…did they design it in 1950 and just now build? Yikes.quincunx wrote:

put bars on a few of those windows and it will finish the look of an old police precinct building
Too plain imo.
It feels like a miracle to see a three family built. When was the last time that happened?

^That building's an extra large pizza with no toppings.

The problem with it seems to be the small windows and/or the wide gaps between windows. Maybe even that weird top.
Small design details matter. Just three more windows could have made a significant difference….chriss752 wrote: ↑Jun 01, 2022The problem with it seems to be the small windows and/or the wide gaps between windows. Maybe even that weird top.

I feel like they could also add some thoughtfully positioned anchor plates in there to break up the weirdness of the blank space in-between the windows too... as an easier fix?

^ true... honestly most people are just looking for Square Footage, and amenities. Charm is rarely ranked on people's need/want list... probably <1% of us, haha.
I would say larger windows would suffice. There may be reasons on the interior for not having more.
To me this looks like a building that was originally designed to have a cornice but someone decided it was cheaper to just not build it.

What is the address of the building above? I am trying to get my bearing as to where it's at in the Stinky D...

^^Exactly what I was thinking! Props to your Photoshopping there, @rbb .
She's a solid building and a great addition; a little detailing and makeup would go a long way here.

FYI we have a historic cmte in SD that reviews proposals to make recommendations to the SDCC board whether to express support or not to CRO/PB.
Props to @imran and @rbb for the mockups. Wow, what a difference these design changes make.

For me, it's the front windows being all the same size. If they switched it up, with a double window thrown in somewhere at the least, then it wouldn't look so bland. As it is, it's just a 4x3 grid and looks like an office building.
