Final Model Development

The centre will be saturated in greenery with hanging vine leaves planted pats and featured plants

Featuring outdoor natural grass areas throughout the centre

I plan on using a variety of woods and organic materials to give a natural rustic feel

There will be plenty of windows and natural light sources throughout the building

Sheltered outdoor and indoor seating

I filled the sketchup with several plants bushes flowers and vine leaves surrounding the building, tying the building into the surrounding nature

This is the final sketchup model of my design. The exterior of my model consists of two types of woods, I had wooden slabs surrounding the two bottom floors and thin wooden panelling on the top floor to help break up the design. The decision to use wood as my primary building material was made for the purpose of following the organic theme as I felt it best tied in with the design and leaf inspired concept of the building. I also decided to add in some more modern elements in the design such as a glass staircase and railings, this fit in with the large open window and helped to enhance the appearance of the more natural organic materials. Such as grass rooves and a roof top garden.
