Building Articulation Options
1. Height Variation
A height variation is an actual reduction in the
vertical scale of a building of at least one floor.
(Note that it is not the intent of this variation
method to require multiple elevators.)
2. Increased Setbacks
An increased setback is similar to a minor wall
offset, but with a larger dimension. It is established
by providing a larger setback on a portion of a wall
for its full height
3. Accent Lines
Accent lines include vertical and horizontal
expression lines on a building wall. An accent line
often projects slightly from the face of a building
wall.
Examples include:
• Moldings
• Sills
• Cornices
• Canopies
• Spandrels
4. Color Changes
Color changes include significant vertical or
horizontal changes (15’-30’ min.) in color on a
building wall.
