The proposal revitalizes a three-tenant downtown retail façade through a refined brick composition that balances historic character with contemporary clarity. Articulated brick piers establish a strong vertical rhythm, while a continuous parapet and subtle cornice detailing reinforce the building’s horizontal coherence.
A widened corner block anchors the intersection without overpowering the streetscape, creating a confident yet context-sensitive presence. Recessed aluminum storefront systems introduce transparency and pedestrian engagement, contrasting the solidity of the masonry mass.
The design enhances the side alley with integrated lighting and a framed mural surface, extending the architectural language beyond the primary façade and contributing to a more active urban edge.
Together, these elements create a historically grounded yet modernized identity that complements the surrounding downtown fabric while remaining distinctly recognizable.
