Assignment 3: Newtown Gallery

Assignment 3 involved designing an art gallery and an apartment space on Newtown.
The main design feature of this gallery was the significant gallery area of the lower gallery, upper gallery and the outdoor gallery. By having this, the amount of artwork for presentation would be a significant number, and the continuation of space would mean less disconnection for viewers of art.

The area under the gallery space would be dedicated to the rest of the project requirements are are shown by the plans.

Following are a few selected illustrations and images of the model.

Lower level plan with lower gallery and apartment space. Regarding the personal space, the top rooms from left to right are storage space (with angled door for easy entry and located centrally for extra security, the wall between it and the lower gallery also opens to allow for easy gallery entry for artwork). On its right is the kitchen which has a window to the back. Below these are the office, workspace and then bedroom with en-suite bathroom, both of which have windows.
