intent of the Planning Scheme and with the surrounding
streetscape'';

2. clearly delineates between the heights of the upper and lower levels
of the building;

3. provides for screens to the upper level which are operable when
open and provide a more transparent facade;

4. provides for screens which are diverse in that they vary in material,
detail and type while also creating depth and shadow play in the
facade;

5. has a ground level with a light, open and transparent design;

6. has a street awning which is light and thin-edged and lightens the
building;

7. has managed, through the use of its operable facade and variety of
materials and detail, to create articulation and depth variation in the
alignment of the upper level facade;

8. features a variety of materials across its facade to reinforce the
coastal character and informal village-like atmosphere; and

9. is consistent with the requirements of the Planning Scheme for those
reasons.

presents as open and informal;

2. achieves a facade which features an indoor/outdoor character,
lightness and informality;
