Side Elevation - Example #2 ...

Another example of a single family residence that had a lively front facade and a dead, private side elevation on a narrow lot in an old subdivision.

Does the side really matter in this case? ... of course it does !



AS PROPOSED BY
THE ARCHITECT...
(would the Architect be proud to hang this elevation on the wall of his office?)


AS SUGGESTED BY
THE URBAN DESIGNER...


Using elements from the design of the other parts of the building, and with minor planar variations, the design is balanced and enlivened.
