Where heritage meets contemporary accommodation and retail.

Premium tourist accommodation in the heart of Hahndorf, South Australia.

Flex Planning has worked closely with our client and Fore Design to gain approvals for a new accommodation option for visitors to the Adelaide Hills, working to fill a long-established gap in the market.

The development features 29 premium accommodation units and two street-facing retail tenancies designed to complement Hahndorf’s established character. The design maximises the use and functionality of the site while maintaining a balance with the State Heritage requirements of the town, which guided the form, heights, material selection and transition between the street-facing tenancies and the remainder of the development behind.

Developing this unique site required a collaborative approach between Council, State Heritage, and Fore Design to ensure the objectives of all parties were met. The final design achieves a careful balance between managing the risks associated with the watercourse and floodplain at the rear of the site, addressing State Heritage considerations, integrating with the existing streetscape, meeting on-site parking requirements, and ensuring efficient traffic flow to and from the site.

Planning Considerations:
State Heritage, Scale and Design, Storm Water and Waste Water, Access & Traffic Generation, Accessible Carparking and Access.
