Project NarrativeTo design an space for a local business that is called a parklet which is an extension of a sidewalk created from additional parking spaces on the road . Design Concept

After doing some research on all of my possible cites I came to the conclusion that Dairy Queen was the logical cite to build this parklet. Dairy Queen is surrounded by local restaurants, train station, bars, and it does not have seating for its customers. These are a few reasons that made my decision on this cite. As I was considering my design I wanted to show that this was designed for Dairy Queen, but still portrayed what a parklet entails.
