Part 1: Project Analysis
Case project description
The selected project is the construction of the Greenhouse Restaurant situated at Luxes’ Island in Chengdu, China. The island is well situated in the Luxelakes eco-city, therefore, providing a suitable destination for urban retreats within the location (Parsa & Kwansa, 2014, 31). Generally, the project involves the construction of the restaurant section, entertainment buildings, and outdoor sporting activities. Significantly, the buildings should provide plentiful spatial experience for visitors and use an appropriate architecture in the design and construction. For a long time, the location has experienced a minimum number of restaurants with less comfort from clients. Thus, by putting up this project, the investment group aims at enhancing efficiency and sustainability in the restaurant buildings in order to improve on customer’s satisfaction and experience. According to statistics, the city is experienced an increased growth in the number of both domestic and international visitors. This is due to the availability of folk customs as well as ancient towns in the town.
Importantly, the project is to accomplish several goals including the building of a landscape architecture by using traditional materials in the construction and the design of green buildings. For instance, the local soil will be used in building rammed earth walls that increase privacy in addition to minimizing interior costs. Moreover, the rammed earth walls are to improve on the warmth of the indoor facilities in winter and cooler summers. Due to the increase of visitors on certain occasions, the investment group requires the building to be designed with private and public dining spaces which can be connected on an occasional basis to create larger spaces. Therefore, the project will involve local residents in completing the tasks to their knowledge and expertise in the required architecture.
