[espro-slider id=5270]According to the planners at Reel Planning, “the design provides significant variation in the façade through use of horizontal and vertical elements, as well as balconies and recesses. Being a corner site, the proposed setbacks optimize the separation to neighbouring sites to the west and south, with setbacks averaging over 4m to each side boundary. The design seeks flexibility to allow an interchangeable mix of long and short term accommodation as the market demands. For this reason, the proposal does not nominate which units are long or short term use and instead allows for flexibility.“
