Hill House

Carmody Groarke’s intervention that covers Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House was useful precedent that i referred to throughout the design process. Their design protects the building from the weather, until a resolution for its restoration is devised. Similarly to my project they used the opportunity to provides visitors with a new perspective on the buidling and its architecture via a circualtion route.

My project develops the entire area surrounding the cathedral, creating a master plan ained at enhancing tourist appreciation of the site, and improving the spcaes for visitors. Due the importance of the tourist experience in my design, i have laid out the following pages in an order that walks you through the spaces as a tourist would experience them.

Realisation Site Plan

Contextualising my building through a site plan has been a consistent focus. My Realisation plan came too close to the cathedral, and appeared to smother it, so in following iteration i amended this relationship.
