PART 1 : DESIGN QUALITY PRINCIPLES

Design Quality Principle 1Context & Neighbourhood Character

Good design responds and contributes to its context. Context is the key natural and built features of an area, their relationship and the character they create when combined. It also includes social, economic, health and environmental conditions.

Responding to context involves identifying the desirable elements of an area’s existing or future character. Well designed buildings respond to and enhance the qualities and identity of the area including the adjacent sites, streetscape and neighbourhood. Consideration of local context is important for all sites, including sites in established areas, those undergoing change or identified for change.

ProposalThe proposal is situated within a semi-rural context but will form part of a radically different context as development associated with the SEPP (Sydney Regional Growth Centres) 2006-Area 20 comes on line. The proposal therefore, will form part of the new urban context and assist to define the character of the area.

This Development Application is is for Phase 3 of the approved masterplan JRPP-15-02701.

The proposal provides a sympathetic relationship with the emerging mixed use and residential character of the area.

The proposal introduces new streets, parks and pedestrian networks which integrate with the pattern of the existing road network and street blocks in the locality.

Site permeability is also improved with the new streets, park and pedestrian site links.

T U R N E RDesign Quality Principles

588-104 Rouse Road Rouse Hill_Design Report Stage 2_DA Phase 3 Submission

Design Quality Principle 2Built Form and ScaleGood design achieves a scale, bulk and height appropriate to the existing or desired future character of the street and surrounding buildings.

Good design also achieves an appropriate built form for a site and the building’s purpose in terms of building alignments, proportions, building type, articulation and the manipulation of building elements. Appropriate built form defines the public domain, contributes to the character of streetscapes and parks, including their views and vistas, and provides internal amenity and outlook.

ProposalThe proposal provides 4 storey development as viewed from all streets, which is consistent with the scale anticipated for the site by the relevant planning controls.

The proposed development has been considered to ensure that the buildings are proportional to the spaces around them.

The proposed building forms are designed to define each street edge and to provide large communal courtyards to the centre of the lots.

The proposed building forms are realigned to define a system of internal vehicle and pedestrian streets to improve permeability and legibility.

The proposed building forms respond to the site typology positively and reduce the overall apparent mass of the development with facades varying to suit the different conditions and amenity within the site.

The main buildings are articulated vertically at key points, in particular the double height entry lobbies and at areas where facade elements change. Horizontal articulation is also applied by facade elements by way of expressed concrete slab edges.

Streets are provided with landscaped setbacks and direct access to individual apartments.

Appropriate building separation and setbacks have been considered throughout the concept plan to improve the amenity of the development.

Building service locations within the streetscape are consolidated to a minimal number of locations.

Site Plan - Development Phasing

Design Quality Principle 3Density

Good design achieves a high level of amenity for residents and each apartment, resulting in a density appropriate to the site and its context.

Appropriate densities are consistent with the area’s existing or projected population. Appropriate densities can be sustained by existing or proposed infrastructure, public transport, access to jobs, community facilities and the environment.

Proposal

The site area for Phase 3 of the approved masterplan is 9645 square meters. The proposal has a GFA of 16,172.5 m2 which is below the approved GFA of 17,535 m2. This generates an FSR of 1.68:1.

There are 762 apartments anticipated within the overall site across all phases (1-3), with a range of 1 bed, 2 bed, 3 bed apartments, which respond to the needs of the for diversity & the local housing market. There are 163 apartments proposed within detailed Stage 2 DA Phase 3.

The density for the proposed development is appropriate for the site and its location given its access to major road networks, its close proximity to Cudgegong train station and town centre and forthcoming availability of local infrastructure, public transport as well as recreational opportunities.

Design Quality Principle 4Sustainability

Good design combines positive environmental, social and economic outcomes. Good sustainable design includes use of natural cross ventilation and sunlight for the amenity and liveability of residents and passive thermal design for ventilation, heating and cooling reducing reliance on technology and operation costs. Other elements include recycling and reuse of materials and waste, use of sustainable materials, and deep soil zones for groundwater recharge and vegetation.

Proposal

The building form and orientation have been organised so as to provide good natural day lighting and solar access into primary living spaces, primary outdoor living spaces and communal courtyards.

The proposed development provides a minimum 66% cross ventilated apartments.

Energy efficient appliances and water efficient devices will be specified to minimise water consumption and resource.

Further information regarding the ESD performance and credentials of the proposal can be found in the accompanying BASIX report submitted as part of this development application.

