Building Development



Colour code:

Red = public places, entrances to site
White = White gallery
Blue = Street/external gallery
Green = Sculpture courtyard
Black = Black gallery
Yellow = Apartment

White gallery: open, glass, displaying paintings, large artworks
External gallery: displaying graffiti artworks on walls
Black gallery: small rooms, maze-like, controlled lighting, displaying small artworks

Basically, two buildings with different characters (perhaps joined at second/third level) displaying different types of art bordered by “streets” displaying graffiti art.

Trying to figure out where to put all the other spaces – storeroom, shop, workshop (to be intermingled with gallery spaces).

Put the apartment at the northern end as the site is quite narrow there 6000mm, other functions possibly wouldn’t work there, and making an apartment 3000mm wide should be fun.
