project 3: Art Gallery, Shop/ House

This project is about designing an art gallery with a residential part within. We could choose our site among 3 sites located on King street, Newtown. Among these sites, I had to decide which site could offer the most opportunities for playing with ideas of organisation of circulation and manipulating interesting lighting qualities. The one I chose was the longest and narrowest envelope and has a number of interesting contextual qualities: the unrestricted access to the Lennox St backstreet and Camperdown Memorial Rest Park; and the neighboring icons of student culture such as the Dendy Cinemas and small restaurants; and the almost maligning presence of the church.
