Response to Item 12

The existing building design is articulated to provide variation in the building elevation. The stepping
of the units allows each separate dwelling to be identified as its own entity. The building façade also
provides visual interest and articulation through the use of mixed textures and materials. The façade
includes Hardies’ Linea’ Cladding and Hardies’ Axon Cladding to provide variety (refer Figure 7
below) as well as glass in solid panes and louvres and timber. The roof of the outdoor terrace also
projects from the building façade to create greater pockets of light and shade. Windows are provided
with shade by using hoods which also project into the space. A large portion of the rear façade will be
located below the natural ground level due to the stepping of the proposed development across the
site and cut and fill to provide a step-free entrance to each dwelling. The visual impact of the rear
façade is not significant or overly bulky in the landscape.

of the units allows each separate dwelling to be identified as its own entity. The building fagade also

provides visual interest and articulation through the use of mixed textures and materials. The fagade
