-ish space to accommodate a computer/desk for orders and enquiries
-An area which can be turned into a working space while being separate from exhibition space
-Everything adjustable to be easily done


Street Art I want a floor of street art gallery where anyone can come and freely express themselves through their artworks. This gallery will need to have: maze type interior to allow maximum areas to draw on, Various textured walls that will result in more interesting artworks and the height of the walls will not touch the ceilings for ventilation


Bookstore/writer space:

My own personal space would be a bookshop where people can come and read books freely + small working studio for the author.
My bookshop will be selling just one type of book. (haven't decided what kind of book I'm going to do) Maybe it can relate/ link with the other stores in the building. 
Space requirements:
-Small space for the writer to work (must be separated from the selling area) to create more privacy 
-Quiet, relaxing atmosphere
-Not much sunlight --> can damage the books
-It will be good if the view is good from where people are reading books
-Good display for the books
-Comfortable sofa/ seating area for the readers


Tattoo ParlourA new style of tattoo studio is needed. The tattoo shop should be different from the traditional tattoo shop. The studio should be designed architecturally, but be careful don’t design a place look like a dentist office. The design should show the spirit of tattoo:  out of common.
Function
  • the studio has 3-4 independent spaces of electric chairs, but they can be opened as a public space
  • The spaces should be quiet enough for tattooists to concentrate on their work
  • Has place that for tattooists to rest and have a discuss with their customers
  • Printer, computer are needed for they design work. Touch screen for customers to choose patterns.
  • Ultraviolet radiation light for killing the bacteria
  • Nice ventilation
  • Best to have relationship to the site, nice  view
Actually just to be the special tattoo shop,dont make something like a dentist's office!)
Material
  • Large glass windows/wall, that people can see interior and they can be attract to the studio
  • Can be shined by ultraviolet radiation
  • Modern enough with some metal or "rock and roll" elements
