Building Height:
The development application notes that the site falls away from Swann Road allowing the proposed design to provide a building height consistent with adjoining multiple dwellings. Furthermore, the design includes a significantly recessed upper level and treated facade to presents as 5 storeys to the rear property boundary and adjoining dwelling houses.
Subtropical Design:
According to the development application, the project has been driven by a desire to encompass principles of sub-tropical design in order to generate a climatically responsive outcome which offers maximum amenity for residents to enjoy Brisbane’s climate.
A variety of initiatives are being targeted to best address the Brisbane climate. Some of the features considered in the design include:
- Deep balconies and sun shading elements provide rain and solar protection for units while also decreasing solar heat gain on the building fabric
- Balconies extending off internal living and bedroom spaces reinforce the indoor/outdoor connection
- Ceilings are 2.7m high with operable louvres above sliding doors to provide secure natural ventilation
- Rooftop recreational areas provide usable and well connected amenity to residents, and promote the use of outdoor space
