In project 3, a gallery tower is being added to the existing structures - the kiosk and bicycle workshop. The definition of the gallery tower is a building that is at least 2 storeys high, with a minimum 3m height of each level. Other elements to be added include internal stairs and a minimum of one skylight. The gallery is being integrated into the undulating roof, creating a more dramatic effect, keeping the roof as the point of interest. As art galleries do not welcome direct sunlight as it will damage the exhibits, a non-movable louvered wall is being implemented on the north opening of the above ground gallery to reduce the amount of direct sunlight received, yet allowing diffuse light in from the south through the skylight.
