Commercial buildings right opposite the site Site Analysis: The site is on King St in Newtown. It is a very busy street with lots of commercial complexes around. Public buildings such as banks, cinema and ferneries are noticed. There is also a red brick church directly opposite the street. Much of the character of this area is provided to it by heavy masonry clad buildings and some with polychromic facades.
The site has a rear entry which opens into a small peaceful park.
This is infact a densely populated area where peaople are always on the move. This is why the site was chosen, because if a gallery was built in this precinct, it would get maximum publicity. Also it would be able to blend in with the busy surroundings.
Dimensions were taken as approximately 10m x 80m, which makes is a very narrow and long piece of land. The height of adjacent buildings would be a maximum of 9m and the site is sandwiched between 2 of these buildings.
