Residential design, Warehouse conversion (Concept models)

BRIEF

You are to design a warehouse apartment for a selected client (Location: Fenwicks Stone Building. 2-8 Weston St, Balmain, NSW 2041). You are to: 
  • -Identify which client you will select. (I chose "Fashion agent")
  • -Analyse the site context.
  • -Base your design brief upon meeting the perceived needs, desires and lifestyle requirements of your client. 
  • -Develop conceptual ideas appropriate to your selected client. 
  • -Keep the facade, window and door location.  The internal columns can be ere moved if adequate structural support is provide. 
  • -The stair location can be changed.
  • -Be innovative in your conceptual approach and spatial ideas. 
MY CLIENT IMAGE FROM THE BRIEF:
  • The site is located at 2-8 Weston Street, Balmain East, NSW. 
  • The warehouse conversion into a residential house for Mercedes Beale. 
  • My client Mercedes Beale is an internationally respected fashion agent who travels the globe promoting emerging Australian designers.  
  • She frequently spends months away from Sydney.  Client’s time in Sydney is generally time off.  
  • She requires space for pilates, yoga, and meditation and has developed an interest in the teachings of Buddhism.  
  • The client also requires a small office area and storage space for samples.
