WEEK 5: Final Submission

Concepts Behind Design:

Architecture which enhances the experience of the artworks

Sculpture Gallery:
- Meander through entrance into a large space. Space is scaled so that the artwork and the room is the same as a person in a room, where the viewer is immediately at unease. This largeness is emphasised by the repetition of the facade motif internally as the stair handrails.
- Mezzanine as a viewing platform, also contains smaller scale art that appear to be gallery visitors viewing the art below hence visitors are not yet relived of this unease.

Hallway:
- Offers choice with different visual cues

Audio-Visual Room:
- Consealed
- Glimses of light
- On entering, the viewer becomes a part of the work with the light art relfecting on them, yet they can also withdraw and act solely as an observer

Photography Room:
- Leads to the office creating an open relationship between the staff and guests
- Walls positioned so that openings frame photos on walls behind

Courtyard:
- Drop off area
- Glass sculpture gallery with benchs for poeple to sit and view

Stockroom:
- Underground
- Glass reflections from art above, light this space
- Has double entry: outside - so that artworks can be directly dropped off down to space; inside - so that the exclusive buyer can finalise dealings in the office, but also a wet weather entry point.

Workroom:
- On mezzanine level
- Private zone which contains entrance to apartment

Apartment:
- Functions enclosed so that from below the spaces appear mysterious and not interrupted by furniture.
- Bedroom at the back with view onto courtyard, away from bustling King St
