Tom... try modeling your sketch as you have them. They have a well defined flow and I think you would benefit from modeling without the addition of the water and roof. Werner has a good point... I was actually contemplating tilting some of the walls slightly, but did not have a strong reason to do so.
Rick: Thanks for your comments. It is always good to hear from a loyal Red Wings fan! I liked the entryway so much I even built a physical model . One of the things that haunted in the problem me was that I had to decide which way the North was on this site!
Tom, reading your comments one more time, I think you are too close to the real built environment (for now). How about this thing is to be built in an aircraft hanger, no sun, no water problems, just elements that enclose pieces of space. Play with the amount of enclosure you need to make a space felt. Cut up some cardboard pieces and add them to your physical model. Move them around, sense what it does to the degree of enclosure, play with the transitions?
Tom, if I remember from our time in Boston I thought you wanted to get more into some of the technology side of the practice or was that just keep up with current trends in design. Anyway, I would also play with sketchup if you can. it will allow you to play with shadows as they come through the gaps of the walls and columns. It presents some interesting affects.

Ken, can you please do it without additional features?. I think it is challenging enough just focusing on the spaces and transitions. Thanks
Thomas, I'm so sorry, I have no idea why I called you Ken...

Thanks for helping me eliminate some obfuscations in the expression of my solution. I was wrestling with with vertical in this problem.

I did want to experiment with space in more detail I will post some photos with the suggested changes.
