The Pacific Arts Gallery is made of a series of cascading spaces. The flow and movement inbetween these rooms create positive and negative spaces, voids and corridors. These spaces have been designed for different experiences and movements through. The spaces ascend up to a glass box, that looks back down onto the gallery. The returning pathway continues through the spaces and circles down to the ground floor. Ascendance to higher grounds brings closeness to the trusses and structural elements of the hall.
SES Building Community Center
SES Buidling is a community centre used as a training area for State Emergency Services. This building is a simple shed structure that is characterized by it’s external cladding and flowing spaces. Physical Model : Powderprint Digital Modelling : Rhino Render : Kerkythea

Sustainable Architecture: Waverton Station N
Waverton Residence is a mixed use complex that provides 19 apartments, 2, studios, 3 commercial spaces and a childcare center in close proximity to Waverton train station; hense activating its neighboring urban context. All apartments have North facing bedrooms and waterfront views to the South. The ‘L’ Shape sections eliminate corridor space on two out of three floors and allow for a flexible double height living room or an extra bedroom.

The second component is the ribbon facade at first floor level. The facade is intended to be clad in local sandstone and unite the building, wrapping from the highway around and up Vaughan Avenue. The fenestration of this element has been devised as an overlay between the view corridors and the regular rhythm of a sound wave. The resultant ratio of solid to void provides a balance between the solid – that projects the beauty of the material, and the void – which allows views to the water and park.
Studio – The black box studio is designed to utilise a retractable seating system. The space can cater for up to 208 seats in a number of configurations. The studio is located to share both the front of house and back-of-house facilities. The studio has four-sided access with a generous congregation and storage area at the rear.
The Regional Performing Arts Centre and Conservatorium falls within the Gosford waterfront site which forms part of the “Our City Our Destiny” Masterplan. The centre is open on ground level with a sandstone strip that wraps around the building, highlighting the glowing theater.
URBAN DESIGN Key Urban Design Strategies
Firstly, major consideration is given to retaining the integrity of the War Memorial Park. Given its cultural and community significance, it was important the design retained select views from the Memorial towards Gosford City Park and The Broad Water. The provision of a stepped, landscaped amphitheatre space, facing back to the cenotaph, creates a sense of enclosure and respect for the monument; while at the same time providing a well-defined space for the ceremonies that take place in the park. The second principle is the creation (or re-creation) of a public stair as a link between the War Memorial Park and Vaughan Avenue. Lastly, the entry points to the Theatre foyer are set back from Vaughan Avenue to create a wide public plaza that will be strategically located to take advantage of the future closure of this street and the realignment of Baker Street.

The design aims to accentuate the corner, ensure high visibility of the site from the Central Coast Highway, and, to appreciate the site as a waterfront location. The main entrance to the Theatre is located away from the highway via a shared public space, engaging pedestrians. This design guarantees a strong visual presence along the highway providing a new iconic landmark for Gosford City.

The form of the building is a strong singular gesture along the facade that provides an iconic landmark for Gosford City. The building can be described as having three main elements.
The first is the transparent base: the glazing to the foyer and the public spaces at ground level. This level of transparency will project the vibrant activity of the theatre to the passersby. Particularly at night, the glazed base will ensure that the ‘buzz’ of the theatre will be visible to both pedestrians walking past to the stadium, for instance, as well as passengers in the many vehicles that drive past this site each day and night.
The third element is the volume of the softly illuminated auditorium itself. Projecting through the roof of the foyer, this becomes a beacon of light at night, instantly recognisable with the precinct and assisting in making the building a local landmark. In addition, the illumination will provide a level of lighting to the park at the upper level, improving safety and security at night. FUNCTION The functionality of the spaces has been considered in a very detailed manner to inform the design stage.
Foyer – This is split over three levels, spaces can double up as performance, exhibition and function areas. Access to bars is provided at the ground and first floor levels, with the cafe occupying part of the ground floor space.
Front of House – Utilising a compact design that ensures efficiency, the front of house the box/ cloak facilities are located with the administration office. The public amenities are located under the auditorium to again maximise the available space. Auditorium – Hosting 1000 seats in a “shoe box” configuration, split between the stalls and the dress circle, the auditorium is designed as a multipurpose venue with a focus on musical performances. The stage has wings which are well connected to an upper level of catwalks and technical spaces.
Back of House – The facilities have been designed to be on one level to facilitate easy access and negate the need for a second lift. The circulation is generous and a direct path from the loading dock is provided to the stage and studio via the appropriate sound and light locks.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Acoustics There are two separate spaces which require great acoustics that do not compete with one another. The first one is the audience area and the second is the stage area. These issues are addressed by the use of reflectors to contribute to the sense of clarity, intimacy and loudness. The volume of the auditorium is designed to cater for musical performance while at the same time allowing it to function as a true multipurpose venue. The proposed concept has also considered external noise conditions associated with traffic on the Central Coast Highway and external plant areas. Civil / Structural Screw pile technology has been investigated and found to be an appropriate economical footing system, with the major advantages of eliminating the need for removal of fill material, minimising noise of installation and avoiding problems associated with water-charged ground. The site of the Gosford Regional Performing Arts Centre appears to straddle a spur of higher-level rock, which will again suit the proposed system as the length of the screw piles can readily be altered without cost premium. Precast wall systems have been investigated to address both structural and acoustic concerns. Mechanical It is proposed to utilise a displacement type air-conditioning system for the auditorium and “blackbox” studio. Studies have demonstrated that displacement ventilation saves energy as compared to standard mixing ventilation. Further benefits to this project as a result of utilising displacement ventilation will be a reduction in heavy plant/mechanical ductwork at high level. This reduction in weight will assist in the goal of incorporating a lightweight roof structure.