Design Quality Principle 5Landscape

Good design recognises that together landscape and buildings operate as an integrated and sustainable system, resulting in attractive developments with good amenity. A positive image and contextual fit of well designed developments is achieved by contributing to the landscape character of the streetscape and neighbourhood.

Good landscape design enhances the development’s environmental performance by retaining positive natural features which contribute to the local context, co-ordinating water and soil management, solar access, micro-climate, tree canopy, habitat values, and preserving green networks. Good landscape design optimises usability, privacy and opportunities for social interaction, equitable access, respect for neighbours’ amenity, provides for practical establishment and long term management.

Proposal

A landscape concept designed by Scape Design has been integrated into the proposal. The design includes a new communal space, through site link, street edges and public domain.

The generous landscaped communal courtyards will provide significant amenity to the development including a varienty of usable spaces and outlook for those living above.

All perimeter streets include tree planting and landscaped setbacks which will assist in providing screening to the buildings.

The proposed communal and public open spaces, will meet the needs for a variety of different activities within the site.

Refer to the landscape concept design plans and statement for further detail.

Design Quality Principle 6Amenity

Good design positively influences internal and external amenity for residents and neighbours. Achieving good amenity contributes to positive living environments and resident well being.

Good amenity combines appropriate room dimensions and shapes, access to sunlight, natural ventilation, outlook, visual and acoustic privacy, storage, indoor and outdoor space, efficient layouts and service areas, and ease of access for all age groups and degrees of mobility.

Proposal

The proposed development employs appropriate building separation between all building forms to provide a high level of privacy for both the residents and surrounding neighbours.

The proposed development provides 70% of the apartments 2 hours of sunlight to the living rooms during the winter solstice.

Apartment layouts have been designed to maximise the number of north facing units while providing street definition and surveillance. Generally, storage areas are provided inside apartments. Additional lockable storage areas are provided in the basement as well as designated storage rooms on each level.

Apartments are planned to create spaces that are well proportioned and with a minimum of re-entrant and unusual shapes so that they have simple, coherent forms and are easy for residents to furnish.

Privacy between apartments is achieved through good separation distances and orientation.

Design Quality Principle 7Safety

Good design optimises safety and security, within the development and the public domain. It provides for quality public and private spaces that are clearly defined and fit for the intended purpose. Opportunities to maximise passive surveillance of public and communal areas promote safety.

A positive relationship between public and private spaces is achieved through clearly defined secure access points and well lit and visible areas that are easily maintained and appropriate to the location and purpose.

Proposal

Safe access is achieved through clear pedestrian routes within the site, utilising the existing and new street networks and new through site links.

Active street frontages will be provided through multiple residential building entry points and direct access to street level apartments.

Passive surveillance is achieved from balconies and windows at the high levels, as well as the private terraces at ground level.

There will be appropriate lighting to all external areas, both public and communal.

Design Quality Principle 8Diversity and Social Interaction

Good design achieves a mix of apartment sizes, providing housing choice for different demographics, living needs and household budgets.

Well designed apartment developments respond to social context by providing housing and facilities to suit the existing and future social mix. Good design involves practical and flexible features, including different types of communal spaces for a broad range of people, providing opportunities for social interaction amongst residents.

Proposal

The proposed development provides a range of unit typologies and sizes to respond to the needs of the local community and to different price points.

Housing diversity and affordability will be enhanced through the provision of a range of unit typologies which cater for families, single persons, couples and ”empty nesters”.

10% of apartments have been designed as adaptable layouts. They have been distributed throughout the buildings in different typologies to offer variety to potential purchasers.

20% of apartments have been designed in accordance with the Livable Housing Guideline’s silver level universal design features.

The outdoor public and communal spaces are designed to provide accessible areas for social interaction and congregation.

Design Quality Principle 9Aesthetics

Good design achieves a built form that has good proportions and a balanced composition of elements, reflecting the internal layout and structure. Good design uses a variety of materials, colours and textures.

The visual appearance of well designed apartment development responds to the existing or future local context, particularly desirable elements and repetitions of the streetscape.

Proposal

The buildings are designed with a collection of façade treatments that:

• Respond to the varying site conditions

• Reduce the scale of single building forms

• Create variety & individual idenity

• Reinforce building entries

• Separate parking & building services for pedestrians and apartments

• The characterisation contributes to a particular building identity through variance in form and materiality.

• Fences, gates and planting walls to ground floor apartments with individual street access provide fine grain detail in the streetscape.
