Create a photorealistic architectural render of a university sky lounge and coffee shop terrace based on the attached floor plan screenshot. The uploaded drawing shows only a partial portion of a larger space, so the render must interpret the visible plan as one segment of a broader open rooftop lounge environment, not as a small enclosed room. The space should feel like an elevated campus sky lounge / rooftop coffee terrace belonging to a contemporary university or fine arts faculty building.

The design must remain inspired by the uploaded plan, but it should clearly communicate that the visible plan area is only the central service core and one portion of the seating area, while the actual lounge extends further to the left and right beyond the cropped drawing area.

1) Most important design conditions

The following conditions are mandatory:

A) This must be an open-air space
The project must be rendered as a completely open-top rooftop terrace / sky lounge
Do not design a closed room
Do not add a roof
Do not add a full ceiling
Do not create an enclosed indoor café
The sky lounge must feel open to the sky above, with natural daylight and outdoor atmosphere

The only built architectural element in the middle should be the coffee shop / service counter volume, but even this should feel like a light service pavilion or open kiosk rather than a fully enclosed café interior.

B) The visible plan is only a cropped part of a larger terrace
Interpret the uploaded plan as if only the central portion of a much wider lounge terrace has been shown
The left and right sides must feel like they continue beyond the visible frame
The render should imply that the sky lounge extends laterally outside the cropped plan area
It must not feel like a tiny isolated room with hard side boundaries
C) No text in the render
Do not include any text anywhere in the image
No signage
No “Sky Lounge” lettering
No “Coffee Shop” lettering
No branding
No menu text
No wall graphics with text
No floor text
No visible labels of any kind

The final render must be a clean architectural visualization with zero written text in the scene.

2) Spatial interpretation

Use the uploaded floor plan as the main compositional reference, but interpret it as part of a larger open terrace system.

The visible plan suggests two core elements:

A) Central coffee service core
The lower / central rectangular portion should be treated as a compact coffee service unit / barista kiosk / café core
This unit should include:
service counter
espresso preparation area
undercounter storage
compact back-of-house work surfaces
It should not become a big indoor café room
It should feel like a light service pavilion placed inside an open terrace lounge
B) Sky lounge seating zone
The upper seating arrangement shown in the plan should be interpreted as one portion of a larger rooftop seating field
The tables shown in the plan should remain visible, but the space should suggest that additional seating continues to the left and right beyond the cropped drawing
The lounge should feel spacious, airy, and laterally extended
3) Camera and framing — very important
The render should be from an entrance / front approach perspective looking toward the coffee shop and lounge area
Use a wide eye-level architectural perspective
Frame the shot so the visible plan area is centered, but the image composition implies that the terrace continues outside the left and right edges
The left and right sides should not read as closed walls; instead they should feel like the continuation of a larger open rooftop lounge
The render should show:
the coffee service counter in the middle-ground
the lounge seating behind / around it
the open sky above
the sense of lateral extension beyond the cropped plan area

This is crucial:
the image should feel like “we are only seeing one framed part of a much larger rooftop lounge” rather than the entire room.

4) Open-air architectural character

This must feel like an outdoor university sky lounge terrace, not an enclosed interior.

Required outdoor qualities
open sky visible above
no roof plane
no enclosed ceiling
no indoor room envelope
natural daylight, outdoor shadows, and terrace atmosphere
fresh air / rooftop pavilion character
light architectural detailing suitable for an exterior social space

You may use:

pergola-like very light structural elements only if they do not read as a roof and do not close the top
slim railing lines or parapet edges in the far background if needed
outdoor paving and exterior-grade materials

But the space must remain fundamentally open to the sky.

