Design Narrative
COHESIVE DESIGN
The concept of the design is to complement the existing buildings on the site in design
and scale. To do this we have selected materials and massing that present compatible
design concepts. The materials proposed work well together and help reinforce the
massing concept of the different portions of the building. These massing elements
highlight the entry points and delineate the main entry point for the public to use.
BUILDING SCALE
The design of the building provides elements that mitigate the height of the certain
portions of the building while allowing other building elements to extend the height of
the building. This provides visual interest along with the comfort of knowing where to
enter the building. The materials chosen have small details that provide human scale
when up close.
BUILDING FORM
The design allows the elements to complement each other and together form the entire
building.
ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS / MATERIALS
The architectural features of this building are CMU and metal roofing that match and
complement the other existing building on site.
SIGNAGE AND LIGHTING
The building signage is limited to a indicating the location of the toilet room entrances.
