6.42 Where compatibility with traditional buildings is
important, such as Downtown, articulate a building
into modules that relate to the traditional building
form and scale.
a. Consider the height and width of existing neighboring
structures.
b. Design floor-to-floor heights to reflect the traditional
sense of scale and floor heights in Healdsburg.

Step back a larger building mass
from the street to reduce looming
effects.

Figure 6.19: A combination of
vertical and horizontal articulation
methods express a human scale. Design the first floor height to be taller than any upper floors and to
appear similar in dimension to those seen traditionally.

Articulating walls with architectural
details, and window moldings help
achieve a sense of human scale in
this industrial context.
