SITE CONTEXT

The structure itself is very close to the property lines, meaning it is butted on three sides up to the street. There are two existing entrances on the west facade. Trees on the south of the building will block direct sunlight from entering, keeping the building cool during the summer months. Ample sidewalk access will allow for bike traffic, meaning bike racks will need to be provided.

SITE VISUALS

The site is surrounded on all sides by existing structures. Most of these structures are homes, with a senior living space located across Vermont Ave. Windows on all sides of the building mean plenty of natural light will filter in throughout the day.

The parking lot, with residential homes visible in the background. Here, the small parking lot is apparent, hence the need for bike racks.
