Coogee Community Centre Design Studio 4 2008 - Concept Model #1

My first concept model for the proposed Community Centre.
The plan reveals the negative space that runs through the building.
I have shown existing landscaping to the north but this, as well as existing seating, will be reconsidered

There is a monumental, possibly stonework or sandstone, facade to Brook Street - cut away to the north to reveal the inside of the building. This would be a suitable location for the cafe as it connects out to the intersection of Brook Street, tennis centre and beyond.

To the east a two storey transparent glass/steel/timber facade is revealed, angled in towards the central corridor of the building.
Some parts of the building could be double storey, whilst others could be double height.

The transparency along the corridor is to increase visual connection between the different users of the centre. It also creates centralised entry & circulation in and out of the centre and oval.


The Brook Street facade wraps around to the south - this facade would have entry to the changerooms and possibly street access to the garage.
