Easy to see the connection between the sketches and the overall form of your propositions. I can see something of the interior of the lower studio space, but no indication of what the interior of the upper studio space looks like.
The forms of the upper space look a bit random as well. If you are going to use a vaulted form, you should consider setting up some regular spacing and geometry for each form to follow. This will give some more meaning to your work. Try googling Kahn's 'Kimbell Museum' to see what he did with this idea. There is a reference to this museum on our group blog as well.
Consider the floor plane of the lower studio: it's curved, which could be interesting, but consider the practicalities of an artist trying to work in that space. Try introducing some flat areas that are connected by these curvy floor planes/ramps. Additionally, remeber this space is underground. So that glass wall that you have on one side will just be looking out into solid earth - nothing really to see, and no way of admitting light into the space. Suggest you try manipulating the curvy ceiling plane, opening it up, to allow light in from the top.
Not sure where your gallery space is....
Along with everyone else, you should think about -
Support: Walls need to be min. 300mm thick to play a structural role. There is some notion of thickness to walls and roof in some parts of your model, but not in all.
Light: How do you get light into the different spaces?? Have a look at the examples of gallery spaces on our group blog and look at how light is admitted to the space and where it comes from - an opening in the roof, high up in the wall, down through a multiple-height space.
Scale: As a rule, a studio space should have a ceiling height of about 4-5 metres max. There may be some areas in the studio where the ceiling height could be smaller, to a minimum of 2.4 metres.
The gallery space can have a higher ceiling height, between 4 and 6 metres. This will establish some sense of hierarchy between the each of your studio spaces and the gallery space.
