I learn from my previous assignment about shifting of horizontal spaces and approach it into this design. The two users are art collector and gardener. The shifts are created by connecting different level with ramps and some stairs. The ramps provide easy access as well as gradually change in spaces for so the users are easy to adapt. There is also functional ramp (refer to photo “seats on ramp”).
I also introduce interlocking between spaces so while the building surface materials also give you some clue about it, (art collector: white concrete, gardener: wood). The openings focus on the west and north faces which stay away from adjacent buildings. The present of long window on the ceiling and vertical stripes are essential to provide other source of sunlight while maintaining privacy at the same time.
The building leans at its adjacent building on the south to provide a wider angle for sunlight to get in, with the overhead office by Victoria Street, they art as an enclosure of protection of the public space.
