             PROJECT OVERVIEW
             PROJECT STATEMENT




             Four key design elements referencing the local natural habitat and
             representing the essence of the of the Noosa experience have driven the
             design language at planning, built form and material scales.

             Rich Native Bushland
             Connections are established with existing bushland. These connections are
             enhanced and integrated with the architecture with “in between spaces”
             filled with natural deep planting and green edges permeating into the fabric
             of the built-form to reduce building bulk and to enhance relationships with
             the environment.


             Rocky Coastal Outcrop
             The built form is grounded in the use of natural materials referencing the
             rocky coastal outcrops of Noosa heads. Natural rock facings provide warmth
             and colour with earthy tones alluding to local coastal character.

             Screens and windbreaks
             Balconies are designed to be open and light weight in appearance with
             transparent and open balustrading. Climate is modulated by screens and
             windbreaks which control temperature, shading and comfort. Batten and

             allude to golden sands of Noosa’s shoreline.


             Shade from the sun
             Protection from the sun is fundamental to comfortable living on the coast.
             Sunhoods, awnings, deep eaves and overhangs respond to the hot summer
             climate allowing filtered light to enter the building while affording weather
             protection. The use of shading devices reduces extremes of temperature and
             urban heat island effected. These features provide built character, articulate
             the building façade, add visual interest and are quintessential to the Noosa
             character.
