Concept: project response.

In response to the proposed development several key outcomes were
deemed desirable.
• Quality product on the edge of the Northlake development.
• Residential & human scale.
• In keeping with the regions’ and overall developments’ vernacular.

The project response is based on an unobtrusive and sensitive integration
into the developing neighbourhood of Northlake. The majority of the proposal
is residential in use and scale becoming an extension of the developing
neighbourhood and a continuation of the current language overall
development. Building form and material choice are informed by the local
vernacular from within Northlake and the surrounding areas of the region
with inspiration drawn from rural woolsheds through to the existing buildings
within Northlake such as the Childcare Centre.

The buildings are located in such a way that the tallest (Care-pod Facility)
is located at the rear of the main cluster which diminishes its scale and
allows the residential units surrounding it to become the main focus from the
periphery.

Concept: CPTED.

Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) has been
considered during the design process for the proposed Retirement Village.
Key principles of CPTED and the project responses are:

Access - safe movement & connections
Access through the site predominantly runs east to west and is provided
in clearly identified zones for both vehicle and pedestrian movements. A
pedestrian route is provided to link housing lots to and from the retirement
village hub to the north of the site. Perimeter street lighting and pedestrian
routes are provided around the site.

Surveillance & sight lines - see & be seen
The retirement village enables activity and passive surveillance for the
surrounding streetscapes and public spaces. Landscape, walls and planting
are kept low with taller limbed trees to preserve views into and from the site.
(Refer to landscaping plan.) Low level lighting surrounding the village hub
area illuminates access routes and spaces where sight lines may be limited.
Within each accessway to residential units low level lighting demarcates
vehicle entries and vehicle splays aid in visibility for drivers.

Layout - clear & logical orientation
Residential buildings are orientated close to Outlet Road as a logical
continuation of the surrounding activity areas. The architecture has a simple       Quality, well maintained environments within proposed village grounds
language reflecting the overall Northlake development and wider region. The
main entry point is centred in the development and clearly defines access to
the main parking space via custom designed signage for first time visitors.

Activity mix - eyes on the street
The nature of the proposed residential typologies inherently provides passive
surveillance over the immediately adjacent areas and at multiple floor levels.
Importantly the accessways to each block of units will have one side of each
particular block with a balcony space that can oversee interactions below.
The Main Entry, Clubhouse & Amenity buildings of the site will become a hub
of arrival and departure providing variety of uses to the development and
adding a further layer of passive surveillance.

Sense of ownership - showing a space is cared for
As part of this development the operator is to undertake landscaping and
general maintenance, with residents where able can tend to the immediately
surrounding spaces taking ownership in conjunction with the operator.

Quality environments - well designed, managed and maintained
environments
The quality and maintenance of the retirement village buildings and grounds
including planting are important in running a successful enterprise. The
project seeks to provide a high level of, architecture and landscape design
through the use of quality, low maintenance, attractive design solutions.
                                                                                    Building use and internal layout, landscaping, and maintenance of sight lines
Physical protection – active security measures                                      allows for passive surveillance of surrounding public spaces
Alongside staff and guest active and passive surveillance, the retirement
village hub will likely have security measures including cameras, lockable
storage and 24/7 staff available. The use of these measures are seen
as typical of these facilities and will not detract from the quality of the
development or surrounding sites.

Concept: material palette.

With a material palette based on the current surrounding development the
project relates to the surrounding natural and built environment and settles
into its local landscape.

Materials have been selected to provide:
• resilience and durability
• low maintenance
• contemporary classic aesthetic
• warmth of colour
• tactile finish
• human scale

The following materials form the building palette:
• Textured masonry featuring unpainted brick veneer with over mortared
    trowel finish. Variation in brick selection as per image.
• Tray profile metal roofing in varying colour finish with reflectivity value of
    less than 20%                                                                  Textured masonry                  Stacked local schist landscaping elements   Timber pergola
• Metal cladding with vertical seams to match roofing colour
• Sustainably sourced timber weatherboards and screen slatting with
    variable natural oil finishes.
• Sustainably sourced timber pergola frames.
• Corten steel entry canopy.

                                                                                   Timber board & batten cladding    Timber slatting
