The design of a small kiosk, bike workshop and art gallery space is sited in the Sydney suburb of Woolloomooloo. The project becomes an extension of the “urban alleyway” from the harbour to the north, and a culmination of the journey from the CBD street bike route. Hence the site is a significant point of convergence for urban interaction.
The lightweight timber upper floor exhibition space opens to the bustling urban surroundings with a simultaneously discrete program underneath. The sandstone lower floor gallery space, bike workshop and kiosk derives its materiality from the local Sydney landscape, drawing people into the open court to pause and relax throughout the day.
