INTRODUCTION
In this particular project, we are divided into pairs and were tasked to measure a
30mx30m site around the Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus compound. We have
chosen the site on the middle of the lake.
We are proposing to combine food and beverage & rest area together on the middle of
the lake for the students of this university. The construction of this rest area takes place
from the stairs by the lake towards the center of the lake. We will be making a bridge for
the students to go to the rest area.
PURPOSE
The aim of this project is to give the students and lecturers a better place to relax and
chill. This place will give people the best in terms of chilling, relaxing and a place to gain
ideas and stuff. Besides relaxing, people can have a cup of tea or coffee since there is a
café in our rest area.
Our site is also built on the lake which is near to the hotels and hostels so that the
students do not have to walk all the way to the open space located in the academic
block to rest or hanging out with their friends.
Below are the pictures of our site:

SITE ANALYSIS
Our site is located on the lake in between the commercial block and the academic block.
Since our site is only 30mx30m, we chose the left part of the lake to propose our
planning. The lake is very peaceful and beautiful, so that is why we chose it as our site.
There are existing hardscapes there which makes the surrounding better but it is not
enough. That is why we are proposing this rest area planning. It will not affect the lake
where the sea creatures are, we are just making it better.
OUR SITE

Since our construction area will be on the lake, we have to make a strong base for the
rest area to be built. There will also be bridge for the students to crossover, we will
ensure that the base of the bridge is stiff and sturdy enough to be able to hold.
SITE PLAN

CONCEPT OF THIS SITE PLANNING
THE CONCEPT
The concept of this rest area is people can rest and chill while having a cup of either tea
or coffee. This rest consists of two levels which is the ground level and the upper level.
On the ground level, there will be the café and also tables and stools which is inspired
by the bar. It is for the people who wants to enjoy coffee in an elegant way. There are
also rest chairs and low tables for those who are considering doing their assignments
here. We included hammocks which we hang them beside the trees so people can take
a nap after a long day of studying.
On the upper level or floor, there will be resting sofas which we considered putting for
the couples. There are six of them with tables besides them. They can hang out up here
while looking on the surroundings of Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus.
Since it is a trend now people taking pictures of where they are or where they have been
to, this rest area will be a good place to take one. We will make sure that this place
receives a lot of good comments from the insiders nor the outsiders. If there is any open
day or receptions held in Taylor’s University, this place can be used as a casual meeting
place. Or maybe a small wedding can be held here.

SKETCH PLAN OF PROPOSAL

HARDSCAPE CONCEPT PLANNING
This picture shows the idea of our rest area’s resting
chair. It is made up of rattan so that it will last long. It is
also durable and it can stand the heat and rain. Except
for the cushion, we are changing it into a waterproof
material which does not absorb water during rain.
These chairs comes in set along with the coffee table.
We will be putting four sets of this rattan chair and
coffee table on the lower floor of our rest area.
This is hammocks. We are hanging this on the
tree. We will be hanging four of these around
our rest area. People can use this hammocks
for relaxing or even napping. It is also durable.
We need to choose the material of this
hammock wisely so that it would not absorb
heat. After choosing the material, we will be
spraying a waterproof spray so that the
hammocks does not absorb water when it rains
because our rest area does not have any
roofing.
Round rattan sofa is used on the upper level of
our rest area. We are putting six of these along
with a small coffee table beside each one of it.

The upper level will be filled with big trees so that it gives the shady effect and so that
the people would not be too exposed to the sun when they hang out up here. People
can also sleep on these sofas since it is quite long and big. The material we use for this
rattan sofa is as the same as the rattan chair we use on the ground level.
This is our inspiration for the café in our rest area. It is a place for the students to have a
drink. We only sell coffee and tea to cut down the cost of this café. People who chill at
our rest area do not have to go all the way to Starbucks in the commercial area just to
get a drink even though it’s not that far. We serve the best coffee and the best tea for a
full satisfaction of the customers. The concept of our café is bar-like. Where we have
tables attached to the kitchen table of the café. We will also be putting stools to
enhance the bar feel.
This is a bar stool which we will be putting in our rest
area. It is black in colour which is contrast from the bar
table which is red in colour. We will be putting 20
stools along the bar.
This is the design of
staircase that we have
chosen for our rest area. It
connects the ground level
and the upper level. We chose this round staircase is
because it is sleek in design. It also saves spaces. It also suits
our concept and theme for this rest area.

