Table 1 – Key development criteria


4.2       BUILT FORM
The contemporary mixed-use development is architecturally designed to provide a fresh and vibrant
presence to the relaxed coastal character of Peregian Beach. The mixed-use development will
incorporate a range of natural finish building elements that will complement the surrounding urban
environment.

The building entails a bold roof design that enhances the existing character of the streetscape, and
compliments the transition between the residential development in the south and the commercial in
the north. The proposed roof lines will add visual interest to the development when viewed from David
Low Way.

The development includes high levels of articulation including a cantilevered sunshade device to the
front façade, which provides additional visual interest through increased depth and shade. The
sunshade device incorporates vertical blades across the front façade for additional texture. Refer to
Figure 6 above.

The southern façade incorporates elongated vertical windows to limit the opportunity for overviewing
towards the adjoining residential premises. The façade also includes high horizontal windows to
facilitate access to light, and as a compromise for the lower vertical windows. The southern elevation
includes a single first floor balcony which is located toward the rear of the site and will for primarily
oversee the adjoining garage and driveway.

The northern façade includes two residential balconies, which have desirable northerly orientation.
Landscaping planter boxes have been incorporated into these balconies to provide soft landscape
elements and privacy for residents and to provide additional visual interest to the northern elevation of
the development.
