PROJECT 3: FINAL SUBMISSION PRESENTATION
MICHAEL ZAVROS COLLECTIVE
PRISTINE, ELEGANT, IMMACULATE
The Art House in Newtown, presents itself confidently as a supremely refined, neutral space for showing art and it's moments of cool elegance and transending can astonish among a vibrant, busy bohemian street life in the Sydney suburb of Newtown.
SITE PLAN
The gallery is subtle and sophisicated rather than sexy.
As a reflection derived from it's artist Michael Zavros, the gallery comprises machine made crisp linear forms and a series of rectralinear volumes, planes and slabs inter-woven by public and private courtyards.
Sharp lines give it that subtle yet modern feel which Newtown screams out for. The gallery is modern art itself and a divining space for its artist to display beauty and grandeur for any occassion.
Visitors entering the tubular-like entry, present themselves past a series of smaller galleries through to the lobby. Here a large artium-like void, give striking glimpses of galleries and circulation areas above, drawing you to a view of underlying beauty.
FLOOR PLANS
Visitors standing on the first floor galleries can look down into the center lobby through a two-storey floor space, with a bridge connecting the two larger gallery spaces together.
The galleries on the first floor, from a brige traversing the space, draw your eyes down through a soaring clear glass white window wall, with vertical thin timber blades, filtering the light through out onto the subtle yet formal courtyards which speak their own language.
Behind the gallery exhibition, another rectalinear volume linked by a bridge from the first floor, houses the artist studio workspace, coupled with a cafe, entertaining space for any exhibitions and functions.

CROSS SECTIONS
CROSS SECTIONAL LIGHT STUDY THROUGH SECTION OF GALLERY 2
The section cut through Galley 2, shows light penetration into the gallery, demonstrating the controlled light within this space. The walls within Gallery 2, to the northern side have a folded form which continues through to the ceiling space as shown in the sections. Light bounces off the different folds, walls and ceilings, directing the light towards displays within the gallery at different times of the day. The void allows light to filter through the upper floor washing the two storey wall.

PROJECT 3: INITIAL CONCEPTS AND SKETCHES
PRELIMINARY FACADE CONCEPTS
PRELIMINARY CONCEPTS
Floor plans showing clearer and more concise journey through the gallery spaces and external courtyards showing flow on from street through an interweaving series of sections brought together.
SCHEME 4 Gallery spaces showing composition of space within the gallery and its positioning on the site. Schematic concepts show clearer definition of gallery space which need refinement through the development process.

SCHEMES 2 AND 3 Further development on the play of the rectalinear volumes overlapping and dissecting each other creating intimate spaces. Series of spaces slowly coming together.
SCHEME 1:
Development of series of spaces within the site looking at light penetration and composition of space within the site.

PROJECT 3: ARTIST
Through further amendments to my design I have chosen another artist to display. I had originally decided on Dan Stafford, an artist from the UK, who's colour works were thought provoking and bright. However as my design on the Art Gallery has progressed, the concept of the gallery is more understated and subtle which suits my new artist, Michael Zavros.
Zavros is an Australian artist who's paintings are of a realist nature. His works highlight the concepts of beauty, in particular an obsession with fashion.
I am fascinated by his obsession with beauty and fashion and the way he has depicted these thoughts through his images. His paintings are transported images of photographs that have been altered.
He is interested in "rather what fashion imagery offers, which is usually a flight of fancy, a perfection of an idea, and highly aestheticised imagery"
