5.1          Building Design and Siting

The proposal involves the construction of a duplex dwelling across the site. Due to the steep slope of the site,
the design proposes car parking across the front of the site with the units stepping down the site. Due to the
limited opportunities for on street car parking the architect proposes two enclosed garages and two open
visitor spaces across the front of the site. Two individual entries are proposed for the units.

Unit 1 comprises three levels with the living, dining and kitchen areas on the upper floor, master bedroom and
second bedroom and ensuites on the middle floor and pool terrace, rumpus and laundry on the ground level.
An internal stairway and lift are proposed for unit as well as pedestrian access to the beach access to the
rear of the site.

Unit 2 is located on the lower rear part of the site and is accessed via a covered walkway along the northern
side of Unit 1. The ramped accessway slopes down the site to level 1 which contains the kitchen, living and
dining areas, level 2 the bedrooms and ensuites and level 3 the rumpus and pool terrace area. Unit 2
proposes internal stairways as well as an internal lift.

Proposed upper level balconies and decks are screened with shutters to adjoining sites.

The building adopts a contemporary design and proposes to utilise a range of high quality materials and
finishes which include:
                           •     Marine plywood sheeting with cover battens;
                           •     Copper sheet cladding or metal sheet cladding;
                           •     Opaque louvres;
