Work in Progress of LUMEN RESTAURANT PROJECT

This is what we have to turn in for our midterm as Phase 2 of the projects. There were a lot of requirements from the instructor, we were in the computer lab the entire week that week plus a 24hrs lab on the weekend. *Phew*, I'm so glad I got it done and present it to the class, again this is more of a design development and definitely not the final turn out. This is just a general idea, feeling, and atmosphere that I'm thinking for the restaurant. There will be a lot more changes in the future for the final project. It was also great to see other classmate presenting their project. I think everyone did such a great job on this one. Go girls :)

I know there's a lot more that need to change to make it better but this is what I have for now. I'm still debating a lot about the color of the restaurant plus the lighting. Let's see where this take me. If you have any suggestion, don't hesitate to let me know :)
Good Luck.

Senior Capstone Project

Wow, I can't believe it is our last semester in school. We all will be out doing different things next year: Job, Internship, Thesis...
So here is our last project in school, a nice overall project for all that we have learn along the way.

The client is Union Mission and we are to design a 3 floors building that includes restaurant on the first floor, administrative offices on the second floor, and dormitory on the third floor. The idea for this project is to give the homeless people an opportunity to learn a career. The participants will be given trainings, and practical experiences from working in the restaurant not only as cooks but also waiters, host, etc. While in the program they are provided with housing which is on the third floor of the building. So Here It Is!! Let's make the best out of this.

CONCEPT!!! CONCEPT!! CONCEPT!! One of the first important thing. For this project I chose BIOLUMINESCENCE to be the concept. Here are some of the inspiration images.



And this is the building that we will be working on, it is actually in downtown Sarasota. Wish it is a real project.

I have been going back and forth on the restaurant's name. At first someone give me the idea of naming it COBALT, which is the metal that reflects light. It doesn't really go with the concept since metal is too harsh, so now its name is LUMEN. I like it much better, you can just see the light when you hear that word hihi. And here is the restaurant's logo. What do you think?



Alright!! That's is it for tonight, I have a lot more process work that I am very excited to post up later. Good night world :)
