The proposed development provides generous frontage, light orientated living zones and an open plan layout leading to increased internal efficiency and functionality. The dwelling has been designed to be family orientated, an iconic place to live, and as a contribution to the streetscape without being recessive or regressive.
The proposition is one that considers, acknowledges and references its neighbourhood character. The response is a modest, robust and highly considered architectural outcome. It recognises the requirement for quality building and respects the local context both environmentally and socially.
The proposal offers opportunity for a strong local precedent and implies an iconic nature, important in an otherwise unidentifiable suburban area. It is imagined as a catalyst for future development of under-utilised land within the Springvale residential zone, insofar that it is flexibly and efficiently planned and delivered with care and awareness for its immediate surrounds whilst still taking advantage of an under-utilised site.
