Week 2 - Architectural Sketch Design

Following on from last week, the group continued to develop the project brief, BIM manual and the draft design of the artist's village.

Our project brief lists that the artists village have a variety of facilities within it to cater for residents as well as visitors/users of the spaces.

Below are some rough sketch ideas for the planning and layout of both levels

Ground Level Sketch Design.

The ground level will house the following spaces:

Gallery/Exhibition Spaces
Cafe
Centre Courtyard
Office Space
Retail Shops
Public Workshop
Amenities
Loading Dock (back of workshop)
Storage

1st Level Sketch Plan

The 1st level will have several open areas that look down to the ground level courtyard and exhibition areas (marked with a red cross). Spaces on this level will be:

Gallery/Function Space
Studios
Private workshop
Prototyping Room
Kitchen/Social space for Residents
Lounge Area
Amenities

A 3rd story will be added soon with residents accommodation and showers/baths etc later this week/next week when we have had some questions answered in regards to the current roof and how we can modify it.
