Site 2

Using an average sized Surry Hills row house block as a site model.

Dimensions: 4000 x 18000mm.

Inherent design considerations:
  • direct natural lighting from the sides of the building near impossible due to their being two-storey common walls with neighbouring blocks - lighting from the roof/ceiling, design roof angles accordingly
  • limited width of rooms, don't want to waste space with corridors etc
  • second level must not overshadow courtyard - have the site on a north/south orientation, with second (attic) level at southern end
