Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit describes the knowledge and skills required to apply researched information to formulate creative and complex interior design solutions to hospitality environments, satisfying the physiological, psychological, social, cultural and environmental requirements of the brief. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the unit |
This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required to design spaces for multi-purpose hospitality environments such as commercial kitchens, bars, restaurants, hotels and function centres. This unit covers employability skills in teamwork and communication in order to work with others in the design process. Planning and organising and problem solving skills are required to apply design processes and initiative and enterprise are required to develop design ideas. Computer aided design technologies will be used. Self management and learning skills are applied to assess and reflect on own design skills and identify areas for improvement. |

Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Analyse the project brief |
1.1. Applicable OHS , legislative and organisational requirements relevant to designing for hospitality environments are verified and complied with 1.2. Project brief is reviewed, confirmed and clarified with client 1.3. Key requirements for the project are assessed and confirmed and constraints determined 1.4. Resources are selected appropriate to work requirements and checked for operational effectiveness 1.5. Communication with others in the design project is established and maintained 1.6. Relevant research is conducted to gain all information which may be used to inform the design process 1.7. All required information is accessed and interpreted to inform the design process |
2. Conduct project research |
2.1. Site analysis is conducted to assess the requirements of the spaces requiring work 2.2. Intended function of the space is ascertained from the client 2.3. Contextual information relating to the brief is researched and evaluated 2.4. Functional and planning issues are determined specific to the site and client requirements 2.5. Issues relating to the hospitality environment are identified and their implications for the design project determined 2.6. Research material is organised and presented in the form of a design proposal 2.7. Project is planned to make effective use of time and available resources |
3. Develop design concepts |
3.1. Multiple ideas and concepts are generated in a creative and diverse manner that is sympathetic to the design brief 3.2. Concepts are presented through sketches, mood boards, concept boards and concept models 3.3. Viability of concepts are assessed in conjunction with others 3.4. Environmental aspects of the project are assessed and design concepts reviewed to ensure maximum energy efficiency is achieved in solution 3.5. Access issues relating the project are identified and addressed in design solution |
4. Design the space |
4.1. Ideas are translated into 3-D space satisfying functional criteria 4.2. Evidence of 3-D notions are explored through modelling 4.3. Idea with the greatest potential for success is presented to promote the design's acceptance using both 2-D and 3-D representations 4.4. Client feedback is sought, amendments are agreed to and recorded, and ideas are revised and refined 4.5. A materials palette is selected to enhance spatial ideas 4.6. Design is modified in response to critical feedback without loosing integrity of the design intention |
5. Revise and refine solution |
5.1. Ergonomic and anthropometric principles are assessed in respect to the space and the intended products 5.2. Spatial planning is further revised and resolved in response to client feedback 5.3. Materials , colours , finishes , fixtures and fittings are selected appropriate to the concept and brief parameters 5.4. Feedback is received through consultation with the client and incorporated into design solution |
6. Prepare a fully rendered client presentation |
6.1. Resource requirements are identified for presentation 6.2. Final design solution is communicated effectively and creatively using a range of techniques and media 6.3. Documentation drawings and material selections are prepared that are consistent with, and that best communicate, the design intent 6.4. Work is completed to plan and within brief constraints 6.5. Client feedback and response is analysed to determine success in achieving client satisfaction 6.6. Own performance in the design process is examined to identify strengths and weaknesses 6.7. Areas for improvement are identified |
