Key Insights

  • The millwork drawings provide a comprehensive layout of the bar area with clear references to enlarged details, sectional cuts, and material callouts, promoting efficient understanding.
  • Revisions are an integral part of these drawings, allowing for continuous improvement and ensuring the final design meets the exact requirements.
  • The strategic placement of electrical outlets under the counter in the drawings demonstrates attention to customer convenience, enhancing the overall user experience.

Let's look at the millwork drawings for the bar area. On the top left corner, you can see the bar itself. So there's a pass-through area up here for the barkeep to give refreshments to waiters and waitresses, a seating area here, a lower seating area here, and then there's a bar back here and undoubtedly right in front of the seating area.

If we look down here at the enlarged plans, you can see that this detail is referencing this front detail six, the elevation bar. This detail is referencing the back wall. This detail is referencing the side elevation.

The drawings are organized as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. So there's a logical organization of the drawings. To let you know, when we go into this drawing, there's a comment about a mesh screen, and this and this are the mesh screen drawings that they're talking about.

So let's zoom in. Again, we have the callouts for the elevations. This is a section through the bar, and you can see this is image two.

This section right here is referenced right here in the drawing. So this section cut is right here in large detail. This is a section looking down, reference to another detail.

You can see that vertical dimensions are provided. Revision numbers are included. If we zoom in more, you can see that we had an initial revision right here, revision number one.

This change down here was in revision number three. We have material callouts. This is the section through the lower seating area.

So you can see the section cut down here is referencing image three. This bar section up here, number four, is referencing the bar section, number four, on the back wall over here. One good comment that's in the drawings is verify with equipment.

So you want to make sure that the equipment that's going to be purchased will appropriately fit within the cabinets. Again, you can see references to the section two, similar there. The lower seating there.

We have dimensions to the face of plywood. And again, the reference to the section cut, number four. This corner down here is anchored to the structural grid.

This back wall anchored to the structural grid. In this drawing, we have section cuts referenced on image five and image eight that are horizontal slices through the area. One thing that's really nice is they've put electrical outlets under the counter so that patrons can charge their cell phones.

We have the section cut through the lower seating and material callouts. Image seven. Again, horizontal section cuts looking down to image eight and image five.

We're showing the total length of this set of cabinets and that their measurements are equal. An opening here centered on TV. Again, here centered on TV.

The callout for recessed puck lights underneath storage. This is one of the horizontal slices through the upper cabinets. Again, we're showing references to section cuts through those cabinets.

Showing the recessed puck light centered on the door. And then this is the access side elevation. Here are sections through those upper cabinets.

We see material callouts, more information on how they're being assembled, and also enlarged details at the end condition, middle condition, and top condition. This is a significant enlargement of the bar edge detail. And then we have the details at a tile ledge, sliding cabinet, middle of the sliding cabinet, and the top condition.

So there we are. Another excellent millwork drawing. You see how information is referenced throughout the sheet, and it's relatively obvious that they have done an excellent job of coordinating the information.

This is the last of our interior design drawings. I hope you've enjoyed this, and so let's start learning about some more engineering drawings.
