Site 3 documented above is a 2 level building sandwiched between 2 buildings on King Street, building on the left being 2 levels and the one on the right being 3 levels. As apart of the Newtown theme, the majority of the buildings that face the main street have awnings, so it was very important to keep to this theme.
Materiality; the buildings' main face is a rendered brick surface of a lightish colour. The building on the left is of a similar texture. The building on the other side is constructed of a dark warm coloured brick.
Site characteristics; the site has a very irregular frontage, with a perpendicular frontage of 16,000 mm and side lengths of 44,000 mm and 33,000 mm. The building faces King Street and has an overall 'Shopping District' atmosphere.
The pathways for pedestrians on King Street are just over 3,000 mm, which encourages movement for the public and tourists.
Finally there is a service way access for the site from the back that allows for private access hence the private and public sections are clearly distinguished and separated.
