Design Elements:
|
| Facade Composition |
 |
A distinct base, middle and top creates a well ordered facade. |
 |
Modulation of the facade relating to the unit layout and inset balcony positioning work to create a good vertical composition that relates to the urban context. |
 |
Overall massing and building forms relate to the context. |
| Depth |
 |
Windows are set into the surrounding masonry and metal cladding by depths of 3" or greater to avoid a flat appearance of facade. |
 |
Wall articulation and material depth is well defined. |
 |
Architectural quality metals meet other surfaces on inside corners, creating depth to the facade. |
| Entrances |
 |
The entrance is well defined. |
 |
An overhang or cover protects the entrance. |
| Balconies |
 |
Balconies should attempt to be incorporated or inclusive to building elements/facades, not simply attached to the exterior |
 |
High quality materials should also be used in the balcony construction. |
