Site Analysis - My Parcel Selection

The current landscaping of the site seems to be quite rigid and dull in my opinion, in order to blend comfortably with my curved structure we would need to soften the curves of the flowerbeds and try to bring the trees as close to the structure to make the building a lot less imposing.

Attempts to recreate the existing areas and pathways of access shows the way the horizontal and vertical pathways maintain a grid and meeting an central point

Here we see how I developed and followed that part of the site, divided the masses in two with the main common pathway in the middle between the masses, I then slowly morphed the building highlighting where i wanted the main entrance marked in blue because it was a common meeting point connecting 5 pathways in front. I then morphed my massing studies into a more circular structure because I felt if I maintained the rectangular forms it would feel far too rigid and similar to the surrounding buildings, something which i’m trying to stay away from.
