Understanding The Problem

We were given a task to redesign a restaurant and retail space located in Denver, Colorado.Our assignment as a group was to begin by researching different cultures that we knew little or nothing about. We came across a list of cultures that were mainly from Europe. We decided that we wanted to do a culture from Asia, so we continued to do more research on this region. One of our group members, Vega Vashtiary, is from the island of Indonesia and mentioned that we should choose Java for our culture. Each of us researched different aspects of the culture. Our research included geography, religions, traditions, politics, food, clothing, and popular culture.

Java is the most populated island of Indonesia. Approximately half of the island is cultivated, the rest being thickly forested. Java has a chain of mountains that cross the island from east to west. Of these mountains, 112 of them are volcanic, and thirty-five of them are active. Their major commercial crops include rubber, coffee, tea, sugar, tobacco, and cacao. Java is also home to the most expensive coffee in the work, Kopi Luwak. The population of Java is predominantly Muslim, and includes people of Javanese, Sundanese, and Madurese origin, each with their own differing languages.

Cultural Research


Batik patternsFood from a Javanese ceremony.

Foods are usually placed on a table, served at room temperature, and guests serve themselves in buffet style. Rice is a national staple in all of Indonesia, so it is placed in the center of the plate, with meats and other items around the edges. Food was eaten usually very fast and without speaking, with the fingertips or with a spoon and fork. During formal occasions, the people wear batik patterned clothing. Batik patterns are usually found on pieces of clothing that are dyed. The Javanese people are very inspired by the nature that surrounds them.

Cultural Research


Identity Development

After we chose our culture and did our extensive research, we had to decide as a group a list of words that we felt would represent our restaurant and retail space the best. After we generated a big list of words, we narrowed the list down to five words. The five words are our core values, which are applied to every aspect of how we designed the applicationsfor the project.

Core Values

Javanese Communal HalalNature Inspired Vivid Oasis


We determined our mission statement after we finalized our core values. We integrated each of our core values into one sentence to represent our viewson what we felt the restaurant andretail was all about.

Mission Statement

We strive to create a vivid Javanese experience by providing a communal oasis constantly evolving and inspired by nature.


Naming Process

When it came to start picking out a name for our restaurant and retail, we were not able to get all together at the same time. We took a different approach and decided to use Facebook as a way to make a list of names. This gave us a chance to look at all the different options and add ideas at our own pace. After reviewing our list of names, we met during our weekly Wednesday class and decided on the name Rumah for our restaurant and the name Kopi for our retail venue. We chose Rumah because it translates into “House”, which went with our core values and mission statement because it is a communal space. We chose Kopi because it means coffee, which was the focus point of our retail. The coffee from Java is known as the most expensive coffee in the world.



For our color palettes, we decided that the best direction for us to go in was to use colors directly from their traditional restaurants, palaces, and nature. The colors used in each of these were very warm and were all nature inspired.

Color Process



We went through several steps of different color palettes to reach our final palette. We picked these colors because they are from Javanese buildings, andare the colors that the Javanese use in their everyday lives. Each color is warm and rich and reflects each of our core values. These colors are used throughout the identity and interior spaces of the restaurant and retail.

Final Color Palette


We did a number of different color combinations to see how each color would work with each other. This is an important step because it helps us decide which colors to use with different applications later on.

Color Combinations


Initial sketches of picture mark taken from Batik.

The Batik piece that inspired my final mark.

When I began the process of creating a picture mark I decided to approach it from the artistic side of the Javanese culture. Java is really famous for the patterns they hand paint onto fabric, which is called Batik. I looked at as many different Batik pieces and this one in particular was the most inspirational one I found. I started sketching any little part of the pattern that might evolve into something highly interesting. After exploring every possibility I looked back at our core values and mission statement and decided to investigate the bird (seen in the bottom Batik) further.

Abstracting the bird more. My attempt to create the entire mark with one line.

After a little while, I tried another approach of creating the entire shape with one line. Those seemed to fit the concept of the culture pretty well. It was one of these forms I ended up taking onto the computer to manipulate it more.

