Programme
Functional requirements of the gallery were grouped and laid out accordingly to circulation - forming a sequence of 'block' like servicing zones and 'leftover' circulation space (used to guide people around the building and for the display of works). This became the basis for the concept of volumes in space.
The private appartment is positioned towards the front of the gallery, allowing for the owner to have direct access to the services provided by King St - a place inccuring social activity and cultural diversity. In the same sense, the storage facility is located at the rear of the gallery allowing for direct access from the public carpark for transportation docking artworks.
The entrance courtyard can be used for the display of public art, and also for social events and workshops, such as school holiday art programs. As an extension of this space, the reception area is integrated with an open workshop area, allowing for meandering visitors to view the process of illustration/sculpting (by freelance artists).
Volumes in space
The idea of the lightness of masses was developed from the weightless nature of Tran's and Jinks' works. Uniform blocks were then derived from a grid, each configures to define the spatial context in which they dwell. These volumes do not touch the structurally expresed ceiling, and protrude beneath a cantilevered floorslab, isolating themselves from the architectural to accentuate their lightness.
