reDESIGN - Case Study #2

AS SUGGESTED BY

THE URBAN DESIGNER ...


What's wrong with the design above this one ?
You see them everywhere...

Details add life and interest to an elevation. Similarity of elements add unity. Adding the two bays on the upper floor give relief to the plane of the wall. The window layout is more traditional, two windows separated by a column. Having two garage doors scales down the impact of the automobile on the elevation. Having a French door and matching sidelights brightens the entry. The entry column should never be a mere 4 x 4, so adding base and capital gives a traditional feel.
