Modern Community / Cafeteria
Summary
In this section, our firm brainstormed the ideas on how to remodel the Mira Loma cafeteria.
Our director of landscape design is using the following materials and design inspirations:
• Alstroemeria, lilies, lisianthus, tulips, and poppies; these flowers mostly grow year round.
• Water source; the landscape designer that came to talk to us has inspired us, and that way we can reuse rain water to water the plants.
• Solar panels around the top sides of our roof building, to give power to the water filter and some of the lighting in the building.
• Elevator for ADA purposes.
• The soil from the plants will cool down the building.
Our director of interior design is using the following materials and inspirations:
• Surface for all tables; all surfaces are paperstone. The company that inspired us was CaraGreen.
• Lighting; energy efficient by Energy Star company.
• Toilets; for solid waste is 1.6 gallons and for non-solid waste is 0.76 gallons inspired by Toto Aqua company.
• Stainless steel for kitchen fridge, ovens, and stove by Traulsen company.
• Tiles for bathrooms are made from post consumer recycled waste, granite dust and glass cutting operations by Fire Clay Tile Company.
• Flooring; The floors are going to be granite by the Aldon company.
Our director of sustainable energy and resources is using the following materials and inspirations:
• Solar panels; saves energy.
• Water collectors; inspired by the guest speaker.
• Windows; reduce the amount of energy needed to light up the space.
• Glass; low-E - it has clear coating of metallic oxide.
• Garden on the roof and waterfall cools down the building.
