Project Goals The space will provide a clean and open floor plan for the easy reconfiguration necessary for art display and communal gatherings.
The building will accommodate customers, employees, and delivery personnel by creating private spaces and entrances that are adjacent, and have easy access, to public spaces.
The space will have a comfortable, modern aesthetic that incorporates easy access for all individuals. This will help unify the entire space and make it user-friendly.
7
Project Goals The facility will provide an energetic communal cafĂŠ space that visually conjoins with the gallery, though is a distinct and separate space. The cafĂŠ and retail space will encourage a humming community, while the gallery will provide a space geared towards education and serene reflection.
The facility will act as an art education center for community and guest groups, as well as individuals.

Literature Analysis Cooler Than Cool William Bostwick for Interior Design Magazine, October 2009
Main Issue: This article addresses the “split personality� of a restaurant space, and its ability to accommodate different needs (day vs. night, summer vs. winter, busy vs. slow). It also covers clever uses of materials and variation within the design that enhances and unifies the space as a whole.

Literature Analysis Major Findings/Application Focus on the experience rather than the product Experiment with something new and unassuming - it’s that unique factor and feel that will keep people coming back. Create a variety of spaces for the variety of reasons that people are drawn to the café
Utilizing every square foot is important. Using angles will help keep the space modern as well as keep us “out of the box” mentality and away from ordinary seating solutions A material with a lot of character would give a completely different feel to the space rather than the plain old “color solution.” Strive for something that is modern, rich, accommodating and original

Literature Analysis Retail Space Planning: Part 1 William R. Blake for Furniture World Magazine, 4/1/2002
Main Issue: Tips and tricks from a 40 year industry veteran on how to make the most of every inch of space in a retail setting. Using a simple walk through and check list to make the most profit per square ft. while leading the customer on an aesthetically pleasing journey.
Source: The author’s 40 years of retail space panning experience

Literature Analysis Major Findings/Application Williams Blake’s check list a & how we will use it in our space
Brightness: Exterior lit in an attractive & safe manner Display Windows: Tasteful displays that make sense or even tell a story Color Association: Choose colors that work well together Active Demonstration: Add interest to displays Lighting: Light products in a pleasing manner Exterior Signs: Choose signs that properly represent your image Entrance Doors: Consider this a space for info important to the customer Entry: Maintenance and lighting is key Interior Lighting: Bright spaces that showcase products Focal Points: Great for organizing spaces and creating traffic patterns Aisles: Consider them a guided tour through the merchandise Displays: Maintenance is key – don’t forget to include 3’ around for traffic Non-Selling Area: Make sure these areas are properly marked and maintained 12
Literature Analysis Daylight Simulation as an Architectural Design Process in Museums Installed with Top Lights Chang-Sung Kim & Seung-Jin Chung for the Department of Architectural Engineering, Hyupsung University, Bongdam Eup, Hwasung Si, Gyeonggi Do, July 15, 2010
Main Issue: This research is in response to that thought of many artists that works or art should be displayed in the same lighting conditions that they were created in. Since, irregular distribution of daylight and the direct sunlight passing through the windows may cause difficulties in display and conservation, it is vital to conduct detailed research that explores the lighting distributions in the museum spaces. This paper examines the integration of natural light within a museum’s architecture, based on scale model measurements and computer simulations by using RADIANCE.
13
Literature Analysis Major Findings/Application It is important to embrace the design details and possible outcomes of the solutions for natural lighting The quality and orientation of lighting is very important for display of art pieces Remember that sunlight consists of infrared radiation and ultra violet lights; it is likely to cause discoloration and deterioration on the displayed material & it may also cause glare
Current windows and skylights should be taken into consideration, before locating any other design elements to the space Since inadequate lighting conditions may lead to possible misinterpretation of the art pieces and/or unpleasant visitor contentment, it is important to provide a thorough lighting design that includes both natural lighting and artificial lighting, depending on the requirements of the spaces

Color Scheme, Materials and Furnishing Plans
42
Gallery Space The color scheme for the gallery space consists of cool gray tones, as shown. These achromatic/neutral colors are selected so that there will not be any distractions caused by colors, when examining an art piece. Also, the selection of color scheme will contribute to an even distribution of light within the space. Minimal furnishings and open floor plan will allow the curators to reshape the gallery space based on their needs. Track lighting will permit individual light positioning.

ADA Regulations 4.1.6 Accessible Buildings: Alterations 1.
General. Alterations to existing buildings and facilities shall comply with the following: a) No alteration should be undertaken which decreases the the accessibility or usability of a building b) If existing elements are altered then each alteration should comply with the minimum requirements for new construction c) If alterations of single elements amount to an alteration of a room or space within a building or facility, the entire space should be made accessible f) If an escalator or stair is planned where none existed previously and major structural modifications are necessary for installation, then means of accessible vertical access should be provided
Application: We plan on making the entire building accessible for all users. The spaces within the building will be very open for easy traffic patterns, which include five foot turn radiuses for wheelchair users. There will also be an elevator added to deal with accessible access to the second floor. Unisex bathrooms will be on both floors of the building to accommodate everyone. We also plan on adding a ramp so that the front door is more accessible for all user types.

The forward and side reach standards will be addressed in the retail, reception, and cafĂŠ spaces. Everything will have either an available side or front approach or both.
52
LEED Goals LEED Rating We would like to achieve at least a LEED Silver Accreditation which is 50-59 points.
Sustainable Site
•We are using a preexisting building that has CATA Bus access within an up and coming community with available parking and bicycle rack.
Water Efficiency
• The use of low flow faucets on all sinks as well as water efficient toilets will allow the conservation of water throughout the facility.
Energy & Atmosphere •We will be using energy efficient lighting sources with controls and motion sensors. The HVAC system will be the most efficient we are able to install within the budget. All equipment and appliance will be Energy Star. Solar panels and roof gardens will be utilized as supplemental green energy sources.
Materials & Resources •Recycling stations will be located in several areas throughout the building. We see there being little turnover in the space after the renovation is completed. We will try to create the least amount of construction and use waste in creative ways. Materials and furniture will be sustainable, locally acquired, and second hand when possible.
Indoor Environmental Quality • Regarding indoor air quality we will select low emitting materials and monitor emissions with proper detectors. Windows will provide natural light and thermal comfort , this will also be controlled by a heating and cooling system.
53
Conclusion Achieving this LEED silver building was only possible by evidentiary design tactics. By gathering information first hand and analyzing the current conditions, we utilized the information to transform the building into our Multi-Purpose Community Gallery Space.
The space we have created is a place where locals will be able to gather and experience art and culture close to home. It is a multi-functional facility that encourages community by bringing people together to shop, eat, gather and learn.
