ESSENCE OF PEREGIAN ARCHITECTUREAL REPORT

The proposed development consists of 4 main zones:

Zone 1- The commercial building facing David Low Way highway.

Zone 2- To the north between zone 1 and 3 there is 3x interconnected three to four
story ‘hostel’ configuration accommodation buildings. These are accessed by a series
of breezeways and a bridge over the service road which connects all zones to the
Peregian shopping precinct via the existing pedestrian crossing on David low way.

Zone 3- Forms the edge of the built up area of the site and wraps around on the
southern side toward the commercial zone. There are a series of vertical 2 story and
3 story holiday cabins facing the wetland and segeland.

Zone 4- Is an untouched natural conservation zone of environmental wetland and
sedgeland creating a buffer to the national park.

Zone 1.

The commercial consists of two levels of retail and restaurants at the lower floor and offices/
commercial tenancies on the upper level above basement car parking.

By taking advantage of the natural topography the basement carpark is a storey below David
Low Way. This then allows the building to read as two stories for passing traffic both
pedestrian and vehicular. .

The roof of the development in not higher than the highest part of the neighbouring hotel on
David Low Way. The building bulk has been broken up into three distinct connected pavilions
articulating a more domestic scale. Overhanging decks and roofs facing the street give a
subtropical palette of light and shade. A series of vertical fins along the street give a _.
colonnade effect, provide shading and serve as privacy from the busy David Low Way for the
glass facade of the building behind. Signage has been designed to integrate with the
colonnade fins. Two sentilnel kauri pines will further articulate the form and provide public
seating complementing the existing bus stop on the road. The whole facade has been
designed to give the Peregian Village a sense of place and arrival.

It is intended that the commercial building will also give a sense of urban connectivity and
transition between the tourist accommodation zones at the rear and the Peregian Shopping
Village across the street to the east.

Zone 2.

The hostel tourist accommodation in zone 2 has been designed as fingers that run
perpendicular to David Low Way and the commercial zone configuration. The spaces in
between the fingers have been utilized for open space recreation including bbq’s and
swimming pools. ,

The shared units are accessed by external walkways and all 3 buildings are connected via
elevated walkways at all levels with 2 shared lifts providing on grade access throughout.

All of the units incorporate shared kitchen and laundry facilities. These are grouped in various
typologies that range between 6 people sharing, 9 people sharing and 18 people sharing
facilities.

There are also 6 universally accessible units in which a pair shares facilities as well.

These buildings are three stories high plus ‘pop tops’. Because of the low lying land all of the
roofs of any building do not rise above the highest part of the existing hotel. They appear as
no grater than two story above the David Low Way.

Zone 3.

The vertical format cabins in Zone 3 consist of 8 two story and 22 three story buildings, seven
-of which are connected in a duplex configuration and there is one single triplex configuration.
This accommodation type gives diversity to the range and style within the resort and it is
envisaged that the mini ‘Beach Houses’ will provide holiday rental options to the hostel type
accommodation in adjacent zone 2.

The parking for the cabins is in the open deck car park under the hostel buildings in Zone 2,
access is only via pedestrian and buggies paths. Two of the cabins have a bedroom on
ground level as they are designed for universal access. All buildings have been placed to get
view corridors to the wetland and mountains to the west. :
Because of the low lying land the three storey cabins will read as single story above David
Low Way stories.

Zone 4. .
ls an unharmed natural vegetation zone to be preserved and maintained as a buffer to the
national park.

The vehicular entry to the site like the present caravan park, is on the southern side from the
existing lane way and has been designed to service the basement car parking under the
commercial building. One single driveway feeds into the three separate open deck car parks
under the hostel accommodation in zone 2 and into the basement car park under commercial
building in zone 1 respectively.

The zone 3 buildings are also serviced by these car parks and are linked by pedestrian

network of walkways
Ample room has been provided for vehicles arriving for “check- in” at the manager's office,
shuttle busses drop of zone as well as rubbish retrieval and loading bay manoeuvring.

All buildings will have been designed to maximise passive natural ventilation and sun
orientation. The buildings ESD features are rain water harvesting, solar hot water systems
and it is proposed to install highly rated fittings and fixtures throughout.

The existing vegetation and landscaping will be reinforced by new planting. The overall effect
will be a project setting within an organized and well maintained landscape environment with
a visual impact of no more than two stories from neighbouring vantage points in the Peregian
vicinity.

The vehicular and pedestrian circulation throughout the site has been designed and
integrated into the landscape and built fabric offering legibility and ease of ‘way finding’ for
patrons.

The spine circulation via bridge runs centrally in an east West direction allowing simple
access to the beach, surf club and village facilities. The overall proposal within the site is
permeable and offers a visible urban “bookend” to the west of the Peregian Village.

The commercial/retail facilities will complement the existing Peregian hub and the tourist
accommodation patrons will provide additional commercial inertia to boost the existing
Peregian Village shopping village.
