SUBURBAN RENEWAL
OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO DESIGN AN ARCHITECTURAL SPACE THAT SPECIFICALLY MEETS THE NEEDS OF YOUNG FAMILIES WITHIN THE EXISTING SUBURB. THIS ENTAILS CREATING A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY AND LEARN, WHILE OFFERING ADULTS A COMFORTABLE PLACE TO RELAX, UNWIND, AND INDULGE IN DELICIOUS FOOD AND DRINKS. ADDITIONALLY, WE AIM TO INCLUDE A FENCED GREEN SPACE WHERE FAMILIES CAN BRING THEIR PETS TO RUN FREELY.
THE CENTERPIECE OF THIS PROJECT WILL BE A CAPTIVATING PLAY MAZE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE AN EXCITING AND CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE FOR CHILDREN. WE PLAN TO REPURPOSE THE EXISTING WAREHOUSE MATERIALS, USING THEM AS WALLS FOR THE MAZE DURING THE DECONSTRUCTION PROCESS.
MOREOVER, WE WILL INCORPORATE A PET-FRIENDLY GREEN SPACE THAT CATERS TO BOTH FURRY FRIENDS AND THEIR OWNERS. THIS SPACE WILL FEATURE AMPLE SEATING AREAS, WATER FOUNTAINS, AND SHADE STRUCTURES, ENSURING THE COMFORT AND HAPPINESS OF ALL VISITORS. IT WILL ALSO SERVE AS A THOROUGHFARE, CONNECTING THE RESIDENTIAL AREA TO THE SOUTH AND ST VINCENT’S ROAD TO THE WEST.
TO CREATE A WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE FOR ADULTS, BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SEATING WILL BE PROVIDED, SURROUNDED BY LUSH GREENERY AND LANDSCAPING. THIS WILL ENABLE GUESTS TO ENJOY THE SPACE REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
TO PROMOTE INCLUSIVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY, OUR DESIGN WILL PRIORITIZE FEATURES SUCH AS SOLAR PANELS, RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEMS, AND THE USE OF RECYCLED MATERIALS. FURTHERMORE, WE WILL ENSURE WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY AND FOSTER AN INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
OVERALL, OUR AIM IS TO DEVELOP AN EXCITING, SAFE, AND INVITING COMMUNITY PRECINCT THAT CATERS TO THE NEEDS AND DESIRES OF YOUNG FAMILIES, THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEIR PETS. THIS PROJECT WILL ENHANCE THE EXISTING SUBURB AND OFFER A UNIQUE AND ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE FOR ALL WHO VISIT.
