My Project... advice needed.
-
So this is it, A simple gallery space containing:
- Two outside spaces (one is slightly covered)
- Cafe.
- Lecture room
4)Indoor exhibition space. - Painting storage
However I am extremely unhappy with the the front facade. What makes it more complicated is the requirement of the upper outside gallery to overhang.

Ill all up listen to critic etc. (A lot of the detail is hidden by the layers). How would you fix the front façade?

Is that the gallery up top? Usually art galleries would not have direct light, especially from above. What don't you like about the front? Is this a programmatic requirement? If you wanted "boxy overhang", you have it. Maybe how it relates to the openings and the rest of the building needs definition and that is what bothers you. Also are there any graphics that would go on it? that streaky pattern is not bad.
Indeed usually galleries do have natural light comming from the top. The box is a programmatic requirment, with the cafeteria which also is located on the 2nd floor (beats my logic too). There two sculptural spaces one is the box while the other is on the other side. All the paintings are located on the ground floor. So all the natural light would have to go in through the side.
Yeah the lack of its definition killed the boxy overhang, I did a quick test and made the longer side all glass and painted everything with the streaky texture. Looks way better. On the other hand it will get a lot of direct southern light, doesn't change a lot though as the triangular roof all ready had to be transparent.
Are 4m bi-folding doors possible?

I said DIRECT light. It causes glare and damages artwork.

Its hard to offer informed criticism of your design without understanding it fully, as in seeing the plans as well.

I think there were plans but something happened to the image.
