Whitehall Waterfront


As I visited the site, I observed the material closely of my chosen building. The exterior wall looked like beige concrete bricks. The stairs leading to main entrance was made of steel and the door itself was made of black metal. In between the concrete wall outside, there is glass covering the majority of the building. The interior looked unfinished; the first floor has a wood floor that has been placed temporarily to allow builders to work in the space. The wall inside is not rendered and in consequence the grey bricks are still visible. There are still pipe lines visible that looks like they need to be covered. From observing, the first floor looks approximately three metres and a half, and the ground floor looked much taller with an estimation of about four metre. The first floor contained beams that looked like strong wood painted in pink. It is however the first floor that looks more unfinished compared to the ground floor.










The building is currently under renovation by an architecture company called Erdy Mchenry Architecture. Their world is apparent on the ground floor which is half occupied by a company. The finished part of the interior looks modern with a gentle finish. The waiting and reception area is fully furnished with white painted walls, with steel stairs on the left leading to the first floor. In the first floor there is a meeting room with modern furniture and the same theme was evident as the wall was also painted white. The mood was very calming and it felt relaxed, but the same thing could not be said t the majority of the interior. The other side of the building is still looking rough as mentioned above. The space all together is very spacious and more than big enough to carry my major project design.
