MASTER PLAN & GUIDELINES • Create a sustainable living environment for low income people in the parking lot.

• The apartment will have an accessible green roof and inside green spaces, aiming to form a large green belt with two public parks to the west.

• Mixed use allows affordable housing not only to be habitable but also to create value.

The shops on the ground floor mainly serve the school to the west and the lowincome people who live here.

The site is a low-density residential area and is planned to be redeveloped for mixed use or residential use. The buildings on this site will prioritize providing mixed use on the frontage to activate and define the street, and provide isolation between busy streets and residential areas. The height of the building will respond to the existing environment.

Vision This area will thrive to meet the needs of the population and become a safe, inclusive, and connected community. The new mixed use buildings will bring various new social, cultural and entertainment opportunities to the region. At the same time, through natural landscape and sustainable design, the comfort and livability of the region will be improved, presenting a healthier lifestyle.

Objectives • •

•

Establish a true mixed use community Establish new businesses to provide commercial use and other services for direct communities, as well as entertainment and regional retail.

Provide accessible facilities and services to provide a healthy and safe living environment for people with disabilities and the elderly Improve pedestrian amenities, solar channels, and potential landscapes by aligning buildings with street edges and planting street trees along sidewalks Ensure that the depth and isolation of the building comply with best practices to provide visual and auditory privacy, and consider landscape courtyards and garden areas.

Ensure that future development is not adversely affected by flood issues

①Integrating sustainability into the design and planning of building environments

②Protecting the health and wellbeing of the country

③Inclusive community and humanized design

④Healthy behavior and psychology

Part 4 Key Moves

Regular Street Grid • • •

Comprehensively improve the reachability of the region. Brock avenue should be readjusted and straightened to enhance the connection between different functions.

The north-south residential streets are directly connected to new service facilities and parks.

Encourage pedestrian movement

Rich architectural functions • • •

Continuing the existing health center and incorporating functions such as retail, commercial, and service, Both are mixed use buildings, and roof garden can provide leisure activities.

Combining architectural forms with park landscapes should better utilize architectural forms to standardize and improve courtyard spaces.

P r e s e n t a t i o n

Optimized open space • •

A new landscape avenue has created a landscape view of the blue mountains, providing better access, improving road finding, safety, and security.

Increase and improve the comfort of open spaces, with open public lawns adding picnics, dog walks, children's games, and other leisure activities.

Uniform distribution of density • • • •

Comfortable building and road scale, creating a good living environment.

Optimize accessibility for all residents.

Improve the physical and visual relationship between residential areas and main streets.

Maximize the frontage and orientation of the residence, so as to better enjoy the scenery of the park.

Part 5 Design principles

P r e s e n t a t i o n

Design principles ①Sustainable Community Building In architectural design, construction, and selection of building materials, consideration is given to the rational use and disposal of resources. To reduce the use of resources and strive to make them renewable. The exterior of the building should emphasize integration with the surrounding environment to create a pleasant community environment.

②Integrating indigenous knowledge into the design Apply indigenous knowledge to protect the health and well-being of indigenous communities, thereby protecting all communities.

③Density Done Right Some additional density will make public spaces vibrant and help provide monitoring while making the project financially sustainable. This site has the potential to support many families using convenient facilities such as train stations, supermarkets, retail, community hub buildings, and public open spaces. Scale, overlooking, and shading will be considered.

④Vibrant mixed use A more diverse architectural function and a lively and healthy retail space on the ground floor are key components in creating the venue. This is a great way to activate space, attract people, and create unforgettable and purposeful user experiences for local communities and tourists. The type and quality of new functions will be influenced by many factors, including architectural design, location, and direction

⑤Connecting residential areas and service facilities

1:1000

Reachability is very important for the convenience of local people and tourists.

The overall plan has created east-west and north-south pedestrian channels, and considered connecting Astley Park and Bennett Park to enable residents to carry out more activities, while comprehensively improving reachability.

⑥Active green space Parks can provide a relaxing space, reduce the impact of road traffic noise, and improve the air quality of urban residential areas. A green space with a sense of enclosure can promote social interaction and enhance community awareness.

1.

Construct a mixed function building (with a building area of 500 square meters) near the Pacific Highway, with a maximum height of 9 floors. Encourage the construction of landscape gardens in the remaining roof space. The height of other buildings shall not exceed 6 floors, and the spacing between buildings shall not be less than 6 meters. Encourage the construction of rooftop courtyards and provide public green spaces.

2.

The construction of the venue should fully consider the usage needs of the elderly and disabled. Considering people with crutches and wheelchairs, the road slope should be less than or equal to 2 °, and the width of the parking lot should be appropriately widened to 3.3 meters. Public spaces should have resting places for the elderly and disabled. Wheelchair space, handrails, and safety steps should be set up in various places.

3.

The crown of trees planted should provide shade. The rooftop courtyard is used as a public open space or activity, leisure, and fitness area for residents.

MASTER PLAN REVIEW

①Unreasonable height of main street ③Not adapting to population growth

④The park should be retained

⑥The theory is too general and not innovative enough

②The block is too large, and the consideration for the future development of the subway is not comprehensive enough.

⑤The seven story building should be retained
