INTRODUCTION
This project requires the student to construct a mini project that
serves a specific purpose. Each group consist of 2 members which
they need to choose a specific purpose for their site from recreation
area, they enhancement area, rest area, food and beverage (dining
area) or commercial area (exclude food and beverage). After choosing
a topic, students is require to choose a site within the campus and the
site is limited to a size of 30m x 30m. Student needs to do research
and analysis before doing the report.
In this assignment, we will learn the understanding of coherent
working relations among various industry players and to improve the
communication channels. Besides, we also create and awareness of
our profession responsibilities and to appreciate their profession in the
construction industry.

Introduction to the Site
In this assignment, our site will be located within the Taylor’s
University Lakeside Campus. Me and my group has discussed about it
and came out with a plan to recreate the area, which is the balcony
that located at Block E, level 2. It is a very suitable place for
recreation since it is a wide opening area and it is not used currently,
we found that it is a waste, so we choose that place.

Site Analysis and Observation
The site we had chosen is place at Block E, level 2, the Balcony.
The size of the site is approximately 27m x 15m. It has a railing of 1.2
metres high along the side of the site. There is also a roof which have
3 metres extending out from the right railing of the site. Facing out at
the south will be the car park and the sport area. Towards the west
will be the view of the opposite off balcony the same level. Looking
towards the east, there will be a view of large trees and residential
area. Finally, looking towards the south-west, there we can see
Taylor’s lake.

Suggestion and Proposal
There are few important thing we need to take note when
recreate or design a food and beverage area. The most important thing
is guest comfort. Next is building automation, and followed by green
perspective.
To create a harmony feeling, we need to combine the design of
elements, lightning, and other components such as odor and
temperature significantly influence the well-being of your guests.
Building automation, a preprogrammed parameter in the
building automation and control system allow us to adapt the
environment to fit guest comfort. Since this is an outdoor restaurant,
the only thing is adjusting the light.

12. 12
Suggestion & Proposal
- We decided to create an outdoor restaurant. It’s a totally open
area with no wall or roof.
- We decided to run a buffet restaurant.
- We will build the kitchen at the corner, which located at the left
side of the site, to separate it from customer.
- There will be a bar in the middle, to server drinks or snacks.
- As we are running a buffet restaurant, there will be a table with
10m long in the middle to server all the foods.
- Use energy saving concept, light or air conditional, together
with automation control system as mention in above.
- Create a waiting area, for customer to wait for their table or
turns, also can use as a rest and chill section.
- Do not arrange the tables to be too close to each other, create
more space for walking and more comfort.

Sketch of Concept & Idea
The concept of our idea is about recreation a site into a food and
beverage (dining area). The idea is about create a restaurant with a
sky bar. The restaurant will server buffet and the bar will server
drinks. The example we found is the Sirocco Sky Bar, Bangkok.
The kitchen will be at the left side of the site. It is a U shape
kitchen. There will be a bar in the middle. The purpose of putting a
bar is to server drinks and snacks.
Example of the bar.

15. 15
There will be a table with length 10m be placed in the middle to
server all the food.
There will be only 18 table are available in this restaurant. We doesn’t
want to add more because it will makes the place smaller and feel
uncomfortable.
There will be a rest and chill section for customer to wait for their
turns or tables. It’s open for everyone whoever want to come here and
enjoy, it doesn’t has to be our customer. The size of this area is 5m x
15m.

Materials
Chairs & tables:
We are using some high quality chairs and table, to bring comfort to
customers. The chairs will be in white colour and the table will be
made out of glass.
Lightning:
There are two type of lamp we will add into our site, one is like
garden lamp, another is wall lamp, with create a comfortable feeling.
Reason we choose this two type of lamp is because they won’t release
a huge amount of light with hurt people eyes, especially when night
time.

18. 18
Waiting and Chill Area:
In this area, we will add some bean bag chair and tables for people to
relax. The railing that around this waiting area, we will be using
Radiance Railing, it is one kind of wooden railing.
Plants:
We will implant this “Ixora cocinea” plants along the railing, here is
some information about this plants.
Ixora coccinea
Ixora coccinea - Ixora is a genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family. It
consists of tropical evergreen trees and shrubs and holds around 500 species.
Though native to the tropical and subtropical areas throughout the world, its
centre of diversity is in Tropical Asia.

Rationale and Benefits of your project in to the
client and the surrounding community / end user.
Our chosen site is located at Taylor’s Lakeside Campus, Block
E, Level 23, the balcony. The topic we choose to recreate our site is
food and beverage.
Rationale:
 To bring that place to life.
 This site is originally an open space with rarely any people uses
it and there is no other purpose other than viewing the school
outdoor.
 It would look nicer, implanting green pocket to the site.
 Enhance scenery of the site because it look empty with no
purpose using it.
Benefits:
 It would be more convenient for students or stuff to have their
food and beverage.
 Creating more business opportunity.
 Creating more jobs.
 Helps client to bring money to the community.
