People and Lifestyles 



In this tutorial, we were considering on people actives and their lifestyle in the Paddigton area. We enlisted the below activities to find a framework on people's life style for future Scenario.

  • Respond economically to the socio-economic profile of Paddington area ----> Provide affordable retail, accommodation and reduce travel time and costs by merging different functions.

  • Have alternate mode of transport (monorail- Environmentally preferable) to reduce dependence on private vehicles, reduce traffic on roads (mainly to CBD), encourage those locals wanting to walk/ride to work within the Paddington area who were previously discouraged by hilly train.

  • Have some element of interactive learning/workshop within the complex -----> Dance Class, Art Workshop, Technology Exhibition Studios. To counteract the lack of learning facilitates in the immediate vicinity of Paddington Central.

  • Future ingrain, the coffee culture of paddington through inclusion of green "pod" coffee spots which provide excitement. Do not want to lose this part of the culture.

  • Provide a link between site and Suncorp Stadium. Make sure it is engaging and appealing to broad range of cultures (international games) ----> Further establishes site as community center.

  • Provide green space or vegetated facade in design to appeal to those seeking leisure and community interaction. Would also have environmental health benefits to users are local residents.
