The
place I visited is called the “New Horizon” and it is a place to provide
service to young teenagers on streets who suffered from family destructions and
the like. The philosophy of that development affect my thinking about designing
for residential by making me further realized how important that a residential
building should remain warm, attractive and welcoming especially for cases like
the “New Horizon”. Likely, I think the most important idea from my visit at
Street Bean Espresso is how to design the place comfortable and “homey” to
attract people to come without any awkwardness or embarrassment . In addition,
I think the warm environment could help avoiding fights and complaints among
those homeless teenagers. The important aspects of human interaction with the
build space considered the special population could be children gaining
services together. There are lots of service provided in that place such like
foods to eat, sofas to lie down and rest, clothes to wear, bathrooms to take
shower, a TV to watch videos and play games, washers and dryers to do laundry and
there are also several computers for people to use. Those services help to
create human interactions among those homeless teenagers. The Street Bean Espresso
was one of my favorite coffee shops I have seen. The environment was really
comfortable and I love the paintings on the wall.
