Area definitions and family-home evidence

Area basis

Enclosed gross floor area (GFA): 45,856 sf
Nonparking residential gross: 45,856 sf
Gross apartment allocations: 41,827 sf
Open galleries, loggias and exterior stairs: 7,267 sf
Total modeled floor area, enclosed + open: 53,123 sf
Measured net sellable area: To be verified
Net sellable / residential-gross efficiency: To be verified

The enclosed total includes common cores and building services. Open space is listed separately. No parking floor area is modeled. Apartment allocations include internal partitions and are not measured net sellable area. Statutory GFA/FAR treatment remains subject to planning review.

What counts as a family home

A home must have at least two bedrooms and confirmed windows on opposing exterior fronts. Bedroom targets alone do not establish the count.

33 homes have a two-or-more-bedroom target. That target is not a verified family-home count.

Complete room plans for the current 12 upper allocations and 10 ground homes, plus a unit-by-unit window/aspect schedule confirming at least two bedrooms and opposing exterior fronts. The retained upper plans are allocation studies; several bedroom programs remain unfitted.

The architectural director’s revision gives the projecting bays a vertical frame, quiets the masonry between them and gives the entrances and chamfer loggias stronger definition. Deep flat windows and their projecting sills remain part of the composition.

What needed correction

The preceding version contained the requested bays, recessed windows and loggias, but repeated horizontal trim competed with the vertical bays. Broad, dark side glazing weakened the bay proportions, loggia depth was difficult to read, and the entrance portals were clipped in the model.

The director’s intervention

Frame bay glazing and use recessed masonry aprons to emphasize the vertical stacks.
Replace repeated floor stripes and miniature arches with a calmer wall and a stepped cornice.
Give entrances complete portals and make the loggia returns, soffits and back wall read as a true recess.
Correct bay side-glass materials and coordinate trim with every opening.

Unchanged upper allocation plan with two 10 by 5 foot private chamfer loggias — Upper allocation plan retained from F8. Gold = loggias; rust = bays; teal = recessed flat windows. Upper rooms remain unfitted.

Plan and area coordination

The two chamfers retain their 10 × 5 ft loggias on floors 2–4. Their combined 300 sf remains excluded from enclosed apartment area. The north corner home has approximately 1,055 sf enclosed and the south corner home 762 sf, each plus a 50-sf loggia.

F7 window positions, the restored ground-floor living-room windows, entrances, cores and ground-floor room plan are retained. Flat street windows remain recessed 10 inches and bays project 2 ft 6 in. These are concept dimensions.
