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.

STAGE 5
NO BODY WANTS TO READ LARGE CHUNKS OF TEXT. MY AIM FOR CREATING THESE VISUALLY ENGAGING DIAGRAMS IS TO ALLOW FOR A MORE EASY READ OF HOW OUR SERVICES WORK .
​
IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE VENN DIAGRAM I CREATED FOR THE FRONT PAGE IS LIKE A QUICK CONCEPTUALLY SUMMARY FOR OUR COMPANY TO SHOW OUR 3 CORE VALUES AND HOW ADAPT studio. ONLY RUNS ON ALL 3 VALUES.
