We are Clara Heredia, Pablo Heredia, Guillermo Domínguez and Almudena Miláns del Bosch and we have gone through a project about designing a coffee shop in our school.
It was a few weeks before Christmas when our english teacher encouraged us to do a project like this, and we instantly started coming with ideas and plans, we were very enthusiastic. Our aims were to design a place that everyone in the school could use to have a chat, play cards, have a bite and unwind without being cold (during winter) or hot (during summer).
We knew from the first moment we wanted to design a coffee shop, so the first thing we did was to go outside and search for the best space where it could fit. We came to the conclusion that the Tilo’s garden was the ideal place, as it’s not very used, and it connects with the secretary’s room, the toilets and the eating room. We took measures and we started making drafts, trying some ideas and rejecting others, until we came with the final design, and also with basic statements of how would it work.
We presented our project in our school, and everyone had a good reaction on it. They told us a few things we had to consider, so we worked on them to improve the project.
When we finished it, we felt satisfied, as it covered our expectations. It also has been a gratifying experience, and we hope everyone will enjoy and like it.
