Large Footprint Buildings (Multi-Story)

These types of buildings often require a higher design quality because of the need to attract multiple tenants or are institutional uses and, because of their large sizes, they have a major presence within the visual environment. Just like multi-story, regular footprint buildings, upgraded entrances and special architectural features such as multi-story atriums and glass enclosed stairways open

to view from the exterior can add to the overall visual richness of the building. Also, because of their commanding presence, there is an opportunity to create more variation using façade treatments in one area that differs from other areas of the façade. This can create a building that feels more like a clustering of different but compatible buildings rather than one, large single design expression.
