Sketching Up

Playing around with massing in Sketchup.

Option A - Bridging the canal with a linear atrium


Option B - Two boxes, creating an atrium where they intersect


Option C - Creating a landing area adjacent to the cafe, using ramps for access



Option D - Using the gatehouse as an atrium with an addtional box of accomodation
bridging the canal



This option is the one to take forward because it has the best access, and has an interesting use of the existing structures on site, creating a differentiation between new and old
