Facility Design
The brief for the facility called for a multi-function space; exhibition foyer; kitchen facilities; local offices for NetWaste and amenities in addition to a well considered landscape setting. Key elements such as the 3 distinct blocks of accommodation, “scissor” roof arrangement, water tank tower and solar panels are all apparent. Aerial View of the digital model developed to illustrate concepts to client and stakeholders. Concepts such as classic solar passive design and “long life/loose fit” were employed to enable future extension of the facility. This photograph was taken in winter as can be seen from the lack of foliage on the mature trees beyond.
