                                            Mass and Scale


                                            This section addresses the mass and scale of additions relative to the existing
                                            historic structure. The mass and scale of additions should minimize visual
                                            impacts to the historic structure and remain visually subordinate to the
                                            original structure.


                                            3.4    Design an addition to respect the mass and scale of the

        massing than the historic building so the historic
        building remains visually prominent. (Denver, CO)  a. Design the massing of an addition to appear subordinate to the
                                                      historic building.
                             Addition              b. Design an addition to be equal to or simpler in massing than the
                                                      historic building so the historic building remains visually
                                                      prominent.

                                                   c. Scale a rooftop addition to ensure the historic structure remains
                                                      visually prominent.
                                                   d. Consider using a lower-scale connecting element to separate an
                                                      addition from the historic structure.
                                                   e. Match the foundation and floor heights of an addition to those of

        scale of the original historic structure. The
        addition above is appropriately scaled and
        located, and has minimal impact on the structure
        and adjacent historic buildings. (Denver, CO)
