SWEET BRIAR RETAIL PARK, NORWICH

This is just a very simple A3 retail unit type located in an existing retail park.

The challenge on this tight-budget, functional and simple building is to make it interesting.
In this design the building's interestingness is created through:

1. Exposing the end detail structure of the building.

2. Installing a unique gutter shape

3. Composition of materials

4. Keeping rain water down-pipe (RWDP) in between the feature wall which will break the monotonous of a long wall thus turns RWDP into a feature detail.

This simple design creates more character and to a certain degree of detail towards making a simple building looks interesting without using a fancy, complex and expensive solution.
