BUILDING CIRCULATION DEVELOPMENT
Updated floor
plans: Access from Latrobe Terrace to Lower ground level has been increased. Openings
are shown at either corners of the site adjacent to Latrobe Terrace. This is
designed to invite the public in from the Street Level so they can visually
access the activities on the lower ground level. It also creates a new building
circulation pattern and allows for a considerate pedestrian flow. The sloping
ground allows for disabled and pram access as apposed to the use of stairs. The
opening allow for natural light to flow into the building.

design alternative to the potential for online shopping to replace the

sustainable design solution that improves on the existing design that works
with the existing structure and doesn’t replace it

current stores located on the site (The current shop program works well), and aim to not increase store space rental
prices by making drastic structural changes
Incorporate
some ‘common land’ for social interaction and cross-demographic exposure
Support local
businesses; provide a spatial opportunity for many individuals to buy and sell
locally and not from a single chain store (Woolworths)
Relax the
separation of pedestrian and vehicle pathways. Create open space shared zones.

Woolworths with an open market space. This will support the local community and
encourage social interaction that is lost through online shopping.

to interact or be in the presence of others. This allows exposure of different
demographics to each other (eg: Elderly people exposed to young children
playing)

where cars and pedestrians meet”- A Pattern Language
