Massing is usually settled first and access worked out afterwards. This study runs them together. Three volumes are placed on a falling site of forty eight metres, and a single route is drawn through them before any of the three is fixed.
The site section shows what that buys: each mass sits at its own level, and the route climbs seven metres across the site without a step that has to be explained.
A concept study made in the studio. Not a commission, not a client project and not built.
