Project 3---Site Analysis (2)

My decision is site 2, reasons for that:

Site 2 is a corner site, has three facades exposing to the streets, which can ensure a more outstanding position of the new design.
As a commercial gallery, to attract vistors come into the gallery is important, site 2 is wrapped by three streets, which all can bring vistors to the gallery


The facade of existing building

Vehicular Access, King St is the busiest street around the site

Pedestrian Access

Adjacent Buildings

On the left is a heritage building---Post Office(10m high)

On the left side is a shop (9m high)

Existing Cafe at the back corner

Environment around back corner


Analysis:

1. Be aware of the adjacent building, especially the dialogue between the heritage building

2. How to attact more vistors to come in, King St occupies a more important position.

3. How to place the building into urban context, the height of the new building, the form....
4. How to deal with sun light, northern and southern light
