EXP4.WK14.Final Submission - Model

These are photographed images of my final model for Coogee Community Centre. Various photographs were taken from different angles, view and levels.

The image shown above, depicts the plan of the second floor. The second floor is accessible from the stairs connecting from the ground floor level on Brook St. If you reach the second floor, you are led into foyer space which connects into different rooms and areas, such as large gym hall on the northern side, toilets and gym hall kitchen on the eastern side, staff office areas on the western side and outdoor recreation area on the southern part.

Two images on the above show the ground floor plan view. On the ground floor, there are cafe space with kitchen and toilets on each side of the cafe kitchen. From ground floor, stairs are located into second floor level. The second image shows the relationship between the ground floor level of the community centre and the existing grandstand.

This photograph portrays the third ground floor level, which has two small gym halls, rub down area, change rooms with toilets, flexible workshop and storage areas, and audio-visual space. The second level is mainly used as staff facilities and general purposes, whereas the third level is for sporting and community uses.

Two images above display the overall structure/scheme or design of my community centre, in relations to the existing grandstand on the southern side of the centre.

This is the side view of the first and second level, clearly showing the connection between those two level through staircase. Closed area on the northern part of the second floor in contrast to the open area on the souther part create a dynamic shadow castings inside the building.

Once again, these pictures above show the final design product.

Two above photos display the plan views of the third floor level, which has outdoor spaces on both western and eastern sides. Through the windows, community centre users can enjoy the view of the coogee beach and surroundings while they are at community centre.

For my final design scheme, i have used a large number of windows on the second and third floors, to achieve full view of the surrounding environments such as coogee beach and oval. Also through these windows, a large amount of natural light can be obtained, (less use of artifical lightings in the building) to keep the community centre bright.
