Left Wing Key Areas
Reception – The reception is where users are first introduced to the site and function. It is a welcoming build-up of materiality and sets the tone for the rest of the users journey. The reception desk will provide guidance for users to identify what area of the site they wish to utilise which supports user way finding. This is where most user groups will interact with each other as they split up into their desired key area.
Produce Shop – The produce market is a space where users can first hand purchase and utilise the seasonal goods produced from the community allotment. This gives them an experience of what is currently being utilised within the restaurant within. The market also supports jarred goods, seeds and gardening tools. This encourages users to take the sustainable practices of the site back to their own homes. It also encourages shared community efforts as the allotment is supported by the community and volunteers. The warm colour pallet supports the transition between spaces as it visually connects the wing to the red brick of the main area of the building.
