Architect's Renderings

Proposed Site

 

West Persepective (Updated 3.23.12)

  1. Broke up the plane of the facade by stepping back the pre-cast elements (white verticals).
  2. Pulled out the stairwells several feet to break the plane of the facade and the roof line.
  3. Added architectural elements to the roof itself to break up the plane.
  4. Created greater interest in the facade and reduced the institutional feel by adding windows in the stairwells and faux balconies at several dorm window locations.
  5. Combined, these to create a more interesting and more residential scale to the facade facing University Avenue.

 

University Ave. Perspective

  1. We reviewed the landscape plan and increased the size of several key trees at the building to create greater screening on day one.
  2. We also took the neighbors’ suggestion and redid the plantings closest to the street.
  3. We are creating a landscape berm on which the new plantings will be planted to create an attractive and immediate visual break from the street.
