The space will be multi-functional as a gallery space, a bar or cafe/bar, and also host other activities such as various art workshops, dance performances and lessons, music performances and lessons, and more ...
My fantasy situation for the sake of my design brief is that it is a group of people, a collective come together from different industries to share a space that creates something different. A beautiful art deco style building has been bought in the inner suburbs of Melbourne and the next stage is to begin the design concept for the business.
The blog in itself has a design brief in that it be a tool for the collective to view the project's process and give ideas, comments and feedback by subscribing to the blog.

Hopkinson Gallery, studios and Tea bar , The Art Organisation Nottingham: (from my hometown nonetheless) has similar elements as I'd like to incorporate into my concept. They also have a range of activities the space is used for, such as Yoga, life-drawing and pole dancing (!)

I do realise that the idea of having a bar alongside a place of learning/creating could be seen as controversial, but I think there could be a balance reached where the bar is perhaps not always open, is shut while there are activities on. Obviously certain activities, such as samba classes would match perfectly with the bar, as after class finishes the class can have a few drinks, do some socializing and practice more of their moves.

I want the concept to appeal to a wide range of the community, and of all ages (over 18 years of course as were dealing with a licensed premise). As there will be lots of different activities/different types of artists/event/music etc ... etc ... I want to appeal to as wider range of people as possible in the aesthetics. Perhaps the design for promotional material could be a composition of the business logo and the event could have its own space which could be targeted style wise to different audiences/demographics.
