Height and Massing
1 The building is NOT an urban form represented by only one rectangular block.
2 Height variations create human scale.
3 Massing is broken down into smaller volumes to minimize visual dominance.
4 Facades articulate vertical and horizontal intervals and do not resemble simple box
forms,
5 Recessing and projecting design elements avoid flat and monotonous facades.
0
6 Major wall offsets carve the building form to create opportunities for amenity spaces or
pronounced entry ways.
7 Building step -backs to add visual interest and human scale.

Articulations
8 Top articulations emphasize a distinctive profile (projecting Parapets,, upper -level
step -backs, height variation, variety of roofline, etc.).
9 Skyline is defined by a variation of roofline projection planes that break up long lines
and add visual interest and design elements (trellis, green roof, etc).
10 Middle articulation (materials, color, balconies, windows, step -backs) to
differenciate from top and ground articulations.
11 Fenestrations (doors, windows, skylines) are cohesive and complement the building.
12 Ground articulation (variety of materials, fenestrations, architectural elements, etc).
13 The faqades include movement, diverse balconies, and architectural breaks along
large expanses of walls.
14 Windows and glazed areas provide a sense of balance and scale.
