EXP3 - WK11 - Model









These are the images of my community centre design. The building consists of three separate blocks, jointed together. The middle tower is used as cafe, restaurant area and small gym areas with the view of the coogee beach through openings and windows. The two buildings on each side of the middle tower are used as office areas, toilets, change area, large gym areas and recreational areas. The reason why they are lower than the middle tower is to not block the view of the buildings surrounding it.

The entrance to the building is through Brook St. People can access to the building via doors on the ground level and through stairs located inside the building to the second floor.

EXP3 - WK11 - Floor Plans




These are drawings of floor plans of my design of community centre.
The first image shows the site plan with community centre inserted in it. The second image displays the area given to us for this project.

The last image shows the floor plans of community centre. The floor plan of the left building shows the second floor plan, the stairs connecting to the first floor, without doors. The floor plan of the right-hand side building shows the first floor plan, with doors opening.

EXP3 - WK11 - Site plans and Maps




Site plans and maps indicating the elements of the context and themes that have influenced my design. The first image is showing the theme of insertion, which was the main influence on my design of community centre. By inserting new infrastructure, which is community centre, I wanted to establish a new relationship between the existing and new developed context.

The second image is the environmental diagram, showing contours, heritage sites and trees in the ares. The last image is the functional diagram, showing direction of wind, and warm breeze, and people's movement.
