52   A small awning projects into the setback of the main structure’s western façade that addresses
     Elm Street. The awning assists to modulate the appearance of the main structure’s façade
     and contributes to a gradation of building height and bulk to the street from the higher stepped
     hip and gable roof forms behind.

53   The awning’s projection has minimal bulk and provides depth to the façade’s appearance. It
     also ‘frames’ the façade’s fenestration as a focus that addresses the street. The awning’s
     appearance is enhanced by the utilisation of horizontal battens to provide a fascia beneath
     the gutter line. The battens, while adding subtle complexity and visual interest to the building’s
     appear, also provide a subtle visual reference to ‘character style’ architectural detailing that
     complements the dominant hipped and gable roofs that reflect historical building forms.

54   A similar fascia is utilised on the other awnings as an aesthetic element to characterise the
     proposed development’s overall appearance. The fascia is complemented by profiled rebates
     at the base of the precast walls that contrasts with the wall finish above, which relate to the
     human scale and further characterise the proposed development’s appearance.
