sELECtED tERMinOLOGY
Building Entries at street level from are required on all Facades which front onto streets
Alley Entries should be narrowed with a low fence, wall or planting. Thus indicating their semi-private nature.
the Main Body facades should be organized in a rhythmic manner . Bay windows and balconies should be placed at choherent intervals providing variety and interest along the street frontage.
Mid Block Break / Gates should be placed in the center or symmetrically mirrored off the center of a block as shown in Block Type B.
Corners should be articulated and address both street edges which they front onto. This can be achieved by providing an entrance on the side facade at street level.Fenestration, balconies, bay windows and porches are encouraged on side facades to articulate the corner.
BLOCK tYPE A shows where the side elevation of a Corner 3-4 storey Townhouse and the front elevation of a Corner are mirrored at both ends of the block while the Main Body is broken with an Alley Entry.Due to the similar treatment of both Corners,the reading is of a whole block.
BLOCK tYPE B features a symmetrical massing in which identical Main Body and Corner townhouses are mirrored about the center of the block.
BLOCK tYPE A & B adjacent to each other read as a coherent street facade due to their similar massing and massing treatment.
