- The Council -

One of the newest additions to Grays Architecture is the new Council building built in preparation for Thurrock becoming a London borough. With this fact many Londoners already live in the area and use the train station to commute and when they come they would like a green space like Grays beach to relax. Through the redevelopment of Grays Beach Park it will allow more people to enjoy the space. The building has a modern look to it with large windows looking into the build which may suggest the council is open as well as see through as they are not hiding anything, in this way the architecture is used to portray this message.

The building itself is made of brick, in a light brown , beige colour which has a lot of warmth to it. This also juxtaposes to the angles and modern look of the building , similar to the college where they continue with the modern materials like metal sheets, here natural brick is used which warms up the space and has more of a homely and welcoming vibe. To research this space I drew its plan view as well as elevations and perspectives which shows its structure and shape. The building is elevated with offices at the top as the higher up you go there more importance there is .
