                                                        20 ROOF PITCH JUSTIFICATION



                       Design Intent


                       The house design provides a suitable solution to a somewhat challenging site, which presents a

                       significant 7,Om crossfall, stretching from the NE corner to the SW corner of the site,


                       The intent for the home was to provide expansive living area volumes, which maximised

                       opportunities for natural light and cross flow ventilation. This has been achieved with a single span
                       skill ion roof which orientates towards the north, setting up a large single volume, which increases

                       towards the alfresco area.



                       The 20 roof pitch is determined necessary in maintaining an architectural form that is sympathetic to
                                                                 ’-~ .




                       the landform and consistent with the preferred style of the home.




                       Roof Pitch



                       An increased roof pitch would present the following implications on the house design and

                       surrounding realm:


                               Greater impact on neighbours with an increased overbearing roof.

                               A greater roof pitch would reduce the solar protection and provide greater exposure to the

                               elements.

                               A compliant 50 roof pitch would raise the roof height by more than 1.0m,which in turn

                               would exceed maximum height from natural ground and have a greater visual impact from

                               the street and neighbouring properties.

                               An increased roof height would require additional structural framing and cladding.

                               A more acute roof angle would be less visually pleasing and appear more obtrusive from the

                               street.