Batik Marks Chani Elmont


For my marks, I decided to focus on the letter forms and language from Java. I chose to focus on the language and the letter forms from Java because I thought that they were beautiful and I knew that I would be able to make a mark that worked perfectly with the Javanese culture. I took some of the letters and worked to make them even more organic and natural than they already were. I also took certain parts of the letters and numbers to make my marks.

For my picture mark, I decided to take a geographical approach. I started to research different volcanos on the island of Java. I tried a couple different marks but none of them really seemed to work for me. I decided then that I would look into the designs of Batik. I found one that had many different shapes and one that looked like a house. I traced over this design and it was almost perfect. It was now time to take it to the computer and make it a vector. For the Kopi mark, all I really did was turn the house mark over and moved around some of the strokes.

Picking a type face was a fairly quick process for our group. We quickly decided that a serif typeface would fit our mission and core values the best. So, we went through many different typefaces and picking out any that we thought could possibly fit the look and feel of Rumah and Kopi. We ended up with twenty typefaces to pick from. We evaluated each typeface in terms of our core values and mission statement as well as how each one made us feel.

Picking a Type Face


Original Kopi

Customized Kopi

Out of the list of typefaces that we chose, we chose Brioso for our official typeface. However, the original “i” in Brioso was weird and none of the group members liked it. From there, we took the “o” and and filled it in and made that our customized “i”. We decided to enlarge both the R and K to give them an elongated, natural look. We tucked the rest of the word into the R and the K to tighten the word. In our Kopi mark, we also shortened the descender in the “p” so that our positioning statement would fit nicely underneath the word.

Updated version with simplifed Rumah.First tweaked version with name and position statement added.

After going over all my sketches I began tweaking the one line sketch of a bird. I got to the point seen besides this and started to work on the Kopi logo. For the Kopi logo, I pulled the bottom line out of the bird and twisted it around. I realized it kind of looked like a cup. I started playing with adding a saucer and doing other things that would enhance the cup like appearance. What I ended up with seems to me like this bird coffee cup that could be in Beauty and the Beast. After coming up with the Kopi logo the Rumah logo no longer pleased me so I revisited it. I came up with this simplified version that you see on the right.

For my final Rumah mark, I put it inside of a perfect circle. It represents each of our core values. For my final Kopi mark, I decided to flip my Rumah mark upside down to make my Kopi mark. The mark upside down reflects a coffee cup and also gives a sense of steam and motion.I combined the different colors of our color palette together to see which of the colors worked best with my marks. In the end, I decided to make my Rumah mark in the red from our color palette, and my Kopi mark in the lighter brown from our color palette. The positioning statements are also in the same colors as the marks.

For my final marks, I went ahead and made all the strokes heavier. The first couple were way too thin and the whole mark disappeared as they got smaller. There are a couple of examples of what the different color combinations looked like. I went to the bright orange for Rumah as it went with the word vivid in our core values. The light brown goes perfectly with the picture mark for Kopi as it reminds me of coffee and since Kopi means coffee, it make sense.

Space Design

We began with a process called adjacency matrices. This involves placing different bubbles next to each other to figure out the best possible floor plan. The bubbles do not represent square footage, they simply give us an idea of whether a particular layout will work.Next we moved to bubble diagrams, which involves taking our layout and applying real square footage to it. This gives us an idea of how our layout will work in a real space.

After finalizing the functional layout, we develop a final floor plan design that will represent the finished space.

After the final floor plans are printed, we take it one step further by adding the actual colors and finishes that is implemented in the design. This gives the client a better idea of what the space will look like, before they see the perspectives.

The last thing we do is create a quality presentation for the client that really shows what the space would look like in reality. They should be realistic and represent the actual project specifications.This can also include creating a final set of boards that shows the renderings, samples of fabric and finishes, and products to be used.

Rumah Wall GraphicChani Elmont and Lydia McWherter

We had the idea of creating a cut out, back lit piece of wall art since the beginning of the semester. Once the decision was made to utilize Arturo’s Rumah logo as the restaurant’s logo we though we would use Chani’s and Lydia’s Rumah logos inside the restaurant. This would create a nice contrast between the organic flow the Chani and Lydia’s logos and the sharp lines of Arturo’s. For the wall graphic we sketched out a bunch of different ideas combining Chani and Lydia’s logo into one elongated piece. Our final choice was the second sketch from the top, however, we had to tailor the design to fit the wall dimensions.



