SKETCHBOOK

41 Goulburn St., Sydney

A fashion designer's showroom and accommodation situates in China Town. An extremely narrow site with the dimension of 3.5m x 12m and is sandwiched by a youth hostel and a Chinese restaurant.
The entire design is driven by the protocol of "sound". It is achieved by the changing experiences of light, volume and materials in the building. The building acts as a musical tower and music will be played in different times of the day in order to enhance the atmosphere of the surrounding. Traditional Chinese window frame is used as a reference to the façade design. Personally I am not very satisfy with the design. But well, sometimes you will have a good time, and unfortunately sometimes, you still have to accept a hard time. : )
