Exterior street-level perspective rendering of a multi-story mixed-use
A street-level architectural rendering of a mixed-use multi-family building by FitzGerald Associates Architects, demonstrating how vertical metal corner detailing and brick volumes articulate an urban corner.
- What we like about this project
- A sculptural vertical metal relief element breaks the uniformity of the primary brick elevation.

- Geometry
- An angled five-story massing featuring a prominent corner element clad in vertical metal panels, flanked by darker brick wings and stepped upper levels.
- Facade system
- Combination of brick masonry veneer, vertical metal panels, and storefront glazing systems.
- Structural guess
- Podium construction with concrete ground level and wood-frame upper stories.
- Spatial scale
- Five stories tall, establishing a pedestrian-scaled retail base with multi-family residential floors above.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight from the upper right, casting soft shadows across the facade geometry and street.
- Atmosphere
- Lively and welcoming, highlighted by active street life and clean architectural materiality.
- Environmental context
- Urban intersection with pedestrian crosswalks, street trees, and contemporary mixed-use street fabric.
- Spatial experience
- The active ground floor storefronts directly engage the street edge, creating a permeable pedestrian interface beneath upper-level residential volumes.
- Composition rhythm
- Regular grid of punched windows balanced by the dynamic vertical seams of the corner metal volume.
