One of the first activities I undertook for Project Two was a couple of site visits. Having never been to Paddington before, these were most beneficial as I had formed a completely wrong idea about the area. By photographing the surrounding streetscapes and context, the unique identity of Paddington showed itself to me. It is this unique context that my architectural entity treats with respect and sensitvity by incorporating some of the design elements inherent to the Queenslander typology, as well maintaining some key aspects of Paddington Central ie. the iconic entry roofs to the centre. Also, the atrium spaces (being the most effective in the centre) have been maintained and more have been added in my design outcome in order to capitalise on these effective gathering spaces.
