Here's a photo of a sign on a new development in the Ivanhoe shopping strip:
And a closeup so you can read some of it:
The residences will be discretely set behind a facade.
The Australian Macquarie Dictionary defines discrete as
adjective 1. detached from others; separate; distinct 2. consisting of or characterised by distinct or individual parts; discontinuous.
Given that it's a multi-storey development, it's amusing to visualise a series of disconnected residences. Sounds as if it will have to defy gravity. Maybe a development for the twenty-second century?
Did the writer perhaps mean the development will be discreetly set behind a facade of shops at ground level?
