Architectural efficiency : designing with user productivity in mind
View/ Open
Abstract
Workplace productivity is important to the success and operation of any business. If a business can maximize its productivity, it is more likely to succeed and grow. This is especially true in the restaurant and manufacturing industries. My thesis explores the relationship between architectural design and productivity in the setting of a distillery and restaurant located in the town of Golden, Colorado. The layout of my design aims maximizes productivity by creating work areas and service areas that provide employees with the necessary goods and tools to complete their tasks and satisfy customers.
