Project 3 - Concept

The concept for the building is using the three different facades to blend into Newtown in a variety of ways :

The first facade blurs with its surroundings : flat, continuous facades along the side of King St


An opening is cut through the site to allow the people of Newtown to enjoy the gallery even without entering it

Longer red light at the Erskineville Rd also gives car drivers view inside the gallery


Another opening at the third facade to allow pedestrian access. In addition, the two walls between the opening could also work as the artists' workspace
