MUSEUM OF COFFEE CULTURE

Softwares used: Revit, Enscape , Photoshop, Illustration

Museum of coffee culture is a project that renovates an unused warehouse into a place to exhibit the narrative of coffee. The project aims to celebrate multiculturalism in Melbourne through the diversity of cultures that are famous for their coffee and provide a narrative about coffee. The concept of this project is to create a sense of coffee throughout the building and ensure that each culture expresses a distinct atmosphere and features. Nevertheless, the development of coffee culture in many countries also carries a significant negative impact on the environment, which is the coffee ground waste; therefore, the museum further encourages the recycle practice when visitors participate in this journey.

GROUND FLOOR PLANS

Scale 1:800

The cultural exhibition in the middle of the building is designed to connect to demonstrate the journey of coffee culture from Europe to Asia. The courtyard in between the cultural spaces operates as an area for planting coffee bushes to spread the aroma of the coffee bean. Furthermore, the cafe at the end combines with the harbour, which is utilized for coffee transportation by the river.

THE LOBBY

The lobby has to present the atmosphere of a coffee museum; therefore, the design idea was to create an area for a coffee tree, which can be the main highlight in the lobby, which will illustrate the concept and spread the aroma of coffee beans to the surrounding. The entrance also uses a warm and dark brown tone for a coffee atmosphere.

03. MUSEUM OF THE HANDMADE

Softwares used: Rhino, Revit, Vray,

The project is to design a museum for the handmade display object in a local context in Vietnam. The project’s mission is to create a sustainable design by analysing the site and providing a shading facade. Designing the facade required time to test the aesthetic effect with sunlight, yet considered the manufactured process. This perspective allowed me to comprehend the sun diagram as well as the wind diagram in order to design a facade.
