Detailing and Working Drawings: Assignment 1 - Observation 'Journal' Part 1.

Before our semester break, we were given a task where we have to sketch 20 detailing drawings based on our Interior Design Projects II cafe project. We were told to visit different cafe and sketch 10 interesting and unique built-in or loose furniture and 10 interior elements of floor, wall and ceiling.

During our semester break (18/05/2015-22/05/2015), I took the chance to go cafe hunting. I have been wanting to do cafe hunting before and I finally get to do it with a good reason. Throughout the whole cafe hunting for 3 days, I got to taste delicious food/drinks and learn how detailing works in a furniture and interior elements they had in their cafes.

I went to 6 cafes in total. Madamme Waffle and Magnum Cafe @ Mid Valley Megamall, Coffea Coffee, The Library Coffee Bar @ Sunway Pyramid, Ode Art Cafe @ SS15, Subang Jaya and Oldtown Cafe @ Taylor's University Lakeside Campus.

As per asked, I'll be posting 10 of my favourite/best sketches.

The first two of my favourite sketches are from Madamme Waffle in Mid Valley Megamall.

The whole purpose of me choosing the place was because I wanted to eat waffle and they had pretty unique furniture used for the cafe. I sketched a few from this cafe and these two are my favourite

This may be a typical chair you see everywhere but the way it is built is something unique in my point of view. How the whole chair structure is using metal and weld it into a shape of a chair is pretty interesting. It's amazing how metal can do wonders for us.

Installing tile flooring is something I always find interesting. The steps you have to take seriously before placing the tiles are very precised. One mistake, and your tiles won't be place in a proper way. Other than that, it's very rare to see 100x100 tile flooring now so seeing this cafe had one, I just can't help it but sketch it out.
