Cafe in Atlantic Ave.
The project designs a new cafe on the site of 525 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY. The café's space is a place where people interact and build community. This adaptive reuse project tells a story of the existing site through design for people visiting. Using Revit, it explores and focuses on the method of creating construction drawings and details of the construction process. It helps to understand the actual process of the construction field and how design comes to life in real-world applications.
