SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE’S FICTIONAL STORIES OF THE DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES, ARE DEFINED BY THEIR SPECIFIC PORTRAYAL OF MYSTERY. WHAT WOULD SEEM CONFLICTING TO MANY WAS THAT DOYLE PRACTICED IN THE FIELD OF MEDICINE WHILE OPENLY STATING HIS BELIEF IN THE FANTASTIC. THE CHARACTERIZATION OF SHERLOCK HOLMES SIMILARLY REFLECTS THIS JUXTAPOSITION BETWEEN REALITY AND FICTITIOUS. THE PHENOMENON THAT REDEFINES MYSTERY IN THIS WAY BECOMES HOLMES’ QUINTESSENTIAL PROCESS OF DETECTIVE INVESTIGATION.

SET IN THE CONTEXT OF LATE 19TH CENTURY LONDON, HOLMES’ METHOD OF ASTUTE LOGICAL REASONING AND FORENSIC SCIENCE IN SOLVING CRIME IS PERCEIVED AS SUPERNATURAL. CONSEQUENTLY HOLMES IS MARGINALIZED WITHIN SOCIETY, OUTCAST FOR HIS SUPREME INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY OF SUCH NOT SEEN BEFORE, HIS ART OF OBSERVATION AND DEDUCTION BECOME THE MYSTERY.

THE COMPLETE AND IMMEDIATE DELINEATION BETWEEN FORM AND FUNCTION BECOMES THE JOURNEY OF COMPREHENSION USERS EXPERIENCE AND UNDERSTAND AS THEY READ THE BUILDING FROM THE EXTERIOR CONTINUING IN. THE DESIGN ASKS THE PASSERBY TO “PIECE TOGETHER” THE JUXTAPOSITION OF CONTEXT WITH PROGRAM AND THE ECLECTIC TRADITIONALISM OF 19TH CENTURY WORLD ARCHITECTURE AND MELBOURNE’S EXISTING HISTORY WITH MODERN THEOLOGY AND MATERIALS. INSPIRING OBSERVATION AND DEDUCTION, THE BUILDING OFFERS NOTIONS OF RATIONAL THOUGHT IN ORDER TO UNCOVER THE MYSTERY OF FUNCTION.
