This document proposes constructing a small food and beverage building behind a basketball court on campus. It would provide convenient access to drinks and food for students playing sports nearby. The 20m x 20m building would include two restaurants, three smaller shops, and male and female toilets. Inspired by origami, the approximately 50m tall building would have geometric windows and glass doors. Floor plans show the layout and zoning of the different areas, and circulation plans demonstrate movement within the building. The objective is to improve comfort, environment, and shelter students playing sports on campus.

3. Introduction
The site that we have chosen to initiate a small construction project is located
behind the basketball court at Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. It is a 20m
x 20m site where it is overgrown with weeds and will form water puddles after
rain.

4. Site Analysis
The site located behind the basketball court is rather dangerous as it could
be a habitat to the mosquitoes, which may result in the spread of dengue
disease if no proper action is taken.
The reason why we chose the site to as a dining area is because we
acknowledged that it is quite far for people to go to the nearest restaurant
from there (basketball court). The nearest restaurant would be Block A – Block
E‘s restaurant. So, we think that it would be convenient if we have a food and
beverage dining area near the basketball court and also the futsal court.
Other than that, the students can also gain shelter during heavy rains.
Objective
To allow students that plays basketball, futsal, tennis or even people who are
waiting for their friends to finish their practice to gain access easily on food
and beverage in a more convenient way.
We plan to provide sports drinks, healthy food and beverage restaurants such
as fresh juice, protein shakes, energy drinks, organic foods and etc. Toilet will
also be provided as the students don’t have to walk back to the campus just
to empty their bladder or to wash their hands.
The building will be constructed with a roof as students could be sheltered
during the rainy weather while having their food and beverage.
Concept
To create a better environment and accessibility in food and beverages for
the students. To improve comfort, the environment and as a shelter from rain.

5. Benefits
What benefits is it to build a food and beverage place near the multipurpose
hall ?
I . People who are playing sports in the multipurpose hall such as futsal ,
basketball , volleyball or etc always tend to feel thirsty after their game ,
some even feel hungry and they are only given a vending machine which
provides few variation types of drinks . Except going to vending machine to
have a drink , people have to go all the way back to campus to buy a
energy drink or fruit juice to boost up their day . Instead of having few
variation of drinks on the vending machine or walking all the way to campus ,
we want people to feel more convenient while having sports activity in
campus . When they feel tired , they could always stop by our food and
beverage store to get some drinks . We sell energy drink to boost up energy
for people who plays in the multi purpose hall . As for some people , they feel
hungry after their sports activity , it is a must for people to walk all the way to
the campus to get food . But if we have our store there , people don’t have
to walk all the way there just to get food . People could just come to our store
to have their breakfast , lunch or even dinner .
II . As for some people that are waiting for their friends to finish their game , it
is better to have a place to sit on than sitting around the multi purpose hall
with the floor of dirt . we are also air-conditioned in our restaurant so that
people could wait their friends on a comfortable circumstances . Instead of
waiting at the hot platform around the multi purpose hall with no accompany
of food and beverage , why not just dine in our restaurant and have a
comfortable place to wait while having healthy food or drinks ?

7. Building Design
By going through many research online, we have finalized our building’s
design as shown above. It has the feeling of origami as it was inspired by
pictures of paper folding.
The building will be approximately 50m tall with geometric windows and glass
doors . As for the height of the building , it wont be too short so that people
could know it’s existence or too tall and block the other structures nearby . It
was made with geometric window and glass doors to make it visually more
attractive .

8. Floor Plan
The building that we propose is a 20m x 20m building with proper roofing.
In this building, there will be a total of 2 main restaurants, 3 smaller shops, and
also both female and male toilets. In every shops or restaurants, there will be
a kitchen provided which varies in size depending on the size of the lot.
Dining areas are provided for all restaurants except for the smaller shops
where it only provide takeaway services. But even so, students can still enjoy
their food or beverages by sitting at some provided seats outside the
restaurants.
The toilet provided are well furnished with proper piping systems. A wall in
between the restaurant and the toilet acts as a divider to provide a more
hygienic dining area for the students. 8

9. Zoning
As shown in the legend on the right, the colour coding well describe the
distribution of the space in the building which contains counter area , kitchen
, dining area , toilet and walkway .
