well, i think there is a mistake. if you look carefully to this picture, you'll find out, that if there should be two decks in the top halfsphere (there are windows for 2 decks) there wouldn't be enough space in the top one, but only for the bridge and 2 turbolifts (like in Ent-C) no ready room, no hallway. I think there shouldn't be any windows in the top sphere!
Well I found (somewhere), that Ambassador class ships has 38 decks (many different sources on internet, but this is logicall - due to heigth of the ship and deck), if the top halfsphere contains 2 decks, there will be then 39 decks (not 38) in whole ship - as you can see on cutaway I'm working on

Hmmm.... The idea that only the upper half of that hemisphere is the main bridge does not work well- particularly when you consider the height of the Enterprise C's bridge.
Better to think that the entire hemisphere is the main bridge and the excess top portion contains the sensor dome and assorted snacks for long missions.

yes, i know, but there are two rows of windows on the hemisphere. that is obviously a mistake. but i think there shouldn't be any windows at all... or the conference lounge is in front of the bridge, not behind

If the dome is all one deck, it's pretty tall. There may simply be two rows of windows. If, as Jason suggested, there were some sort of gallery there, it may have a very high ceiling, with a row of windows at normal height, and a row of windows higher up.

Here is the original sketch from 'Double Time' from which Kazeite's drawing was done from.
I hope it helps.

Never liked bridge designs that featured huge empty spaces at the front while squishing many stations into the rear. Obstensibly this is so that the cameras on the set will have more possible angles to shoot with less extras and reset time, but it's hardly practical.
On this design, the guy at Tactical would be bumping into the shoulders of the people at the rear stations. Also, the Captain would be shouting most of his orders to people behind him. Meanwhile, he could install a pool table or mini-grand piano at the front and still have room left over for a fridge. A bachelor must have designed this bridge.

I know this bridge isn't idal, but USS Pasteur has a simillar type of bridge. All stations except the flight control behind the captain. Well, Galaxy class bridge has also most of the stations behind captain's chair. The new (modern) bridges are moving captain behind the others.
Well, i have taken all your comments, this photo and I create a design, where are all the windows. It combines few styles of the other ship's 'deck 1 layout'. First I made a side view, because I wanted to know how many space there is. If I wanted to use all the windows, the conference lounge has to be in front of the bridge and little lowered. So there are stairs to ready room and hallway, but that is necessary evil. The lengths (in meters) are based on the length of the whole ship (526 m). Here it is.
What do you think about this room layout? (It's not the original Ambassador class ship, but the refit.) Thanx for all comments.

Looks great- though I despise the Voyager-ish "co-captain" chairs.
