Stedroy, I appreciate how you broke down the two functions of your program to develop your matrix. Your matrix is a bit confusing though. I would suggest reworking it. Look at your bubble diagram. What is the biggest space? Try to have a logical order of approach. Use the progression the public would use, to experience your space. Spa and gym should be together. Restaurant and kitchen should be adjacent. It will make your matrix more legible.
Stedroy, I agree with Liamd - put your "patron hat" on and think about how you would use the space. For example, the gym, spa, changing rooms would be grouped together and really don't need to be accessed through the lobby area. How you flow through the various spaces is very important as well as proximity. I think it's a great start, now you need to articulate the flow better. As Architects we wear many hats - sometimes you need to think like your client, the owner, when thinking about budgets and material selections during design, other times you need to be the general contractor when you're detailing, and other times you become the end-user, the patron, moving through the space. Give yourself room to think about the experience, walk through the space and understand the reason for the "ajacentness" of various spaces. Why are these 2 spaces separated? Why are these 2 not?
Both comments above are true. There is a general homogeneity to your diagramme which does not address hierarchy, neither in volume, nor in adjacency. The apparent lack of organization is contributing to the ad-hoc and confusing nature of the effort.
Agreed with all above. For as comprehensive a building as a hotel, but also helpful on a smaller scale or sized building type, I suggest a more noticeable sizing of your bubbles, to help with what really needs adjacency, or not, but also with grouping some of the major functions, since lobby is almost always central, but making also logical grouping of auxiliary spaces like dining, restrooms, maintenance, housekeeping, etc.

I was taught in class today that bubble diagrams are meant to be abstract and adjacencies were not the focus. that is a block diagram isnt it?
