All of the following were hand-drawn onto printed pre-labelled sheets then mounted onto foamboard for presentation, and scanned in.

The proposal is simple. Three elements. All individual in atmosphere and character with key moments of transition between them. Landscaping aids the circulation through the building complex.

1 The anchoring wall.

Sympathetic to the surroundings in height and materiality. This area of the building is very functional and is a warm and inviting series of spaces: academic offices, practice rooms, one-on-one teaching rooms, large seminar rooms, as well as the main vertical circulation.

2 The auditorium.

This space provides ample seating and a large, raised platform-stage to aid acoustics.

The roof performs holistically as both the roof structure and acoustic panels to break up the sound waves and prevent unwanted echoing.

3 Landscaping.

The landscape features terraces of grass as well as a hard standing area for outdoor performances, and outdoor seating area associated to the foyer. The landscaping provides two main routes into/out of the foyer entrance. Firstly, a shortcut to the foyer space via two stairs and a short ramp. Secondly, a longer route all via ramps to provide disabled access as well as access for bikes.
