I think most likely my potential project will be going vertical (but things can always change). As I have noted in one of previous posts, I think there are multiple potential benefits to addressing roof design on existing structures. No real identifiable mutualism to speak of beyond additive roof features, overhanging on all sides to protect the building below. There is potential for structure to be added from the building above down the exterior between the windows and doors. However the Frieze at the top of the buildings could pose some issues to navigate around. It should be noted my intent is to maintain the features of the existing buildings I study as much as possible, not altering them too much with proposed mutual partners.

Hello there Wazza,
ReplyDeleteI grew up in a city where revitalization of heritage buildings is a huge deal. That city is the beautiful Nelson, BC. The city's design slogan is actually "keeping it real". Pretty amazing little city. Here's a link to the city's design plans and requirements. It might give you some ideas to work with. Good work thus far.

Nelson - the perfect location for a project like mine. I especially am interested in the amount of stonework in the Downtown core there.
ReplyDeleteI will be thinking about how their design guidelines might help me out.
Thanks for the help,
