Introduction to the Site

In this assignment, our site will be located within the Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. Me and my group has discussed about it and came out with a plan to recreate the area, which is the balcony that located at Block E, level 2. It is a very suitable place for recreation since it is a wide opening area and it is not used currently, we found that it is a waste, so we choose that place.

Suggestion and Proposal

There are few important thing we need to take note when recreate or design a food and beverage area. The most important thing is guest comfort. Next is building automation, and followed by green perspective.

To create a harmony feeling, we need to combine the design of elements, lightning, and other components such as odor and temperature significantly influence the well-being of your guests.

Building automation, a preprogrammed parameter in the building automation and control system allow us to adapt the environment to fit guest comfort. Since this is an outdoor restaurant, the only thing is adjusting the light.

14

Suggestion & Proposal

- We decided to create an outdoor restaurant. It’s a totally open area with no wall or roof.

- We decided to run a buffet restaurant.- We will build the kitchen at the corner, which located at the left

side of the site, to separate it from customer.- There will be a bar in the middle, to server drinks or snacks.- As we are running a buffet restaurant, there will be a table with

10m long in the middle to server all the foods.- Use energy saving concept, light or air conditional, together

with automation control system as mention in above. - Create a waiting area, for customer to wait for their table or

turns, also can use as a rest and chill section.- Do not arrange the tables to be too close to each other, create

more space for walking and more comfort.

Sketch of Concept & IdeaThe concept of our idea is about recreation a site into a food and

beverage (dining area). The idea is about create a restaurant with a sky bar. The restaurant will server buffet and the bar will server drinks. The example we found is the Sirocco Sky Bar, Bangkok.

The kitchen will be at the left side of the site. It is a U shape kitchen. There will be a bar in the middle. The purpose of putting a bar is to server drinks and snacks.

Example of the bar.

17

There will be a table with length 10m be placed in the middle to server all the food.

There will be only 18 table are available in this restaurant. We doesn’t want to add more because it will makes the place smaller and feel uncomfortable.

There will be a rest and chill section for customer to wait for their turns or tables. It’s open for everyone whoever want to come here and enjoy, it doesn’t has to be our customer. The size of this area is 5m x 15m.

Materials

Chairs & tables:

We are using some high quality chairs and table, to bring comfort to customers. The chairs will be in white colour and the table will be made out of glass.

Lightning:

There are two type of lamp we will add into our site, one is like garden lamp, another is wall lamp, with create a comfortable feeling. Reason we choose this two type of lamp is because they won’t release a huge amount of light with hurt people eyes, especially when night time.

20

Waiting and Chill Area:

In this area, we will add some bean bag chair and tables for people to relax. The railing that around this waiting area, we will be using Radiance Railing, it is one kind of wooden railing.

Plants:

We will implant this “Ixora cocinea” plants along the railing, here is some information about this plants.

Ixora coccineaIxora coccinea - Ixora is a genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family. It consists of tropical evergreen trees and shrubs and holds around 500 species.

Though native to the tropical and subtropical areas throughout the world, its centre of diversity is in Tropical Asia.

21

Rationale and Benefits of your project in to the client and the surrounding community / end user.

Our chosen site is located at Taylor’s Lakeside Campus, Block E, Level 23, the balcony. The topic we choose to recreate our site is food and beverage.

Rationale:

To bring that place to life. This site is originally an open space with rarely any people uses

it and there is no other purpose other than viewing the school outdoor.

It would look nicer, implanting green pocket to the site. Enhance scenery of the site because it look empty with no

purpose using it.

Benefits:

It would be more convenient for students or stuff to have their food and beverage.

Creating more business opportunity. Creating more jobs. Helps client to bring money to the community.
