Project 3: King Street Gallery Site Analysis

The culture associated with the Newtown area also deals very much with pedestrian access and walkability focused around King Street venues. Looking at the distribution of the footpaths and pedestrian flow in and around Site 1, the way in which pedestrians regularly use the site as a thoroughfare which connects the rear residential zones with King Street is a unique quality.



Being a particularly long site wedged tightly between commercial properties, it became clear that the treatment of the two storey facades (and awnings), which face King Street and the rear residential lane, would be very important in designing an appropriate gallery. The way in which the rear carpark space is reguarly used as well as overall visibility were important factors to consider.
