Site inspiration/

Leaf proportions

Rough bark texture

Subtle curve of leaves

Two-tone colouring

Linear rhythm

Tree-density studies/ Mapping the alternating densities of the trees along Winthrop Avenue, several linear patterns were established

Elevations/ 1/500 Inspired by the tree density studies of site, the facade captures the essence of movement in its static form

Passive-design strategies/

Facade appears open from the NE

Street Level Perspective/ The building appears to change colour as you move around it, the variations between the angled facade elements create a ‘flickering’ effect

Facade appears closed from the NW

Facade is open towards the cooling SW breezes


Modular System/ Mitchell Cook/ Group 5/ The University of Western Australia Integrated Design Studio 02_2013

Modular System Construction Process/ Standard sheet-size 2700mm x 600mm

One side of the panel is oxidised with an ammonia based solution

The panels are then drilled and cut. Ballustrading elements are 100mm x 2400mm, so 6 can made from each standard sheet; minimsing wastage

The facade panels are rolled into shape

Street Level Perspective/ The facade is comprised of modules that can be easily pre-fabricated, delivered by truck and lifted into position

Interior/ Mitchell Cook/ Group 5/ The University of Western Australia Integrated Design Studio 02_2013

Light Studies/ The variations within the facade create a ‘dance’ of light and shadow, similar to that created by a row of trees

Top Floor/ The height of the facade and ballustrading is halved, provided safety whilst allowing un-interrupted views of the adjacent Kings Park

Third Floor/ The ‘transparency’ of the facade changes as you move around it, the perpendicular orientation of the ballustrading makes them almost invisible

Ground Floor/ As it requires no ballustrading, the ground floor is opened further to permit free circulation through elements of the facade

Exterior Light Studies/ The static elevation appears to change with the movement of the sun
