Programming Approach

Two surveys were composed, one intended to study restaurant preferences and the other focused on culinary school. The restaurant preferences survey was distributed among the general public and completed by anonymous participants. The culinary school survey was sent to two anonymous culinary school students, inquiring about the structure of their curriculum and classroom facilities.

Additional research was completed, studying the elements of a restaurant, commercial kitchens, and culinary schools. The information about commercial kitchens and teaching kitchens will be used to inform the kitchen layout and equipment.

Elements of the history and architecture of the site will also inform the design, adjacencies, and floor plan. Research findings also include local cultural and historical information, pertaining to the culinary students, local community who could be potential guests, and the interests of tourists.
