Project 3 - Gallery - Site Analysis


The site I chosen is site 3. The site is situated at Newtown and the site has a frontage that faces the main road that connects Newtown to the main CBD area. The site recieves sunlight at the west side. The sunlight can only be manipulated through the side of the building or the roof of the design as the facade doesn't recieve much sunlight. The long span frontage of the site allows me to manipulate the facade to sets of connection between 2 consecutive buildings.


The rear access however is very narrow, hence the rear access cannot be used as one part of the main circulation. It could only be used as processive routes for items delivery.


The adjacent buildings has a obvious height difference where one of it is around 7.5m high and another of 10m height. This allows me to use the height difference efficiently while adding a new level and also manipulating maximum sunlight for the building. The main road shows the importance of a interesting facade to attract consumers into the building.
