ITERATION 3

This iteration uses two linear programs protruding into the landscape separated by a colourful landscaped area leading out towards the canal. The proposal is on stilts above the landscape which creates an exciting play environment for the children who can run underneath and around the building. Only one side is terraced downwards entering a large open gallery space with views across the canal. Other smaller spaces section up the linear program with each space being designed for a specific function e.g arts and crafts, singing etc. Some of these spaces will turn into different activities in the evening for example, antenatal classes, yoga etc.

VISTAS

Views out across the canal and landscaping to connect to the outside as well as to bring plenty of light into the building.
