<br />Development Design Standards <br /> <br />integrating corporate/tenant identity elements. Walls 01 brick or concrete block can be highlighted <br />with accents 01 contrasting color and/or rough texture. Buiiding entry areas should be enhanced <br />with such features as canopies, timber pergolas and natural or cultured stone wainscot. <br />Increased transparency along public walkways is encouraged. Storefront frame color and glass, <br />like all other building materials, will come from a pa!ette common to the development. <br /> <br />MASSING AND SCALE <br />Make the base of the structure strong to express solidity and mass and to protect the building <br />from weather. <br />Make the base 01 the building. especially entry areas prominent and visible by raising it and <br />creating color and texture that matches the surrounding landscape. <br />Foundations ~ usua!ly of masonry: often flared downward. <br />. Visual planes ~ angular; usually orthogonal; very rarely rounded or curved. <br /> <br />STRUCTURE <br />Expose and celebrate structural elements such as brackets, trusses, and vaulted ceilings in <br />public areas 01 buildings. <br />Make vertical structure oversized to convey a sense of permanence and to appear massive <br />enough to support the snow loads. <br />Posts and columns _ usually heavy in appearance: always with right~angled corners; often <br />ftared downward; often of mixed materials with natura! or dressed stone or concrete under. <br /> <br />MATERIALS <br />Use rock, stone, and other natural materials that harmonize with the surrounding landscape. <br />Ashlar or cut stone and larger blocks or slabs are appropriate. <br />Use manufactured stone and siding products if selected and installed with care. <br />Craftsmanship, good-quality materials, and a high level 01 detailing are expected. <br />Create a hierarchy af materials for a balanced composition rather than mixing and matching <br />materials. <br /> <br />COLOR <br />Choose colors that reftect local geology, vegetation, and culture, taking cues from earth <br />tones, including rock, leaves, birch bark, and so forth. Darker colors predominate in the color <br />scheme. <br />Make color contrasts subtle. <br />Use muted colors while incorporating corporate I tenant identity <br />. Use materials that weather naturally to attractive colors and tones. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />ELK RIDGE CENTER <br />
