PROJECT THREE - ART GALLERY/SHOP/HOUSE

AIM
Design a dealer's art gallery that specializes in contemporary and experimental art. The dealer chooses to work and live in one place; therefore, part of the gallery is also the dealer's house. The main interior spaces, and the exterior courtyard at the back of the site, are to serve as areas for displaying and experiencing works of art. Service spaces are also required for administrative, storage and workshop purposes. A small apartment for the gallery owner is to be provided.

SITE
Site One, King Street, Newtown, Sydney. What makes the site particularly suitable for the gallery space is its public location, the possibility of forming high interior and exterior spaces for larger paintings, sculptural pieces and installations.

REQUIREMENTS
The depth of the building cannot exceed 30m. A rear lane access is necessary, and the sculptural courtyard should be sunny. A large room capable of displaying paintings, sculptures and relatively large installations is necessary as well as smaller rooms for displaying items such as photographs, watercolours, prints and small sculptures. An office, 10 square metres, workshop, 20 square metres, and stockroom, 20 square metres. A small apartment with bathroom is also necessary along with a function space with kitchen facilities.

SUBMISSION
- site plan showing the art gallery and its relationship with adjacent buildings and the street, 1:500
- floor plans and sections, 1:100
- one room in plan and section rendered to show the quality of light, 1:50
- sectional architectural model, 1:100
- interior perspective vignettes show the main sequence of spaces
