The building is a four-bedroom 2 storey Duplex with a double garage, ensuite to main bedroom, and in-ground swimming pool. The Duplex will have two blocks of crystal like buildings crafted in accordance to the outline of the site. The general outlook of the building will be dynamic and modern. The house will have 4-tiers of double pitch dynamic soaring roof form with a glass facade supported by steel columns and long span steel roof trusses. The steel columns will be square. The building is oriented to face the beach, and people passing by will marvel at it. It will have a huge dining room, interior of which will feature a timber wall with blue colored LED lights. The lights in the dining room will create serene atmosphere of the ocean and create an impression of sitting by t
...he beach while eating. Since the building is located near the ocean, it will also feature an exotic kitchen full of seafood. It will give a completely new experience of dining at the beach. Given that the kitchen area is small, it will have a small round table with two chairs. The dining room is larger than the kitchen and can, therefore, accommodate many guests. The roof will be a dynamic one fitted with horizontal aerofoil sun louvers. The building will also have open wooden staircases, a rooftop sundeck to watch the ocean, and a spacious balcony on its top. The balcony will create an atmosphere of relaxation and serene ambiance for those who are tired and want to relax.The text describes a unique dinner experience overlooking the ocean, with a small bar beside the living room
for drinks. Palm trees will be planted along the pathway from the house to the seaside, which will be well lit with lanterns for evening walks. The master bedroom will be larger and painted in blue, with one wall depicting a beach scenery for a relaxing effect. The double garage will be made of wood with a gravel floor. The round in-ground swimming pool will further enhance the feeling of being near the ocean. This house will be a perfect holiday destination for relaxation after long working days. The ambience of the building will be marvelous. Australian Standards consist of over 5750 standards developed by technical committees with around 8500 members.

Volume 1 covers Class 2 to Class 9 Buildings and includes sections such as General Provisions, Structure, Fire Resistance, Access and Egress, Service and Equipment, Health and Amenity, Ancillary provisions, Special Use Buildings, Maintenance, and Energy Efficiency. Volume 2 covers Class 1 to
Class 10 Buildings, focusing on housing provisions and consists of General Requirements, Performance Provisions, and Acceptable Construction. Both volumes have subsections and clauses for further classification, and state and territory variations are specified in each section. In the Australian Capital Territory, building and building related works are regulated by the Building Act of 2004.The building will be subject to various regulations and legislation, which encompass building approvals, building commencement notices, carrying out and completion of building works, offences, stop and demolition notices, certification of occupancy, and other certificates. Additionally, there are statutory warranties, insurance and fidelity certificates, appointment of auditors and actuaries for approved schemes, appointment of building inspectors, approval of building code and recognized standards, limitation of liability, notification and review of decisions. Alongside these, miscellaneous guidelines like sustainability guidelines, services of notices, recovery of cost of works by inspector, evidentiary certificates, and legal liability also apply.These are the additional legislations, regulations, codes, and standards related to various aspects of construction and development:
(1) ACT Planning and Land Authority under Construction Occupations (Licensing) Act 2004 for construction occupations.
(2) ACT Planning and Land Authority under Electricity Safety Act 1971 and Gas Safety Act 2000.

Additionally, the municipal council handles fire protection requirements. Pertinent legislation includes the Building Act 1993 and Building Regulations 2006. Australia prides itself on having one of the world's best legislation, regulations, standards, and building codes. These standards are upheld by the commonwealth, state, and territory administrations. Authorities in Australia ensure strict adherence to these standards in order to achieve and maintain a "uniform set of
technical provisions, acceptable standards of structural sufficiency, safety, health, and amenity" (CIV/DIPBC 2010).The territorial provisions that are additional in nature are often nondescript and indicative. They serve as guidance and do not replace the Commonwealth Provisions.
