This depicts a 3D representation of the progress made for the project. The diagram above shows how the building has been split between public and private sectors as a sustainability strategy. The angular form promotes light to filter to lower levels of the development, as well as framing views of the surrounding context the form draws attention to the architecture as it is a juxtaposition between its linear surroundings. Mass formation demonstrates the sites thresholds, whilst the courtyard promotes greater accessability to the site through the use of two laneways off George street and defines the separation between the public sector and residential sector.
The public sector consists of three levels, with the roof space being considered for rooftop garden space that will be linked with the Myer center to split maintance costs or maintaining the space whilst ensuring a constant use by the public. The rooftop garden has clear views of the Brisbane river which is an asset to the site.
Good to see plans and the 3-d's. Some initial comments; Beware overhanging Elizabeth Street; The lower 3 storeys of residential will be all about the courtyard - how do public / private integrate or separate? Can't quite see how you actually enter the loft apartment. The key aspect for residential upper levels is the river as you note but perhaps more could be made of this - not much to look at towards Myer Centre. How do you get up to the Myer Centre roof?
