Figure 3 Internal Perspective (Source: Icon Building Design 2022)


The external walls of the building present a combination of off-white render, contrasting white and
natural timber tone horizontal cladding and featured sections of textured stonewall to create variation
and visual interest in the built form. Further, the external building facades employ ample window glazing,
timber-look batten screening devices and upper level planters that help provide greening of the external
walls.

Substantial articulation and variation of the building facades is facilitated through the application of
projections and recesses in the built form, which are strategically used to define the building levels, create
covered ground level private open space areas/Dwelling entrances and to provide shading and screening
of walls and windows. The extended roof eaves, upper level planters and batten screening devices in a
curved, wave-like, arrangement articulate the external walls and express the coastal themes evident in
the locality. Finally, the design incorporates a skillion, metal sheeted roof to achieve a contemporary roof
form. Overall, the proposed building design achieves significant visual interest and encompasses the
coastal character of Noosa Heads, through the use of lightweight timber treatments, upper level planters
and light coloured finishes.

Thoughtfully designed landscaping has been incorporated into the site’s frontage at ground level and
within the built form as upper level planters to soften the built form and foster the beachside character
of Noosa Heads, as depicted within the Landscape Plans prepared by Bird Landscape Design in Appendix
2.

The front fencing is broken up with a combination of textured stonewall wall and timber-look battens that
achieve some level of transparency to maintain a level of visibility into the site, whilst securing the private
open space of Unit 1. It is noted that the entrance to each Dwelling is legible via the secure gated driveway
and identifiable as glazed doors, with the units being numbered appropriately with signage. Visitors to
the site will utilise an intercom system at the front gate to gain entry to the site and Dwelling entrances.
