the briefThe Pulse FM community radio station at 68 Little Ryrie St, Geelong is being developed in to a multi media training centre while continuing the existing live radio broadcasts and community programs. The adaptive re-use of the existing Pulse FM radio station building must include:
• additional office space (manager and 4 staff)
• multi purpose training space
• retention of view to live studio
• relocation of toilet facilities
• additional training studio
• storage space
next
Additional facilities must enhance the station and actively develop the site. Initial consultation with the manager indicated a café would be suitable after extensive feasibility studies (no doubt). There was a wish to keep the mud brick walls in the core of the building if possible. The site is being developed as a training centre with multi media, radio and recording studios for training purposes.
the brief
next
urban contextThe site sits in the middle of Geelong City with close proximity to many large commercial and public facilities within a 4 block radius. The site is particularly tucked away but can be accessed on foot or by car. Parking is minimal as is passing traffic. Incidental foot traffic is negligible and visitors to the site would be coming for a “reason” rather than “drop ins”. Residential developments and existing university dorms neighbour one side with office and commercial space completing the remaining surrounds.
next
existing conditionsExisting conditions are quite poor considering there is such a large space under roof beams spanning the entire width of the site. The existing layout is disorganised and confusing. Little value in retaining much (see design concepts). Climatic conditions are sheltered within the city confines although northern solar access is favourable.

concepts
Clarify the site and provide access for all. Keep mud brick as per client’s wishes while still allowing clarity.
next
concepts
Roof trusses allow an open plan with great shadows and play of light as sun streams through the structural elements.

‘Exploding’ wall panels allow notions of transparency and openness while still allowing privacy.

concepts
passive systems require a community understanding that sits comfortably with the centre’s goals. Interiors reflect an open flexible space available for presentations of training or professional success.
