“The object of a creative act is not only enfolded by the eye and the touch, it has to be introjected, identified with one’s own body and existential experience. In deep thought, focused vision is blocked; thoughts travel with an absent-minded gaze. In creative work, the artist is directly engaged with their body and existential experience rather than an external logistic problem. (Pallasmaa, 2000)”

The arrangement of the scheme has been inspired by Kevin Lynch’s Image of the City. Arranging spaces around internal streets that also act as breakout social, dance and work spaces for the integrated studio spaces; with the focus being to encourage interaction between the dancer, the artist and the community. The following characteristics lynch describes as necessary for a successful city and have been used to define areas of the building

Building wraps in section elevation & plan in order to maintain rhythm and flow. Which develops an animated facade and interior that is representative of the activity within.
The exterior elemennts maintaina a rigid facade that reacts to its context. Internal facades represent the creativity and movement that is created by the occupant within, and simultaneously aim to increase these activities.

Facade Design
Using vertical timbers as a solid cladding panel combined with louvering allows the continuity of the facade to flow over glazing and emit a glow across the harbourside whilst providing solar control and the obscuring of views both in and out into studios where desired.

Dance Studios
Creatives Studios
The weaving circulation creates a natural vestibule area within the studios for musicians and dancers to change. The louvred facade obscures the dancers view to the outside whilst allowing daylight in and giving passers by an indirect of the dancers in action, animating the facade with their silhouettes. Showcase studios are placed along the main communal route which are more in the public eye through internal windows, which they have the option to obscure if they desire .
South Light
Designed to encourage collaboration and for maximum flexibility by users. Top floor studios benefit from north facing rooflights and light is brought to through the use of double height spaces and sunken courtyards.
Artisan Retail
These units offer opportunituies to artist to sell directly to customers with integrated workshop space. This also gives them a profitable location
