surrounding development;

b) does not present an appearance of bulk to
adjacent properties, roads or other areas

in the vicinity of the site;

c) maximises the retention of existing
vegetation and allows for soft landscaping
between buildings;

d) allows for adequate area at ground level
for outdoor recreation, entertainment,
clothes drying and other site facilities; and

e) facilitates on-site stormwater management
and vehicular access.

 

b) The incorporation of lightweight materials
and natural muted tones softens th- bulk of
the proposal. Further the ‘split’ of the
building into two pavilions minimises the
visual scale of the dwelling and its
appearance of bulk from adjoining
residences. !n addition the incorporation of
fins and apertures along the side elevations
of the proposed dwelling creates a sense of
permeability, thereby reducing the building
bulk.

c) As previously detailed the cantilevered
design of key building elements ensures the
establishment of extensive vegetation across
the site.

d) The architect has given careful
consideration to the usability of the dwelling,
accordingly large areas of outdoor spaces
are provided for active purposes.

e) The large areas of open space facilitate
stormwater management and adequate
vehicle access.

 

Roof Form

 

The design philosophy of the proposed dwelling's roof form is best articulated by the architect:

Although the two external longitudinal elevations do not have eaves the ‘internal’ longitudinal
and shorter elevations of each pavilion have generous ‘tropical scaled’ eaves. The north west
elevation is animated through a series of shutters which allow views and air flow in good
weather yet allow the house to be closed down in inclement weather — when the inhabitants
can retreat to the protection of the central out door room. The south east elevation is also
articulated through the incorporation of a series of timber blades.

66% of the external walls of the building have eaves, all of which are greater than 600mm.
The other 34% of the external walls consist of the architectural gesture of the folded ‘roof /
walls which give the building it's unique aesthetic. An aesthetic which is complimentary, both
to the natural landscape as well as the sub tropical beachside nature of the locality.
