located at Reid Ave, Woolloomooloo.
the site is on a sloop and 3m retaining wall is found.
preschool is on the south of the site. theres a pub in the front. others are mainly residential two-stories dwelling. 
at the back of the site, sandstone natural wall landscape, timber building on top.the urban landscape gave me the original concept of my map maker studio, which is setting the height of the stdio equal to the boundary wall of the garden behind. to keep the beautiful slope of the area.
Design Process
made a site model in sketchup to understand the steepness of reid ave and the level difference between the RL.0 on the plan.
also, i made a 1:500 model to have a full view on the site and try to get the ratio of its space.
another principal of this building will be creating a pathway for residents to have a easy access to zoneD, which is suggested to be a public reserve with playground facilities for little kids.
Therefore, 3 different floor levels are designed under a single roof.
Reading and working space is separated by a external area, the balcony, where is in the middle of the building, can enjoy the view of the north side of those buildings' backyards.
Reading area has the highest floor height which is 5.1 m and full walled bookshelves is designed with the lower shelves are larger for storing oversized books.
Passing through a inner green area, which function as a skylight, the map maker will get to the balcony and then to her working area.
Working area is 3m height which is prefect for a design studio. pain wall are found on both side and a U shaped able on the south west corner beside glazing. there will be reflective light shelves installation on those window to prevent direct sunlight, but at the same time, providing suitable light quality to the studio.
Pin wall are designed at the back for her to pin up any notice and maybe for mind map, little kitchen is beside it.
partition of the space is inspired by brick country house's flow of space, all area are linked to each other while they are clearly separated.
free standing wall are constructed to supported the building floating on the ground.
