Building and Use
The proposed development is the alteration and improvement of the existing urban
residential building on the location. The building is primarily a residence with all of the major
expected amenities for such a structure. The existing building has a carport, access to amenities

proposed alterations shall improve the building’s capacity to host people, improve the property’s
aesthetics, and leave a suitable amount of open space.

The Proposal
The proposed development shall involve a few alterations to the existing structures and
new constructions. First, the first floor of the existing house shall be extended to add a new
bedroom and an accompanying bathroom. This construction will not increase the height of the
building beyond the current height (Urban Style Design Pty Ltd, 2018).
Next, the existing carport shall be demolished to make room for the garage and loft. The
loft will be detached from the main building by about 33.5 feet (Urban Styles Design Pty Ltd,
2018). The loft will be constructed above the garage space leaving the garage as an open but
covered parking area. As a result, the studio shall be on the first floor level of the existing
building. In the studio, there shall be a living space, bed space and a bathroom. A staircase shall
be constructed floor the garage floor to provide access to the studio (Urban Style Design Pty Ltd,
2018).
Next, new and modified lighting and landscaping on the remaining open space shall be
done. Soft landscaping shall be done to the remaining open space between the studio and the
house building. Skylights shall be installed in selected locations to light up the compound. The
vegetable garden located in the current open space shall be done away with to create space for
the structures and landscaped open space (Mavridis, 2018). The site shall be connected to the
preexisting water, electricity and sewerage amenities.
