1. INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT
1.1 Project Description
It involves construction of library cafeteria at residential area, it’s a
combination of café and a mini library, which located at PJU 3/36 Park
Ville Sunway Damansara. This project will develop this abandoned site for
around 5 years since 2009. The site is a 40 x 30m large but accordingly to
our project requirement, we are only allow to build on a 40 x 20 meter
large land on the site which is 800m2
.
The Library Café is a great choice for breakfast, coffee, lunch or dinner!
It also serves a variety of light meals, snacks and beverage. It’s like a
restaurant or dining room which customers serve themselves or are
served from a counter and pay before eating.
A Library cafeteria don’t just serves food or beverage they also
provide a variety of books and magazine along with comfortable seating
area for reading, meeting or even revising for the teenagers.

2. OUR SITE
2.1 Site Analysis and Observation
Photos of the site
Major element in the site:
-Residential area (Condominium and bungalow)
-Commercial building
- Industrial area
-Entrance which is along the road
People:
As my group and I did observe the this area, the families are majority who
have young kids and teenagers which are majority 13 - 18, there are also
lots of couple who just move in recently.
Location:
This site is nearby is surrounded by residential area and within 5km there
is a commercial zone which is quite famous known as the IKEA, IKANO,
One tama and Giza mall.
5. 4
Facilities:
This site has a playground and lots of different styles of garden. But
unfortunately there isn’t much shop lots or restaurants and café nearby.
Not even have a 7-11 market to buy some snacks or food. The
commercial building is located about 5km away from the residential area.
Access/ Circulation:
Human:
This is a residential area has a rich human circulation as in has a
condominium facing the south. And therefore, in the morning and
evening there will be lots of people jog around the area.
Vehicle:
The area is actually quite deep inside as it is away from the main road and
which means it doesn’t have any much car passing by the area which
makes the area peace and quiet. There will be only people who stay in
this area or either the people who heading towards the industrial area
and the bungalow’s residence will pass by this site.
7. 6
2.2 Site Specification:
South View
-This view show that the site is just along the junction , thus this allow the
car that move along this route can stop by
North View
-This view from my site is just residential area, this show that there is no
other facilities or shop lot surround the site.
8. 7
West/ East View
The west and east view of this site is the also same which is a bungalow,
and this make this site become a commercial area due to it doesn’t have
any competitor.
9. 8
2.3 Problems
After Site analysis and an investigation, I found out that there is a
closest commercial building located 5km away, even though it’s close but
due to its busy traffic at the area the residence have to take around 15 or
in a worse case sometimes 20 minutes to reach the commercial area.
Cycling is not an option because of hot weather and there is no cyclist
way. So, driving is a must for majority to reach a place.
Besides the Comercial Area there also the shop lots and some mini
café and mamak stall located at the residence area facing the south of my
site. But unfortunately it requires a payment of RM3 (Per hour).
Furthermore, it’s hard to find a parking.
2.3 Concept
Building a café is the best option to fit the suitability of this site
because of the site is near enough for the residence, it’s just a 1-5
minutes’ walk to get to the site. Since that the population of the young
age is quite high at this area so building a library café is the best of the
best development ever. A Total perfect area for the youngsters to study
and revise. Besides, the parents who send their kids for art classes or
other classes to this area can go to the cafeteria while waiting for their
kids to end their classes. Furthermore, People who usually don’t cook,
can come over anytime to have their breakfast, lunch and dinner or even
tea time.
10. 9
After investigation and data collection I and my group mate realize
that study environment is a very important thing for the student to
concentrate on their studies and the atmosphere is a big issue between a
productive and an unproductive studies. The purpose of this library café
can attract the teenagers to come here to do their revision is because of
normally student can’t concentrate at home due to a lot of issues and this
distract their focus and this causes the efficiency to be decreased. Hence
the environment at the library café is very important.
11. 10
Atmosphere
My research show that majority of the student prefer
-a quiet place to study
-to station study space at a desk, Soft couches and beds can be comfy,
but probably end up getting some sleep, instead of studying.
-a simple chair that cannot roll or rotate because it probably end up
screwing around with one of those nifty.
-a cup of coffee to stay awake during revision to stay awake.
-studying with headphones on tends to decrease retention/memory,
whereas music in the background can be an aid to study.
12. 11
2.4 Benefits of This Development
-It provide a space for teenagers nearby to come and do their revision.
-There is also an industrial area located at 3km away and this can provide
them a space to meeting or discuss about business issue
-Allow the residence to grab a cup of coffee easily instead of driving away
and stuck in a traffic.
-the user doesn’t need to pay the parking fee
-Have a healthier life style due to walking is more than enough to reach
the café
-Develop the abandoned land for almost 7 years
- Working opportunities also will be increase for the student to work part
time for earning some side income.
2.5 Sustainable Approaches
Construction of this library café’s material must be eco-friendly to protect
the environment and this also will spark awareness of taking care of
environment for the neighborhood as well, the building must be strong
enough to withstand any disaster coming.
Select plants that have low water and pesticide needs, and generate
minimum plant trimmings, Use compost and mulches, this will save
water and time.
Recycled content paving materials, furnishings, and mulches help close
the recycling loop.
Use led light as well to save energy.
13. 12
Maximize light colours for roofing and wall finish materials; install high
R-value wall and ceiling insulation; and use minimal glass on east and
west exposures, energy-efficient heat/cooling system for cooling down
the temperature inside the café.
Select sustainable construction materials such as reused and recycled
content, zero or low toxicity, sustainably harvested materials.
Use dimensional planning and other material efficiency strategies.
These strategies reduce the amount of building materials needed and
cut construction costs.
Reuse and recycle construction and demolition materials
Require plans for managing materials through deconstruction,
demolition, and construction.
Design with adequate space to facilitate recycling collection and to
incorporate a solid waste management program that prevents waste
generation.
Minimize wastewater by using ultra low-flush toilets, low-flow shower
heads, and other water conserving fixtures.
Use state-of-the-art irrigation controllers and self-closing nozzles on
hoses.

4. OUR PROPOSAL
4.1 Concept and design of the proposal
First floor
The concept for the first floor is basically similar to a café, is the area is
mainly for the customer to have their breakfast here and freshly brewed
coffee. Besides there will a small room facing the east specialise for the people
to have a business meeting or discussion. As for the outside there is a small
horizontal parking lot that can fit 11 vehicles.
15. 14
Second Floor
The concept for the second floor is like a mini library but instead of just
reading in this area, it is allow to have your dessert and beverage here. As u
realise there is a huge window with tinted glass at the north, this is to provide
more natural light into the building for the readers.
16. 15
Third Floor
The concept of the floor is like a restaurant, it serve only lunch and
dinner in a buffet style. This area only allows for lunch time and dinner time,
no book are allow to bring from the second floor or fourth floor. The other half
of the area is design in a greenery concept as the carpet is a fake grass and
there are few plants planted in this area to provide a better environment.
There many windows with tinted glass too for this floor to provide a natural
light and for the people to enjoy the beautiful view.
17. 16
Fourth Floor
As for the topest floor, the concept is similar to the second floor which is
a mini library, but in here the customers are to allow to drink or eat. It has to
be quiet for a better environment for the readers to concentrate. Besides
there is a balcony design in way that, many sofas and comfortable chair out
there for the readers to enjoy the night view or morning breeze in the morning
while reading.
