Presentation Documents for the Urban Design Panel, April 28, 2004

Busby and Associates Architects have continued to develop the design of the project in response to the need to be in context with the historical buildings of Mt Pleasant and the mixed reviews of the building. The appearance the residential block, the colour of the brick and, as they had always intended, adding a fine layer of detail to the treatment of the walls have all been updated below. For plans and all other drawings and reports please scroll down to the Design Documents for the Development Permit Application below.
