RE: ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STATEMENT

DESIGN

The proposed supermarket development set amongst Garnet Street Cooroy has been designed
to sit confidently within the surrounding context. The design has resulted in a single storey
building fronting Garnet Street, whilst having a 2 storey fagade fronting Wimmers Lane.

The existing large leopard trees along Garnet Street are to remain unobstructed, maintaining
the lush streetscape that is currently present throughout Cooroy. In addition to this, the
development has taken a modern approach to the traditional awning lined shopfront providing
a horizontal arbour style awning and covered entry space benefiting those both passing through
and visiting the site.

Further enhancing the building aesthetics, a combination of paint finished concrete, face brick,
light weight timber cladding and timber battens provides for a modest yet modern material
palette of earthy natural tones reflecting that of the surrounding buildings. These materials in
combination with transparent shopfront glazing along Garnet Street, deliver subtle facade
frticulation whilst providing clear sight lines and a connection from inside to out.

A combination of differing height parapet walls conceal simplified roof form consisting of both
single pitch and hipped roof sections.

Signage zones have been represented on the building elevations, providing clear yet controlled
signage to the primary Garnet Street frontage, Signage locations are in line with the Noosa plan
being located on awning blades and/or parapet walls.

Nil setback has been given to the Garnet Street facade, whilst maintaining a generous
landscaped zone in excess of 5.5m in front of the car parking area. This provides for sufficient
separation from the site frontage and pedestrian movement, in addition to providing external
seating zones amongst the existing leopard trees.

The building elevations and site sections help to explain the relationship of the building to the
site. As a result of the site contour, the program of this development is zoned and separated
both in plan and section.

The deliveries / service zone accessed from Wimmers Lane, is physically separated from the
ground floor car park resulting in a more pleasant and safe experience for the user. A screened
