The site is on Oxford St, Darlinghurst at the corner of Verona St. Orginially, it is the Berkelouw Bookstore. This proximately 5m x 20m rectangular 3-story building block is attached to a resident building. Across Verona St, it's a slightly higher 3-story commercial building which can block direct sunlight from the North in the afternoon. It creates an natural advantage for the lighting of the gallery which is clearly shown on the sitellite map above. Locating between the National Art School and the College of Fine Arts brings attention from the same field. Moreover, Oxford St as one of Sydney's most bustling streets is famous for its open-mind style. So lots of young designers and artists have set up their shops and galleries there. The Verona St corner is which I think the perfect spot for the gallery I'm building because it's not isolated or disturbing from the rest.
