There is a strong sense of form, bridging pathways and cantilevering in Nicolas Schuybroek's work. 
Here are the basic elements in my design (final design coming soon)

Site Analysis


Site Analysis
The location of the site is situated on 5 Wyargine St, Mosman. The site is within 60m of the coastline, has a floor ratio of 1:50 (Mosman LEP) and comes to a total of 713m square. It has a minimal tree density with the maximum residential height of 8.5m. 


Planning Controls

P1. For all residential zoned land to which a maximum building height of 8.5 metres applies under the LEP, the following also applies:

a)     a maximum wall height of 7.2m;
b)    a maximum of two storey’s. Council may allow an additional storey in attic roof space of existing and new buildings, or in the foundation space of existing buildings, provided that the building height and bulk is of an appropriate form and scale.


Building setback

Setbacks define the overall footprint of a building and the outer extremities of that building in relation to the front, side and rear boundaries.


View sharing

Public views and vistas occur along streets that focus on water and distant headlands. In sloping areas, views from public streets and between buildings on the low side of streets enhance the Mosman identity and provide views of landmark features and adjacent landscapes.
