Design Brief 2

After studying our project in depth we’ve realised we might need to make a few adjustments to our plan, although our initial design brief was quite correct.

We came up with a few new ideas such as accommodating an outdoors terrace during the summer. We could place some tables and chairs outside the building in a shaded and long area available just next to the Coffee Shop building.
When we studied the place, we also had the idea that a second floor would be very beneficial, not only because it would increment the area, but also because it would be connected with the eating room and also with the toilets, that are on the side.

We also thought of building the Coffee Shop with recyclable materials such as bamboo (because it replenishes very quickly), recycled carpet tiles, recycled rubber and recycled plastic or cork. Here’s a webpage with a lot of useful information about green building materials.

Regarding space, we found out we had enough space available as we expected.  From 10 to 15 tables should fit perfectly.
