Concept

ENTRANCE:

• Facade is created that is similar to all the buildings that are on King St.
• Does not stand out and hence, the building does not seem 'random'.
• However, the facade is cut a little, to make this building different to King St.
• This cut allows the public to enter the gallery, in a more 'secretive' way.
• Angle of facade allows the public to enter into this building in 'curiosity'.
• The only main glimpses that the public can see is through the cut of facade.
• The large scale wall (that starts from the entrance) is a guide to show the length of the building and to also emphasize the laneway.

PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACES:

• The public space is the art gallery and is at the front of the site.
• The private spaces (apartment, office, studio, storage space) is on the otherside.
• However, although they are separated they are similar in rooms, making each room/space not random
• The public space and private spaces are divided by walls

MOVEMENT/CIRCULATION THROUGH THE BUILDING:

• The main movement/circulation through the building is through the stairs and open spaces in each rooms

NATURAL LIGHTING:

• Light enters the first floor level through the gaps of the walls, allowing large amounts of light to enter the rooms.
• Light that enters the ground floor is through the gaps on the first floor level.
• Courtyards are open, hence light is already exposed in these areas
• The stairs (the walkway) are exposed to the light, as there is no roof at these walkways
• Glazing of light also enters the private spaces of this building
