I was drawn to this large warehouse like space as I think it is quite simplistically beautiful, allowing for the artworks that could be exhibited in this space to be the main focus. It is also a very flexible space allowing for different exhibitions, and would not restrict what types of artworks are able to be exhibited.
The way the skylight is placed on an angle is an intriguing solution to the issue of direct sunlight being damaging to artworks. It allows natural light into the space, but diffuses it by entering at an angle.
The length of these stairs captivate me and as Site One is such a long, narrow site, I think having the main circulation of the building off to one side is suitable and reflective of the very nature of the site.
I like the concept of guiding visitors through the gallery through a 'path' reflected in the different treatment of floors. This would guide visitors through the space with a sense of going on a journey but not be restrictive so that it was possible for the viewer to circulate the space in any way they wanted.
I think that a courtyard filled with succulents and cacti would be more suitable for a sculptural courtyard as not only are these types of vegetation sculptural in their own right but as they are relatively low lying they would provide a backdrop that was not too distracting.
