Intial Design Ideas

Concept #1 - Folie as a Sign


  • Folie designed to interact with predominate site users - exercises and cyclists.

  • Split level, with an area to do additional exercises

  • Place to stop and rest on the top level in the form of a viewing platform with seats and newspapers provided each morning

Concept #2 - Air Raid Shelter


  • Controlling and releasing views - framed views

  • Transition of views with entire view gradually exposed.

  • Solid to light construction - entrapment, concealment, confinement

  • Partially hidden entry point, protection, sense of security

  • Sunlight filtered through tree on western side - giving additional protection

Concept # 3 - Ships Hull



  • Reconnecting the site with its past history as a successful wharf

  • focusing views of the occupants - identifying the Storey Bridge as the focus of the site
