Building Integrity - Details

This detail cuts through a residential unit. The balconies are approximately 2.4 metres wide. Full height perforated sliding screens allow for privacy and protection from sunlight. The corridors are lined with a trellis and planter system to obscure views from nearby buildings but to allow for the option of cross ventilation.

 

This detail is through the 'High Street'/ 'Market' archetype. The circulation is intentionally wide to allow for shopkeepers to bring their products out on the corridors for greater interaction with pedestrians. Removing formal barriers of the shop tenancy and dedicated corridors accomodates for spontaneous shopping rather than having to enter into a tenancy. As a result of the wider corridors, tenancies have less space, but have full faced bi-folding door ways to completely open up their shops.
