Development Model

By experimenting with shapes and looking at a range of historical and contemporary architecture I created a model which combines these ideas and creates the type of juxtaposition and contrast with the classical building being made from polished concrete giving it a modern look and its raised upon this parallelogram which holds this structure flowing next to it with triangular windows which juxtapose its natural curves.

The structure is placed next to a road leading into a neighbourhood in the south of Grays with the building’s left elevation facing the homes which have the multifunctional space of the art gallery at the bottom flowing into a vintage clothing and record store at the top. The building’s front elevation faces the park where u have the classical café with a modern contemporary twist. With a viewing platform surrounding the 3 sides of the building, you can look down the park on the local stage for local performers.
