Statement of Intent

I have aimed to intrinsically connect the community with the surrounding landscape by constructing nature within the urban fabric.

Playing on the idea of context being the driving force behind architecture, i have developed the relationship that exists between topology and morphology.

After identifying the various separate communal elements of Coogee (tennis/cafe), the new landscape interface breaks through site boundaries to engage the building with the community.

The building is transformed into a passage, attempting to shorten the distance between communal elements. The roof structure compliments the sense of movement by reaching out to the surrounding hill side echoing the ridgeline.