When creating models we were really excited about the front desk and the cut out accent wall, so we decided to make a model of both. The reception desk was created to mimic the shape of Arturo’s Rumah logo from above. It would be build out of wood with glass covering the very back and very front. Here we will sell our coffee as well as take reservations. We picked the wall by the first floor bar to accent and cut out the wall graphic from the main wall. We then decided to reflect this image on the front glass window so that when you walk by the two images will line up at a specific point.

LEED Summary

Nature is a large part of life in the Javanese culture. It is embedded in their lifestyle from birth. Being “Green” is not a fad, it is a way of life, something that came out of necessity in this developing country. Every design decision was based on whether or not it promoted a sustainable and healthy building. By utilizing the highest amount of energy efficiency, we created a foundation that we could build a naturally eco-friendly environment on. The reuse and proper selection of old and new materials provide another key element to the design. All of these choices have come together to create a LEED Platinum building.



The Rumah and Kopi establishment is complying to the International Building Code 2006, as an A and M occupancy group.

Poster ProcessChani Elmont

For the poster sets I wanted to create the group of images that were growing together and evolving. This concept is perfect for our core values and mission statement that calls for a continuously growing and evolving comunity inspired by nature. To complete this concept I drew from my rumah and kopi logos as well as the original Batik I was inspired by. The left poster is an enlargment of my Rumah logo while the right poster is an enlargment of my Kopi logo. Both are melding together to create this spiral plant element. I drew many different versions of this to get the right plant form in the middle so that it both fit the culture and appeared to be growing and evolving constently. The top one on this page won. On my final posters I got rid of excess and unneeded shapes so that each poster became strong on it’s own as well as when they are put all together. I also added a very light pattern to the background that was, again, inspired by Batik. All Batik are completely covered in pattern so adding this light pattern to the background referenced Java even more. The goal was to make the posters appear like a modernized Javanese pattern or piece of art.

For my posters, I really wanted to stick with doing very organic, natural batik patterns. I started by doing research and finding some images of batik on the internet. I took the images into Adobe Illustrator and used the pen tool to get the elegant and smooth curves that I have tried to focus on the entire semester. I wanted to try to be able to incorporate the mission statement and core values as well into my posters.

For my posters, I started by taking different parts of my final Rumah mark and seeing how they spread across three posters. I did many different tracings of different angles until I found something I could work with. I found one angle that was just enlarged my final Rumah mark and rotated to the side. This made the mark look like an entry way into a great structure. I kept the color of the mark throughout the three poster and changed the background of each poster.

We chose Lydia’s logo because of the roundness of the logo. It is a perfect circle, so you can see it from all angles. We researched different types of coffee from Java, and decided to use the most popular types. We also wanted to inform people of the culture and language, so we added a description of where it is from. When you open the lid of the package, there is a quote on the inside of the lid that teaches you a Javanese word.

Kaja co�ee came from the Kalisat-Jampit Plantation, in East Java. It is about 4,000 hectares and located at the height of 900 meters above sea level. �e high elevation and various temperatures that the beans received in this plantation resulted in a special tasted and nice fragranced co�ee, called Kaja Co�ee.

Final Kopi packaging.

For the collateral, we also used Lydia’s logos. We decided to stick with a very natural and warm feel. We used the two brown colors from our color palette throughout the entire collateral system.

For our website, we decided to use the pattern from the menu and the coffee as the background for the website. The website is just a general image of what it would look like if there was an actual website for Rumah and Kopi.

Reflections

First few weeks of the semester

The Rumah and Kopi team were united, and got along very well the entire semester. Each person had the same ideas and same thoughts about the way things should be done and executed.The graphic designers and interior designers worked closely with each other the entire semester. We all became close, and formed and extended our friendships outside of the class. Many of us will use these friendships to benefit and help each other out throughout the years to come.
