Coffeehouse/Social Justice Hub

Bellevue College is a public college in Bellevue, Washington. Bellevue College is the largest of the 34 institutions that make up the Washington Community and Technical Colleges system and the thirdlargest institution of higher education overall in the state. We are designing a Coffee Hub located in parking 7 at Bellevue College by putting together a list of wants and must-haves in for the program based on the user needs and the design qualifier. My goal is to create a space that can help create community. A space that can bring people together to socialize and interact. Bellevue College is a space that welcome everybody, includes all communities, a mixture of social, cultural and economic connections between religious, class and ethnic groups, between affluence and poverty and between generations as well.

Design Concept

Interlock is to become locked together or to intersect and interconnected. To connect so that the motion or operation of any part is locked together. After working at my mind map, I found out that all of the elements I covered are connected and I see them interlocked to create the big picture. The idea of interlock can be an element that connect to another to create one bigger element. Looking at the Coee-House and Social Justice Hub that is located at the Bellevue College campus, this can be described as a space interlock inside another. The concept of interlocked can be found in primary elements like walls, and can be applied in secondary elements like shelves, materials use and furniture. It can also be used in the idea of interlocking nature and the building.

Designing a public space like a coffee hub, in a high traffic area like a college campus, it’s very important to clearly defin paths of travel, have logic layout that is easy to understand and people feel safe in, and use a good contrast to make it easier for everyone to see clearly.

I have reached this goal by:

Avoiding tights hallway

Use clear signage

Use good contrast (mainly with wood)

382 | Floor Plan Scale : 1/8” = 1’-0”

Book Stations area is located in the front of the building where it craetes an easy acesses for users and it gives the useres a moment to study the building path are right next to them

Gathering area is meant to be in the center of the building, where all useres get a chance to socialize with each other.

Custome design tables. Where nature is intelocked in the space and the tree in the middle of the table brings the outside in. Wooden ceiling element with Interlocked beams Conceret floor with pattern to create an intelocked look

Ceiling heights variety, gathering space and coffee bar are more open spaces with the interlocked ceiling elements, where closed rooms are lower ceiling.

Clear restroom signage to help users find restrooms easier

Durable linen micofi-ber upholstery

Concrete floor with pattern to create an intelocked look

Warm palette of materials create a sense of coziness. Rug to absorb sound

Acoustic panels to absorb sound
