Small atrium provides sunlight to the centre of this building, which is necessary given its placement in the centre of the site.
Key views of the central courtyard should be created. This will aid the sense of community that I am aiming to create.
Views of the cinema and Stretford Public Hall will anchor my building to its context.
Public circulation through the site.
Pathways will guide members of the public across the site. Back and front entrances will allow for easy access from all directions.
Resident circulation through the site.
Again, use of pathways to guide residents from their apartments to the café for work. Central courtyard space aids this, making it easy to travel around the site quickly.
Consider how café massing could be changed to make the space better suited for its function.
