Create a photorealistic architectural interior render of a university sky lounge and coffee shop based strictly on the attached floor plan screenshot. The space is labeled “SKY LOUNGE” and “COFFEE SHOP” and should be interpreted as a faculty social space / rooftop student lounge / elevated café pavilion inside a contemporary university building. The render must remain faithful to the uploaded plan and should clearly express that this is a fully glazed, transparent, glass-enclosed lounge café space.

1) Most important design condition

This is the key requirement:

The entire space should feel like a full glass pavilion / full glazed sky lounge
It must read as a completely transparent, floor-to-ceiling glass envelope
However, the two side walls should NOT be directly visible in the frame
Even though the side walls are not shown frontally, the render must still clearly communicate that those sides are glass walls
This should be expressed through:
reflections on glass
visible edge mullions / glass joints
transparency toward the exterior
daylight entering from the side directions
a pavilion-like open panoramic atmosphere

So the image should avoid showing the side walls as solid boundaries, but still make it obvious that the space is enclosed by glass on all sides.

2) Camera and composition — very important
The render must be from the main entrance / front approach side of the coffee shop and sky lounge, looking into the space.
The camera should be positioned so that:
the coffee service counter is clearly visible
the seating area of the sky lounge is visible beyond it
the space reads as a single connected café-lounge environment
Use a frontal or slightly diagonal entrance perspective, eye-level, with a wide but controlled architectural lens (24–28 mm feel).
The camera should be carefully framed so that:
the side glass walls are implied, not fully exposed
the viewer sees the depth of the lounge and the café counter
the panoramic, glazed, elevated character of the space is still obvious

In other words:
show the space as a glass pavilion, but do not let the two side walls dominate the image.

3) Spatial organization — follow the plan

Use the uploaded floor plan as the primary spatial reference and preserve the overall organization.

The space has two main functional parts:

A) Front / upper lounge seating zone — Sky Lounge
The upper portion of the plan contains the main sky lounge seating area
This area should feel open, social, airy, and connected to exterior views
Arrange multiple small café tables with chairs in a neat rhythm, following the plan logic
This is the primary student social zone for sitting, talking, studying casually, and spending time
B) Lower / inner service zone — Coffee Shop
The lower portion contains the coffee shop counter / barista service zone
This area should include:
a service counter
coffee preparation area
back counter storage / equipment
undercounter units or cabinetry
The coffee counter should sit between the entrance and the lounge, acting as the active service core of the space

The final render must preserve the sense that the coffee bar and sky lounge belong to one transparent, elevated social space.

4) Identity of the place

This is not a street café and not a commercial mall coffee shop.
It must read as a university social lounge / campus café / faculty sky lounge integrated into an academic building.

The atmosphere should communicate:

a student social hub
a contemporary faculty coffee point
a semi-public campus lounge for breaks, informal meetings, and short study sessions
a place with elevated views and lightness, not a closed interior room

The space should feel suitable for:

coffee breaks between classes
casual student meetings
quick laptop work
small conversations
informal waiting and social interaction
a lounge attached to a faculty building with a scenic outlook
5) Full glass pavilion character

The architecture must strongly emphasize that the lounge is enclosed by glass rather than solid walls.

Glass envelope principles
Use floor-to-ceiling glazing on the outer perimeter
Keep the framing slim and minimal, with elegant dark or light metal mullions
Let the room feel bright, open, elevated, and visually connected to the outdoors
Through the glass, show a soft exterior context such as:
skyline
campus roofs
distant city
terrace edge
soft landscaping
The exterior should remain secondary, but enough to make the sky lounge believable
Very important framing condition

Because the user does not want the side walls to be visible:

do not compose the camera so the left and right walls appear flat and fully front-facing
instead, let the side glazing be perceived through:
corner reflections
oblique mullion lines
transparency at the edges of the frame
daylight wrapping the space from both sides
6) Coffee shop zone design

The coffee shop should feel compact but refined, like a faculty café kiosk integrated into a lounge.

Include:

a clean coffee service counter
espresso machine
grinder
cups and minimal barista equipment
display shelving or storage integrated behind the counter
menu board or subtle branding if appropriate, but keep it minimal and academic
undercounter cabinets and worktop details

The counter should not feel like a large commercial café; it should feel like a compact university coffee point.

7) Lounge seating design

The sky lounge should feel relaxed but still organized and architectural.

Include:

small square or round café tables arranged in the upper seating zone
contemporary café chairs with a lightweight, refined design
enough spacing for circulation
optional soft lounge touches such as:
a few planters
laptop use
coffee cups
subtle table accessories
but keep the space clean and presentation-ready

This area should feel like a place where students:

sit with coffee
wait between classes
have informal discussions
work casually on laptops
enjoy the view and daylight
8) Material palette

Use a contemporary, elegant but academic material palette suitable for a sky lounge inside a university.

Suggested materials:

flooring: large-format matte porcelain tile, polished concrete, terrazzo, or refined neutral stone-look flooring
counter finishes: light oak, walnut, muted stone, terrazzo, or matte solid-surface countertop
ceiling: clean contemporary ceiling with integrated linear lighting
joinery: warm wood + dark metal accents
furniture: café chairs in muted tones, black / charcoal / warm grey / soft wood combinations
glass framing: slim aluminum or steel profiles

The space should feel:

airy
modern
light
elevated
social
refined but not luxurious
9) Lighting

Lighting should reinforce the glass pavilion / sky lounge feeling.

Preferred lighting atmosphere
daytime render
abundant natural light entering through the glass envelope
soft sunlight and bright ambient daylight
subtle ceiling lighting integrated into the architecture
the room should feel luminous, transparent, and open

Avoid:

dark moody café lighting
nightclub lounge lighting
overly dramatic contrast
yellow dim bar ambience

This is a bright faculty lounge, not a night bar.

10) Plan fidelity — do not go outside the drawing

This is important:

Do not change the basic relationship between lounge seating and coffee counter
Do not turn it into a large restaurant
Do not make the coffee counter oversized
Do not replace the sky lounge seating with sofas everywhere
Do not close the perimeter with opaque walls
Do not show heavy side walls
Do not lose the full-glass pavilion identity
Do not move far away from the plan proportions

The render should feel like a direct architectural interpretation of the uploaded plan.

11) Visual storytelling

The final image should immediately communicate:

this is a sky lounge + coffee shop in a university
it is a transparent, full-glass social pavilion
students use it for coffee, breaks, informal meetings, and casual study
it is bright, elevated, and connected to the outside
the side walls are glass even if they are not directly shown in the frame

The emotional tone should be:

open
calm
social
airy
contemporary
campus-oriented
12) Rendering quality
highly realistic architectural interior visualization
convincing glass reflections and transparency
accurate café furniture proportions
clean barista counter detailing
soft daylight and realistic material textures
professional university lounge rendering quality
13) Negative instructions
Do not make it a street café or shopping mall café
Do not use dark nightclub lighting
Do not show solid side walls
Do not turn the lounge into a restaurant
Do not overfill the space with decoration
Do not make the counter oversized or commercial
Do not ignore the glass pavilion character
Keep it elegant, academic, transparent, and faithful to the plan
