Re desiged block

Original block 

Legibility

Progression of Legibility

 

The lack of detail in the original masterplan was perhaps one of the reasons for this absence of legibility however the feeling was that the large block structure offered little impression of where one might be within the block.

 

As one can see in the original corner there is little to distinguish itself from the rest of the building.

 

                      Chamfered Edge 

 

 

 

This edge not only provides pedestrians with more space when walking around the block but activity engages then to explore further around

 

                   Raised Apartments

 

 

 

The raised section of apartments are the highest area on the block reaching a further 2m on the original design. The promotes the corner block as a central area and can be seen from many areas of the block, making the area more legible.
