response to information request Plover St

The site slopes steeply away from the Plover St frontage and the driveway design requires
the garage to be setback less than 6m to allow for the garaging without scraping. This
design is consistent with many coastal properties along this part of Peregian and Sunshine
Beach.

The local award-winning architect Dan Sparks provides the following commentary in
regard to the design:

       ‘The building is perceived as two distinct pavilions, articulated as robust ’shells’
       These shells, whilst providing a strong coastal architectural aesthetic, performed
       the function of providing protection to living spaces within and under - expressed
       as more intricate, detailed and layered space and material. The shells protect from
       sun, rain and inclement winds. They provide both the primary architectural
       language of the home and its dominant environmental control.’

The shells address the street and hang over the garage providing visual interest to the
street, as shown below.




The main building line to the garage is setback 4.5m and is more than the average setback
along this part of Peregian Beach. The shell elements provide an important part of the
building design and provide weather protection and interest to the building. Landscaping
is provided in front of the building and is consistent with the predominant building
streetscape consistent with the Performance Outcomes.
