Here's the sketchup model for the first week. The top level was Heston Blumenthal, so in my model it's a restaurant. The seating is all above with a VIP area up the very top, there is a feature wall between the levels that's also a tunnel between the two sides (Cantilevered off the sides?). The kitchen would be on the level just below the lower seating area so waiters walk up to the seating.
The area between the two is a gallery for art/photos of the food/showroom for motorbikes. It's big a spacious and pretty simple to not distract from the content. I like using glass so there's a lot of it as barriers and there's also large windows. For the top section the word was Cosmic, which looked alright in the sketch section because things were floating and it sort of had this old aztec-ey sort of shape, didn't come through very well on the 3D though. Maybe the very top layer brings back the cosmic a bit.
Underneath is the garage for the Revival Cycles, the sketch had an extra sub layer but I don't think it was really necessary, that being said, it sort of took the drive (the word for the lower section) out of it. The idea was that you'd drive down into the garage and down to any other levels via ramps. I designed it in a way that I know it would be fun to drive on (because I drive a motorbike) but taking out the sub layer doesn't make it that fun any more (but ramps are always fun anyway).
I think I might have made this building a bit too practical and so it's come out a little boring, but it served it's purpose with experimenting.
