The final developed plan drawings
My final decision have made my design in a way I think is appropriate as a galley on the King st.

Ground Level

First Level

Second Level

The second approach
My second approach only have 2 stories. The main gallery is located on the ground level. On the second level, one third is used as a bedroom and a kitchen. I designed to have two entrances which the owner can walk directly into his/her apartment at the back.

Initial idea - insert a courtyard in the middle of the building
