Townhouse entrance street view

Six foot deep entrance creates

traditional and comfortable areaway
transition between private residence
and public domain;

Translucent residential entry

doors provide light and privacy,
and appropriately differentiates
private entrance from the apartment
building;

Emphasis on detail at residential

entries: sculptural quality of
concrete elements, residential
entry components (lighting, gates)
and rich texture of concrete and
brickwork;

Subtle colour variation between

brick and concrete elements
identifies the base of the apartment
building.

Part street view of front elevation

Stronger articulation and detail to

the window openings clarify the
residential character of the building;

Expressed precast lintel and mullion

reinforce the residential proportions
of openings and establish a
connection to the base and cornice;

Distinct traditional expression of

base, transitional second story,
typical floors and attic story;

Simplified brick panels, string

course and cornice divisions give
ordering to facade composition.