5) Glass / transparency condition

In the previous version the space was treated as a full glass pavilion; now revise that logic:

The coffee service core may still include glass surfaces, transparent panels, or a glazed kiosk character
However, the overall space itself should now read as an open rooftop terrace, not a fully enclosed glass room
If glass is used, it should appear as:
guardrails
light kiosk glazing
windbreak panels
transparent balustrades
Do not enclose the whole terrace in glass walls

So the updated reading is:

open-air rooftop lounge
central coffee kiosk / service core
transparent light architectural elements
no full enclosure
6) University identity

The space should clearly read as a faculty sky lounge / rooftop coffee terrace within a university or fine arts campus building.

It should feel like a place used for:

coffee breaks between classes
informal student meetings
short laptop work sessions
socializing
waiting between studio courses
enjoying views and fresh air

This is not:

a commercial rooftop restaurant
a luxury hotel bar
a shopping mall café
a closed indoor food court

It should feel academic, contemporary, youthful, and campus-oriented.

7) Coffee kiosk design

The coffee unit should be compact and elegant.

Include:

a clean service counter
espresso machine
grinder
integrated undercounter cabinetry
a back work surface / preparation area
barista equipment in a restrained way
minimal display elements if needed, but without any visible text

The coffee kiosk should feel like a campus coffee point embedded in an open terrace lounge.

8) Seating and terrace furniture

The seating area should feel like a rooftop student lounge, not a formal restaurant.

Use:

small café tables and chairs matching the plan rhythm
lightweight outdoor furniture
some variation in seating arrangement if needed, while staying close to the plan
possibly a few lounge-style elements at the edges, but keep the central logic faithful to the plan

The terrace should feel comfortable for:

2–4 person conversations
coffee drinking
casual studying
informal faculty social life

Because the terrace is wider than the cropped plan suggests, the furniture arrangement can subtly imply additional seating zones continuing off-frame to the left and right.

9) Material palette

Use a contemporary outdoor campus lounge palette:

flooring: exterior porcelain, terrazzo, stone pavers, or refined concrete terrace flooring
coffee kiosk: warm wood, powder-coated metal, terrazzo, matte solid surface, slim metal detailing
furniture: outdoor café chairs and tables in muted tones
glass elements: transparent railings, light windbreak glazing, or kiosk glazing if needed
landscape accents: minimal planters or soft greenery if suitable

The palette should feel:

bright
clean
exterior-grade
contemporary
youthful but refined
10) Lighting

This should be rendered as a daytime outdoor scene.

Use:

bright natural daylight
soft rooftop shadows
open-sky illumination
realistic exterior ambient light

Avoid:

dark indoor café lighting
moody bar ambience
enclosed interior lighting schemes
dramatic night-club atmosphere
11) Plan fidelity — while allowing lateral expansion

Stay faithful to the visible central logic of the plan, but interpret it as part of a larger whole.

Keep:
the coffee kiosk / service core placement
the general location of the lounge tables
the front-to-back relationship between kiosk and seating
But also communicate:
the terrace continues beyond the cropped drawing
the left and right sides are not hard boundaries
the visible plan is only a central excerpt of a wider sky lounge

Do not:

turn it into a closed café room
put a roof over the whole space
compress it into a tiny kiosk
make the side edges read like solid walls
12) Visual storytelling

The final render should immediately communicate:

this is a rooftop university sky lounge
the uploaded plan shows only part of a wider terrace
the coffee kiosk is the central service element
the lounge seating continues beyond the cropped plan edges
the space is fully open to the sky
it is bright, social, relaxed, and contemporary
there is no visible text anywhere
13) Rendering quality
highly realistic architectural visualization
strong outdoor atmosphere
realistic daylight and shadows
clean coffee kiosk detailing
believable terrace furniture scale
refined material textures
presentation-quality campus social-space render
14) Negative instructions
Do not design it as a closed interior café
Do not add a roof or full ceiling
Do not create solid side walls
Do not make the space look small and boxed in
Do not ignore the idea that the terrace extends beyond the visible plan
Do not add signage or any visible text
Do not make it a luxury rooftop bar or restaurant
Keep it academic, open-air, light, and faithful to the visible plan logic
