The final model was made into scale in Google SketchUp. Using the 'add location' tool with the integrated Google Maps, I was able to pin-point the location of my design site which calculated also my directions of the sunlight at any given time of the day, month, or year which i found to be very helpful in the process reacting to shadows and sunlight.
Above can see the existing train railway of which passes in-between the main block and the wind-proofing structure, where above it is the stop for the tram and the tram rail line.
The facade is composed of formally arranged glass-tiled panels where the supporting structures of beams are placed in the exterior as to allow maximum space inside. As can be seen, the facade of glass follows through the edge of the raised ground that acts as a soundproofing wall for the neighbouring building.
