The Site.

So I have just remembered that not once in my posts have I explained which building I am using for my Btech design project... and today seems fitting to show it as we presented our design project on the site analysis today... 

The chosen site for my design project is The Old Tramways Building which is located in Port Elizabeth. Its a site that is currently under development, but that doesn't stop me from designing something that in the end might only work better... The site is centralized to an up and coming area, and is in close proximity to the Donkin, to Bridge Street Brewery, and Stanley Street. However, the reason I chose the building is because of the double volume space... as well as the view onto the river... which at the moment might not look like much...

But here are a few pictures to show the building and why I love it so much...
