- Geometry
- Long, low-slung single-story volumes with steep gabled or pitched dark roofs, punctuated by regular skylights and interspersed vertical openings.
- Facade system
- Stucco or rendered wall finish with punched windows, glass block accents, and a large multi-panel garage door.
- Structural guess
- Wood frame or masonry bearing walls with conventional pitched roof trusses.
- Spatial scale
- Single-family residential scale with 1/4 inch scale callouts.
- Lighting
- Flat rendered elevations with soft drop shadows cast by vegetation and roof overhangs.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, orderly technical presentation emphasizing horizontal datum and roof geometry.
- Environmental context
- Exterior site elevations featuring palm tree landscaping and raised grade lines.
- Spatial experience
- Drawings convey a horizontal domestic rhythm broken by vertical chimneys and palm trees at key thresholds.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating rhythm of roof skylights paired with irregular ground-level door and window placements.
