In this project, I undertook the redesign of my university cafeteria, drawing inspiration from the esteemed skincare brand, Liz Earle. The goal was to infuse the space with the brand's values, creating an environment that not only catered to the campus community but also reflected the ethos of Liz Earle.
I conducted a thorough client assessment, researching Liz Earle's core principles and values to inform the design direction. Using the insights gathered from the client assessment, I developed initial joint and junction models, exploring various materiality and architectural forms that aligned with Liz Earle's brand identity. Building upon the initial models, I crafted a 'Something Special' model that encapsulated the essence of Liz Earle's brand values. This model served as the foundation for the cafeteria redesign. Focusing on the ceiling and floor design, I strategically planned the layout to optimize customer movement and enhance the overall dining experience. Creative problem-solving was employed to design a seamless payment system while accommodating diverse seating zones.
The resulting university cafeteria embodies Liz Earle's values, offering an innovative and engaging space for the campus community. Through creative problem-solving and software proficiency, I seamlessly integrated brand identity into architectural forms, achieving a harmonious design.
