                                                        species, reflecting as close as practicable the
                                                        natural state of the site.

                                                        Accommodation buildings are designed and
                                                        constructed to take advantage of the sun and
                                                        breezes to heat buildings in winter and cool them
                                                        in summer.
                                                        AO20.11
                                                        Buildings have construction materials and colour
                                                        palettes that respond to the textures and colours of
                                                        the surrounding landscapes to allow the buildings
                                                        to blend and not stand out in their natural
                                                        surroundings.
                                                        Editor’s Note— Appropriate colours will depend on the
                                                        existing native vegetation and backdrop, but may include
                                                        muted tones such as green, olive green, blue green,
                                                        grey green, yellow green, green blue, indigo, brown, and
                                                        blue grey. Adaptive reuse of well-established rural
                                                        buildings is encouraged.
