224 & 226 King St - Circiulina Restaurant & Splash Restaurant.

• Busy end of King St
• Facades on adjacent buildings are highly theatrical in form and colour.
• Great difference in height between the two neighbouring buildings. (Current building is three storeys high).
• Advantageous height potential for light purposes.
• West facing facade
  

This site was chosen due to the following factors:

• The site is situated very close to Newtown Station and within the hub of the urban precinct. There are many restaurants, cafes and retail shops, as well as banks close by.


• The site for the gallery will gain great exposure as it faces the interseciton of King St and Horden St
  
• There is rear access to the site via Wateley Lane.


• Behind the site is a small park with seat benches and and greenary.


• The great height difference between the buildings provide an interesting contrast to the site.
