The client for this project clearly instructed our design team that they required a social eating space that also allowed for a residential space. Our design team however wanted to take this further and allow for an integrated social space that would in turn improve the flow and traffic of the public through the city centre of Coventry.
​
The project involved creating a housing establishment on a site established close to the motorway in Coventry. After primary and secondary research of the diverse population within Coventry and the food interest, it has. A focus on cultural eating was established and was used as a tool to bring people together in the atrium space where stalls are positioned, they can cook for each other and be involved within the process.
​
Creating a permeable open inviting social space was crucial to the success of the project which transferred in to the use of curved glass panels and a tensile fabric roof to promote fluidity that helped create bright and airy conditions for such social interactions to take place.
​
The rigid sections of the project such as the housing units required more privacy and subtle measures have been taken to ensure this such as the use of frosted glass, change of levels. These units involved the use of 3D printing as a structural tool which was a lot more efficient, reliable and a cheaper alternative than regular building procedure which ensured the project to be handed on time and lower than the anticipated budget.

FINANCIAL RESEARCH
PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT
​
​
This excel sheets shows the previous costs and income for different projects but enables us to make a comparison between the future and current prices based on estimated assumptions.
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
For example, Materials and supplies are estimated to be GBP 1000 per month to include 3D printing materials and miscellaneous items such as paper etc.
​
However, in the future with the increase in complexity of projects and the scale of them the materials required will increase therefore the cost of it.
​
It will not be a dramatic increase as Research and development in 3D printing is at its fastest to decrease costs and time.
Therefore, a small increase by GBP 100.
Advertising, for example, is higher at the start and is kept at a constant rate GBP 300. One of the higher costs in the monthly outgoings as it is meant to bring us closer to the client base and target audience. However, this number decreases over time as we move away from a lot of engagement on social media to exhibitions on public squares and live demonstrations on public spaces that require little to no cost to hire space.
COMMENTS
SELINE NATOUR & ISAAC MOODY: Nayeem this is great to see how our business will do overall and if our proposed plan will actually pay well! There some areas we do not understand and I think we will need to discuss this in the seminar.