Our site planning is on the lake which makes the
student could not go there without a bridge.
Therefore, we are making one. The bridge is
connected from our rest area to the stairs by the
lake. It is three meter bridge. As for the bridge, we
have to build a strong base to hold the bridge for a
very long time. Besides than base, we also need
some things to keep it sturdy and safe.
Furthermore, we are going to add tiles on top of
the bridge that suits the tiles at the rest area which
is light brown in colour. Almost like caramel but
darker.
These are the ceiling lights for our rest are. We chose ceiling
lights over normal light stand is because this saves much space
and electricity if we use LED lights. Other than that, this ceiling
light suits our concept and our planning. We will only be
installing this lights under the upper level part so that it would be
too dark at night.
These are ground lights that we use for our
site planning. The reason why we chose this
is because, at night it will give a very
beautiful, sultry effect to the rest area
which makes everyone wants to relax and
chill there. It also saves much space so that

we can use the space for something else. It also saves energy and electricity by using
LED lights. We are also going to install a timer for all of the lights so that it is turned on
according to the scheduled time.
SOFTSCAPES CONCEPT PLANNING
This is a Winnersh Meadows tree. We
will be planting this tree around our
rest area. For the ground level, we will
be planting this tree then plant the
bushes and then plant this big tree
again. So that it gives enough sunlight
in our rest area. On the upper level,
this is the only tree that we are going
plant along the rest area.
This is a round shrub. We will be planting this
shrub alternating with the big meadow tree. We
chose this round shrub because it suits our site
shape. It is also cute and beautiful to be planted
on our rest area.

PLANTING PLAN

Plant2

PLANT 1
This is a tree located in the Winnersh
Meadows Park. Since it is located there,
they name this tree as a symbol of their
park, Meadows.
PLANT 2
A shrub is distinguished from a tree by its
multiple stems and shorter height, usually less
than 6 m (20 ft) tall. Plants of many species may
grow either into shrubs or trees, depending on
their growing conditions. Small, low shrubs,
generally less than 2 m (6.6 ft) tall, such
as lavender, periwinkle and most small garden
varieties of roses, are often
termed subshrubs or bushes.

BENEFITS OF OUR FOOD&BEVERAGE
AND REST AREA
Different places has different approach and purposes of its own. Our purpose of this
project is to give and built a better place for the people to relax and release their stress
after a long day of studying and doing assignments. Besides than having purposes, we
also need to have the benefits of our built spaces towards the mankind.
Therefore, the benefits of our rest area is to give people the best of relaxation place. We
have the most beautiful surroundings around the rest area and the rest area itself is nice
and it suits the mood to relax. This rest area makes Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus
more beautiful. People can also use this rest area as a place for them to study or do
their assignments as it will be a calmer and peaceful place.
While hanging out, relaxing nor studying, people can have a drink from the café that is
in our rest area. People can have a chat while sitting at the bar stools or while sitting at
the resting chair.
On the upper level, couples can have a chat there. Or maybe not just couples, a bunch
of friends can hang out up there too. They can have discussions or meetings. They can
also celebrate a small birthday party or anniversaries up there since it’s an open space
and it is a nice place to take pictures with.
Other than that, students of Taylors University Lakeside campus may have a lot more
choices of where to relax and hang out rather than just have one. Changing place will
give you good vibe to start your work or anything you are about to do.

CONCLUSION
As for the conclusion, this rest area is very suitable for students who are in need of a
new relaxing place or as a place to study besides the existing ones. Other than that, it is
a good place for a catching up session with your long lost friends or maybe having
some group discussions either with your group mates or the lecturers.
Even though this rest area might not be big enough to fit all of the students of Taylors
University Lakeside Campus, it is still beneficial for some of the students. People can
take turn hanging out here so that it will be fair to all of us. A 30mx30m site is absolutely
enough for planning a rest area.
Lastly, we really hope that this rest area planning will be a considerable thing for the
Head of Taylors University to consider. Besides than that, we really hope the student
body will enjoy this place as much as we enjoy planning it. We also hope that this place
will be a place with benefits to all of the student body and will be a very convenient
place to relax and releasing those tense.
