Pathway towards refurbished square house from gallery

The curvilinear circulation of movement promoted through this architecture evokes a sense of fluidity and motion when one ascends the staircase, through layers of the architecture. The form is organic, yet structural, as classical architectural features are deconstructed and reconstructed to create a modern, yet timeless structure.

Bridge towards Tyree from the Squarehouse

Traditional, gothic style architecture has been deconstructed and repurposed into a more modern structural adaptation. 


gallery space

Interior of refurbished squarehouse

Individual rooms open onto a large communual space. These rooms serve multi functional purposes as meeting rooms, offices, study spaces and studios as they adapt to the needs of the students at different times of the day.

Multi functional Passageway with moving elements

The architectural theory of adaptative and multi functional spaces continues into the passageways of the bridge. When activated, a sliding wall divides the space off from the adjoining building and seating elevates from the floor. This transforms the passageway into an amphitheatre. The seating elevation activates independently from the sliding wall so the space can be additionally utilised as a meeting room when only the sliding wall is active.
