MCU10/2083 Development Application part 2 - Attachment 3 - Architectural Design Report and Statement of Landscape Intent

Construction System and Materials

The building will be built from a hybrid structural system consisting of coloured tilt panel construction with
braced steel framed portals. Roofing is colourbond metal deck, with gable infills where the skillions ‘join’
finished with painted fibrous cement, (in the manner of residential architecture). Roof flashings and profiles will
be finely detailed to match the roof colour and profile. Shop fronts will be flush glazed with coloured frames.
Bulkhead infill wall between the shopfront head datum and the undulating roofs will be painted fibrous cement,
and will incorporate a tenancy signage band.


ESD

The development will incorporate ESD initiatives. Rainwater will be harvested for landscape irrigation and refuse
bin washdown. A recycling refuse area will also be provided for handling various waste type. Wheelie bins will
be used to separate glass, plastics and cardboard/paper recycling. A refrigerated cool room will hold bins for
food scrap. Bicycle parking, showers, and bike lockers will also be provided for use by the building staff and
patrons.




Response to Locale


Addressing Streetscape

The proposed design integrates with the streetscape through a composition that includes relatively small scale
building gables ‘fronting’ each street. The wall elevation facing Gibson Road is approximately 16 m long, while
the wall elevation facing Skipper Place is approximately 8m long. In addition, each elevation opens onto an
occupied and covered outdoor terrace. Additionally a landscape buffer is provided to the full length of the site
frontage to Gibson Road and Skipper Place, broken only by vehicle and pedestrian cross over.



The gable ends are therefore domestic in scale, and express the residential skillion roof forms of the cross
section, along with the cantilevered canopy. This approach will present appropriately scaled building forms to
the streetscape in a manner that is complimentary to the contemporary Sunshine Coast vernacular and locale.
Landscape intent will also play a significant role in integrating the building into the local environment. Where
noted on the plans existing significant vegetation will be retained. Native vegetation is planned to the carparking
area and landscape buffers to the perimeter of the as described above. In addition to the landscape being
incorporated in the total composition of the specific development, it will also integrate the idea of ‘buildings in
the landscape’ as part of the broader landscape setting of the locale.

Neighbourhood Impact

A 3m setback is provided along neighbouring boundaries with a 2m high fence. There will be a 2m wide
landscape buffer and 1m wide service path planned as part of the 3m wide setback. As described above, the
building is domestic in scale, and single storey in height along the southern and western boundaries. In some
instances the proposed development is lower than the height of neighbouring buildings. As previously noted the
roof profile will be articulated into a series of smaller scale parts.
