FOUNDATION: All buildings sit on a foundation. The way in which that is visually expressed is a design feature which can affect compatibility.
RECOMMENDED
- New construction should reflect the prevailing sense of foundation height on contiguous historic buildings.
NOT RECOMMENDED
- Avoid high walk-ups if surrounding buildings are cottages raised only two or three steps off the ground.
- Avoid designs which appear to hug the ground if surrounding buildings are raised on high foundations.
