SITE MASSING DIAGRAMS
SITE PLAN
CREATIVE WORKSPACE
This project deals with an incredibly sensitive site: the conversion of a disused graveyard into creative workspaces and a community park.
The diagrams to the right show the thinking behind the massing
of the spaces on site. The design responds to the language of retaining walls present in the area as a result of its hillside location.

A key driver of the design was the reuse of a timber frame from another building (soon to be deconstructed) with as few alterations as possible. This determined the general size and shape of the main studio building.
I worked independetly on this project at stage 3 following a pre- application, and I redeveloped the design in response to the feedback from the council. I met with a landscape architect and structural engineer in the lead up to producing a design and access statement.
