Concept: Contrasts.
- With the large size and concrete material of the main gallery with the lightness of the smaller gallery towers in the courtyard.
- Sound, Echoey effect achieved in the main gallery which reflects King Street and the more calm and tranquil effect in the main courtyard as the sound from King Street is blocked by the tall walls of the main gallery
- Man-made and Nature, the towers and the contoured courtyard.
Three main sections, - Main Gallery which also includes the office and reception area adjacent to King Street
- Main Courtyard and sculptural garden with smaller gallery rooms in towers
- Residency: blank wall facing main courtyard to segregate private from public and not draw attention away from the courtyard.
King Street facing large window, Light is allowed into the office space through the gallery window, sky lights and King Street facing window
There was a linear corridor which reached from King Street to the park behind. Courtyards broke this "corridor" at intervals so that the sight of the natural area would not be lost due to the length of the site.
Main Gallery
Towers, using frosted material so at night when the lights inside are on it becomes a glowing box, like a lantern which provides lighting for the sculptures in the garden and night time exhibition openings.
