These two sections show how the masterplan design develops in terms of height: Maintaining a relatively stable roofline despite the change in topography and picking up on the heights of existing buildings both on the edges and the centre of the site.

This is a figure ground plan of our proposed urban design. With the decision to keep the car-park structure for adaptive re-use, we developed both urban and housing areas as well as public, semi-public and private realms, articulating itself especially from south to north.

Choosing keeping! In our opinion the car-park should be kept as a structure for adaptive re-use. As of now, we’d argue that it is neither ugly nor pretty, but very much unfinished. Furthermore we think that it has in fact contextual value as it preserved the course of Rawson Road and needs to be kept for environmental reasons. As Lacaton & Vassal put it: “Never demolish!”
