Defining the Enclosed Street Space
Form and Roof Structure
Correlated Steel Roof Sheeting
Insulation
MDF Board
Glulam or Timber Beam
Timber Battons
This concept was similar to the way in which street lamps and various signage defines the verticality of a street space and linked to my idea of recreating King Streets' street furniture.
I chose to construct the project from varying sizes of confident beams, being visible both inside and externally, exploring more intricate and interesting ways of using this structure
The illustrated precedents show how framed structures work best when repeated and various ways in which timber/glulam beams could be fastened.
Exposing Frame for Definition
Inspired by Endo Shuhei, the glulam beams were to be topped in Corrugated Steel roofing sheets, a cheap, simple yet interesting material
Corregated Steel 'Wrapping'
Cuts, Openings and their impact on Light and Solar Gain
Initially inspired by an existing site shelter I wished to create a roof form that defined the external space beneath

Incorporating reformed Geometry
Glazed curtain walls were positioned to be north facing, whilst the shop front glazing was protected by the main buildings shade.
Rooms with the most activity had access to daylight whilst darker spaces houses toilets and services.
