On day two we met in the Geoffrey Manton building and discussed the requirements that Esther (The church pastor) wanted for her cafe/classroom space based on our site visit in the previous day. We told the first and second year to students to work on the design for the cafe space, with emphasis on space-saving design as a key design feature as well as flexibility in design which would allow for the cafe room to be also used as a class room on certain occasions, as per the client's needs.

Based on our discussions on how we were going to approach this design project, we decided to allocate different roles for the students in our group. One group was going to focus on the general planning process, another group was going to focus on modeling the site digitally, and another group was focusing on the design of the furniture, especially in relation to space saving design.
