The Northlake community and commercial hub, containing Monkey Farm restaurant along with Pinnacles Early Learning Centre, is located a short distance from the site. The site is located in close proximity to the Clutha River and associated cycling and walking tracks.

QLDC Web Map Context: existing & proposed site access & networks. The site area is defined by Outlet Road to the north-eastern side and a rising landform to the south-west which boarders with Activity Area E1. The main entry is proposed in the centre of the development from Outlet Road with an exit only pathway running onto Lindis Road. This entry point guides visitors correctly through the site and means that the development does not become a vehicular thoroughfare with vehicles entering from Lindis Road. At a small scale, the development site is close to the integrated walkways / cycleways that run through the heart of the Structure Plan, allowing further connection and sense of community.

Context: recent nearby development. The Northlake development is predominantly residential with the exception of the local community village hub. The village hub is characterised by larger scale buildings. Existing buildings feature simple gable forms and clad in natural and earth-toned materials.

Concept: project opportunities. The project presents several opportunities to enhance the visual and social aspects of the surrounding area. • Provide positive urban and architectural outcomes. • Enhance established architectural character. • Complement local material palette and design vernacular. • Provide intergenerational interactions within the community. • Provide views to natural outlook. • Encourage cycle travel.

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: care home, active recreation centre, & entrance building design narrative. The Care-pod facility has been designed in such a way to reduce its bulk with the introduction of dormers and balcony spaces which also develop a consistency in language within the proposed development and Northlake. Parking for the development is located centrally within the northern end of the development. This is flanked by densely planted areas and residential units fronting Outlet Road which aid in concealing them from the perspective of passers-by. The Amenity, Clubhouse and Main Entry buildings are single level gable forms with breaks in the ridge line to reduce overall length & massing, which also helps to inform entry / exit points. These have been sited toward the southern boundary which allows a large landscaped outdoor space to the north and provides space for an access road behind for staff and deliveries.

Concept: residential apartment unit design narrative. Residential units have been developed to adhere to the local design aesthetic and where possible the use of gable roof forms are used. Separating gables into two separate forms allows for a reduction in building height, develops a sense of scale consistent with the residential portion of Northlake and helps to distinguish multiple tenancies.

Concept: precedent imagery. Northbrook Wanaka Retirement Village Resource Consent Design Statement March 2021 27
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. Northbrook Wanaka Retirement Village Resource Consent Design Statement March 2021 28
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.
