Site Selection

Rationale in selecting/not selecting each site:

Site 1:

• narrow, 8-10m
• possibility of access from both front and rear
• close proximity to car park and park - public spaces (works well with the free flow of people idea)
• sufficient solar access for external courtyard at rear
• linear scheme

Site 2:

• 3 different sides facing street - free flow of people
• more removed from King Street, especially south side (better courtyard)
• too many sides to address
• non-linear configuration
• expansive - 600m^2 vs. 400m^2 (site 1)

Site 3:

• too close to busy road/intersection
• too restricted, bounded on all sides by buildings
• limited solar access
• angled front difficult to work with

Conclusion: tossing up between sites 1 and 2.
