Small Scale
A contemporary multi-family residential exterior precedent by Andmore Partners, inc., showcasing a balance of crisp white stucco, dark cladding, and warm wood soffit lighting along the street edge.
- What we like about this project
- The glowing wood soffit frames contrast sharply with the austere white and dark masses of the lower volumes.

- twilight-lighting
- Geometry
- Asymmetrical two-story rectilinear massing with cantilevered upper balconies, recessed entries, and vertically proportioned punched windows.
- Facade system
- Smooth white stucco finish combined with dark flat panels and warm wood-clad reveals.
- Structural guess
- Wood-frame construction with cantilevered upper floor assemblies.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story residential scale, fitting contextually into a lower-rise neighborhood fabric.
- Lighting
- Twilight sky with artificial warm interior lighting glowing through large windows and soffit downlights, contrasted by a bright corner streetlamp.
- Atmosphere
- Inviting and warm evening glow projecting from a clean, contemporary envelope onto the public sidewalk.
- Environmental context
- Suburban or urban residential street edge with sidewalk, mature tree canopy foreground, and neighboring single-story houses visible in the distance.
- Spatial experience
- Approaching from the street sidewalk past drought-tolerant landscaping leads to a recessed ground-floor entry sequence.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal banding at rooflines and balconies paired with vertical window slots and wood accent panels.
