Project 3| Site Analysis

Site 1 is chosen. The site faces King's Street and backs at Lennox Street. It can be accessed through the carpark also at the back. In view of this, three access is designed for the gallery. It can provide sepearate access to different users when needed.

The site is long and narrow, with 12.6 meters wide and 85 meters long. It is sandwiched by the building from the left and right. The back is north-facing. Natural lighting would be captured from the back. Speical design to the skylight is needed to pull daylight to the shop front.

King's Street is a busy street. It's the main street in Newtown. At the back, there is a quiet park on Lennox Street, opposite to the site. From program perspective, the gallery in the front can attract more customers and the aparment can enjoy some privacy and tranquillity. One thing needs to deal with is the transition from the busy street into the gallery.
