Residential Building ~ Form

Indicates potential views to Southbank &  the river.

Now that I have worked out what I need and the placement, I have decided to place to place the residential building towards Albert street. The reasoning behind this is I can give the units views towards the river & southbank and on top of this, anything interesting which is built below on the site is all in that one line of sight. At the moment I am thinking about a public park of some sort?


I began doing some simple sketches but I have since gone on to do some actual modelling in CAD, however these are the ideas which developed in my mind about what I could do/should do with the residential building in particular. I started with that box that I initially used to help me navigate the suns movement around the site. From here I decided to include protrusions which would ultimately effect the shadow which is cast onto surrounding buildings and streets. Then  I began twisting the form to allow wind to move freely around and through the building and even interrupting somewhat so that wind tunnels do not occur.

When I showed Davor my current progress with the CAD model and my ideas behind the developed design he understood my concept behind my form and protrusions. I was glad this was the case because it took a ridiculous amount of time to get to this stage. I also used my opportunity with Davor to discuss the full direction of my project in relation to my commercial building and also the shopping centre. I didnt have much to show him in regards to this but I told him my initial ideas just to see if he had a different perspective but basically he just wanted me to go ahead and sort it out because the ideas seemed to be solid enough.
