3.0 Proposed development details
This design incorporates two ground floor retail tenancies (55m2 and 70m2) fronting Sunshine Beach
Rd, a first-floor office space (300m2) and 9 onsite carparking spaces with vehicle access off Berrima
Row. The proposal is the result of the following key design considerations:

   •   2 storey proposal, with emphasis on friendly pedestrian scale.
   •   Natural palette of external materials.
   •   Horizontal bands expressed in concrete which continue around the corner.
   •   Activated corner café / retail.
   •   Transparency to Sunshine Beach Road and Berrima Row.
   •   Takes advantage of the existing verge trees and landscape area to Berrima Row and Council
       carpark surrounds.
   •   Seeks to reduce bulk and scale of the west boundary wall via articulation and high level
       glazing.
   •   Lightweight roofs to reduce bulk.
   •   Domestic single storey presentation style to north elevation.
   •   Perimeter privacy planting to north boundary and central planter to office space courtyard.
   •   High level glazing throughout office space to ensure quality of space.
