Site Analysis

sophia kim

Group site

Site chosen is located in the heart of the CBD, north of Cathedral Square. The buildings around the site are mostly commercial which includes o ces and some restaurants. There are also carparks on both sides of the road and river. The Avon river ows along the site, opening up opportunities to incorporate water into our designs.

Group site arrangement

Taking the areas left behind from demolished buildings (due to the earthquake) into consideration, as a group weve selected three areas for developing our projects. 1) Residential (Sophia Kim) 2) Market (Natalee Tan) 3) Hybrid building (Daniel Yang) A group decision was made to alter the vehicle routes of Cambridge Terrace and Oxford Terrace into an all pedestrian route.
