RESEARCH SUMMARY

The Blue Zones & Greek Culture Research Summa-

Multi-Sensory Experiences. Recognizing the significance of simplicity in fostering comfort, the design prioritizes a seamless wayfinding system. Beyond mere spatial arrangement, the focus extends to the creation of a sensory experience, acknowledging that in the realm of hospitality, engaging all senses is crucial. This philosophy was expertly applied by the IA team in creating the multi-sensory cafe, “Blue Bottle Coffee.” Understanding that a sense of belonging is crucial, the design harmoniously integrates attributes inspired by legibility, utility, novelty, peace, inspiration, satisfaction, and belonging. Each design element, from the visual aesthetics to the ambient sounds, from the aroma of freshly baked cupcakes to the tactile qualities of the furnishings, contributes to an immersive environment that not only complements the hero of the experience—the cupcakes—but also invites patrons to feel a profound sense of place and belonging.

Designing to Unify.

A thoughtful and inclusive design approach takes into consideration factors such as accessibility, cultural sensitivity, and universal design principles. By prioritizing features like ramps, wider doorways, and clear signage, physical accessibility is enhanced, ensuring that individuals with mobility challenges can navigate the space comfortably. Additionally, embracing a variety of cultural elements in design aesthetics and incorporating flexible layouts allows for a more inclusive atmosphere, catering to different preferences and backgrounds. Furthermore, designing with empathy involves considering sensory aspects, such as lighting and acoustics, to accommodate those with sensitivities. Ultimately, the goal is to foster a sense of belonging for everyone, promoting a space where individuals of varying abilities and backgrounds can coexist, interact, and thrive together.

The Blue Zones, renowned for their longevity and well-being, include regions across the globe where people consistently live healthier and longer lives. While Greece is not a designated Blue Zone in its entirety, certain Greek islands such as Ikaria have gained recognition for their high percentage of centenarians and low rates of age-related diseases. The cultural emphasis on communal gatherings and a relaxed pace of life further underscores the positive impact of these lifestyle choices.

Design Goals

Telling A Story. Brand identity is a crucial facet of interior design as it serves as the visual and experiential embodiment of a company’s values, personality, and mission within a physical space. The design choices, color schemes, and overall aesthetic convey a narrative that reinforces the brand’s essence, creating a cohesive and memorable experience for visitors. Consistent brand representation fosters recognition and trust, allowing patrons to connect with the space on a deeper level. It transforms a physical environment into a tangible expression of the brand, shaping perceptions and influencing the overall customer experience. In essence, brand identity in interior design is a strategic and visual language that communicates the unique story and values of a business to its audience.

Concept Statement

CONCEPT STATEMENT

This design concept draws inspiration from the timeless principles of balance, repetition, and symmetry inherent in Greek culture, seamlessly intertwined with the dynamic elegance of radial design. Embracing the symbolic power of circles, a key motif in ancient Greek art and architecture, the space unfolds as a harmonious symphony of interconnected elements. Circular patterns, reminiscent of Greek motifs like the meander, adorn surfaces, establishing a visual rhythm that resonates with the country’s historical aesthetics. The radial design principle is employed not only to create visually striking focal points but also to evoke a sense of unity and equilibrium, mirroring the Greek emphasis on balance and order. The deliberate repetition of circular forms instills a feeling of continuity, inviting occupants to explore the space with a rhythmic flow. Overall, this design concept celebrates the profound connection between radial design and Greek cultural ideals, forging a space that is not only visually captivating but also deeply rooted in the principles of harmony and symmetry.

The menu consists of all natural ingredients and healthy alternatives. Sourcing natural and wholesome components, such as organic flours, fresh fruits, and minimally processed sweeteners, the cupcakes become not only indulgent treats but also contribute to a healthier lifestyle. This approach aligns with a growing awareness of the impact of food choices on overall wellbeing, offering customers a guilt-free option for satisfying their sweet cravings. In essence, a cupcake shop championing natural ingredients becomes a haven for those seeking a delightful and health-conscious treat, embodying the culture of one of the blue zones; Ikaria, Greece.

Option A: Option B:

This option is ultimately the best option for this specific concept of the two. The entry has an adjacent and clear path to and from the ordering and pick up. The restrooms are placed in the center of the building with easy access from all sides. An acoustic flexible wall provides storage for the event space while reducing noise in the open environment. And the connection between the work zones creates the most beneficial flow for employees.

Option B has some beneficial aspects like the linear and clear paths to the ordering and pickup. Although, the restroom is better off centralized on the plan and the work zones remain unconnected. Additionally the private office would only be accessible through the Prep station, not making it comfortable for those who may need to meet regarding the event space.
