For this project I propose to adapt the plans of a building (which is yet to be erected) from a restautant and bar to a rehabilitiation centre which caters for the needs of overstressed professionals, families in crisis and those with potential addictions such as drugs and alcoholism before miss use.
The original plans to erect a restaurant bar were never submitted for planning permission. This resulted in the development never going ahead; despite existing planning permission awarded on 18th March 1998, for a bar, indoor childrens play area, restaurant and function room with living accommodation and the possibility of alternative uses subject to planning permission.
Unfortunatly I was unable to obtain the actual plans in hard copy due to copyright laws, I therefore had to personally view the plans and take some rough drawings and record measurements in order to draw accurate plans up in AutoCAD. From the original plans I intend to adapt the building in order to accommodate and cater for the needs of the clients, staff and equipment needed for the Rehabilitation Centre.
The site in question is owned by King Sturge, Newcastle Upon Tyne. It has beautiful beach and sea views from which, on a clear day Hartlepool headland and Redcar can be seen. It is in an ideal location, just a ten minute drive from town and local amenities but remote enough to have a tranquil relaxing environment. Ideal for clients who want to escape from everyday life. To obtain further information on the land I will be writing to King Sturge requesting further details.
The idea to produce a scale model to represent the exterior of the building will demonstrate how the building will appear to be a normal looking piece of architecture to passers by, but behind the doors will mask the mental state of the clientelle and hide the mysterious interior from the rest of the world. It will show how the interior of the building differs greatly to the exterior. The immediate landscape will also be demonstrated in a 3D form.
I propose to produce a full design package including a detailed research portfolio and thorough sketch development plan to show how I intend to redevelop this project from a typical wine lodge and restaurant to a relaxing, theraputic environment to help clients to recover and destress.
