Street Frontage
Building entrances, the foreground of their lots, and their pedestrian zone on the street are tuned to T-Zones. Each zone has immersive wholeness and elements of frontage sustain the specific setting along the transect: frontages of Center are fully different from frontages of Edge.
- PUBLIC FRONTAGE: pedestrian, landscaped layer on each side of the public R.O.W, accommodating on-street parking and selected utilities, employ established types for each zone.
- PRIVATE FRONTAGE: secured domain at the lot front, made up of entry access and front door, landscape or hardscape, building façade – spatial configuration and building attributes complementing neighbors and identity of the street.
- LEGACY: frontages best serve the townscape and vital local culture when based on traditions of established vernacular, fostering citizens’ loyalty and desire for community.
- STREET SPACE: best designed with understanding of spatial and geometric terms – shaping terminated and oblique vistas, tree canopy, robust frontages, and cues for pedestrian safety.
- CONTIGUOUS SPACE: public and private places – plaza, park, square, terrace – essential to town commerce and sociability.
