Facilities Design of Mac’s Brew Bar

While the floor will be black that brings out the image of modernity, sophistication, elegance, formality, wealth and mystery.

3.4. Integrates Texture/Colour Dynamic

In addition, it is also important to consider the lighting, which is the single most vital element in designing restaurant. It is important to take note that incorrect lighting can prevent the effectiveness of all the other elements, such as color. Lighting is a critical psychological component, which creates mood. Aside from that, lighting can make a room feel intimate or expansive, subdued or exciting, friendly or hostile, quite or full of electrifying energy (Baraban & Durocher, 2001).

In the case of Yòn Jai, a dimming control system will be used. It will modify the illumination level for optimum psychological effectiveness. The system will changed in response to the time of the day and create different moods for different occasions. The room will feel bright and cheerful during breakfast, restful for lunch, animated for cocktails and romantic for dinners. Because of that, light transition zones will be installed in order to prevent the customers from feeling blinded when they enter from bright sunlight or disoriented when they leave at night (Baraban & Durocher, 2001). Thus, it will be supported by classical and traditional Thai music. There are different researches regarding the behavior of customers which show that music can drive emotions and feelings from the customers. The study of Turley & Milliman (2000) showed that classical music at background led customers to spend more on food and drinks.

4.0 Décor

4.1. Clear Rationale for Décor

In summary, in order to analyze the psychological impact of design elements in servicescapes, it is important for anyone to understand the many ways in which people perceive their surroundings (Barabn and Durocher, 2001).

Researchers have argued from both perspectives; some researchers argue that cognitive states precede emotional states (Lazarus, 1999; Oliver, 1980, 1981), while other argue that emotional states precede cognitive states during the process of evaluation or appraisal (Pham et al., 2001; Swinyard, 1993). The debate remains unresolved. Levitt (1981) notes that when customers evaluate intangible products (e.g., services), they always depend tot some extent on both appearance and external impression; servicescapes, in this context, encompass the appearance and impression of the service organization’s overall products and services. Based on Levitt’s explanation, since the hospitality industry provides a high degree of intangible product levels like services, consumers are likely to use tangible aspects like appearance to make judgments and evaluations. Servicescapes, in this case, are not only an important component of a customer’s impression formation, but also an important source of evidence in the overall evaluation of the servicescape itself and the service organization in general.

According to Gestalt psychology, there are six principles that individuals make use of in averaging or grouping forms (Schiffman, 2001). Each principle may be applied to the design of the physical environment in hotels. The six principles are as follows:

1. Proximity/nearness – individual elements are grouped together according to a similar perceived distance, which can be far or close.

2. Similarity-elements that are similar physically tend to be grouped together.

3. Continuity-elements that appear to point in the same direction are readily perceived as forming a group (continuations of an aspect of a curve), such as along a straight line or simple curve.

4. Common fate-elements that move in the same direction are perceptually grouped together. This has commonality with the principle of similarity, but is applied to moving elements.

5. Symmetry-priority in grouping is given to naturally balanced, symmetrical figures over asymmetrical ones. Symmetry is generally considered a critical factor in aesthetics.

6. Closure-grouping occurs in a way that favours perception of a more enclosed or complete figure.

The overall concept of Yòn Jai restaurant is luxurious. Thus, chairs and tables will be made of high quality dark woods. However, it will maintain simple but elegant environment. In addition, in order to bring up the culture and design of Thailand, shadow puppets will be displayed, together with the different musical instruments that are native in the country.

5.0 Legal Considerations

5.1.1 Building and planning

Building and zoning are domains, which are controlled by Auckland City and the Building Act 2004. Information on the Building Act 2004 is contained within section 6.2 and 6.3 of this repot. Currently, Auckland City has tow plans that impact on zoning, the Isthmus plan and Central Plan. The Isthmus plan relates to the general Auckland geographical area and the central plan relates to the central city Central Business District (CBD). Between these two plans, there 10 different zones are identified but zoning can be distilled into the two basic plans, there are 10 different zones are identified but zoning can bad distilled into the tow basic concepts: Business/Commercial Zoning and Residential Zoning. Difficulty, can occur when businesses want to establish restaurants or other premises within a residential area. When this issue occurs the Resources Management Act (RMA) must be considered. The RMA 1990 will have a profound impact on business plans, and will add both complication and expense. The Resource Management Act 1990 clarifies process and procedure when business wants to operate in non-commercial zones. Currently, Newmarket is a residential and commercial zone from several types of housings and has a major transport routes. (Auckland City Council, 2007).

5.1.2 Environmental Health

Auckland City Council (2007) defined environmental health, “including quality of life that is determined by physical, chemical, biological, social, psychosocial factors in the environment”. Also, it can be referred to the theory and practice of assessing, correcting, controlling, and preventing those parts in the environment that can potentially affect adversely the health of present and future generation.

Environment Health includes the following:

· Food safety

· Noise

· Contaminated sites

· Other Premises ( tattoo, piercing house )

· Housing

· Auditing

· Water quality

· Hazardous substance

· Disease control

· Health Nuisances

· Policy

For food and hospitality industry, however, may include water quality, water waste, noise, and food safety. Key features among these areas are Food Hygiene Regulation 1974 and the Food Act 1981. Food Act 1981 set to become leading fit regular in New Zealand and it is corporate to Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). Within HACCP, there are 7 proactive steps to minimize food contamination, which are:

· Step 1- conducting a hazard analysis

· Step 2- Identify critical control points

· Step 3- Establishing critical limits for each critical control point

· Step 4- Establishing critical control point monitoring requirements

· Step 5- Establishing corrective actions

· Step 6- Establishing record keeping procedures

· Step 7- Establishing procedures for ensuring the HACCP system is

Working as intended

source: (New Zealand Food Safety Authority, 2008)

Within these HACCP steps, auditing, step 6, is important in the food and hospitality industry because it creates record time and temperature. Moreover, Food Hygiene Regulations 1974 are highly prescriptive like Warrant of Fitness, which are reactive. For Yòn Jai , the restaurant, Food Act 1981 is applied for the food hygiene issue because it is a systematic preventative approach to food safety, which is appropriate for Yòn Jai restaurant.

5.2 Outline of Building Act

Every building of houses and buildings are controlled by the Building Act 2004 in New Zealand. The Building Act applies to the construction of new building as well as any changes and destructions of existing buildings. The Building Act 1991 has developed to the Building Act 2004, with a number of changes to the law governing building work. The building consent and inspection process is essential whether it is a new home, commercial building, or for reconstruction, additions, additions, alternations or destruction. The purpose of the Building Act is to make sure that construction work is safe, durable and does cause to danger to health, both for the current and future users of the building without a building consent could result in fines and possibly the removal of the building work. It may also make it difficult to sell the building and get insurance.

The Consent Process

There are examples of work that does require a building consent:

· Structural building

· Plumbing and drainage

· Installing a woodburner or air-conditioning system

· Retaining walls higher than 1.5 meters

· Fences or walls higher than 2 meters, and all swimming pools and their associated fences

· Decks, platforms or bridges more than 1 meter above ground level

· Sheds greater than 10 square meters in floor area

There are examples of work that does not require a building consent:

· A patio or deck at ground level

· Garden trellis less than 2 meters high

· Maintenance of your house

· Building a small garden shed
