ABC4500–4514 S. Indiana · 4 stories · current model envelopeFacade materials and window rhythm are preliminary; no area or cost changes applied.

Open side-by-side facade comparison ↗

F2 · selected elevation

A · 45th Street frontage

60.0 ft retained frontage4 × 10 ft story assumption · ornament stays within envelope

Paired windows create a calmer bay rhythm. Dark reveals, slim mullions and pale sills provide depth. Openings remain a design proposal requiring room, structure, energy and fire review.

F2 · entrance material detail

Courtyard home threshold

A3 ft concept opening · 7.2 ft illustrative door heightNo new street entrance or vestibule area added

This detail treats existing concept home entries at 4200/4500 and the drawn upper-home entries at Evans. Evans ground access remains the separate EV-G1 study. Hardware, approach grades and accessible maneuvering clearances are unresolved.

Roman-brick proportions, crisp terracotta bands, relieving-arch brick patterns and original vine-inspired metalwork at the existing loggias. Window bays illustrate facade intent; this study has no approved opening schedule. Blank party lines remain blank. Existing footprints, stories, homes and financial inputs are retained; facade premiums require pricing. Courtyard furniture and a 12-ft ornamental tree are shown at study scale only after a 10-ft object zone clears saved building/stair footprints; accessible routes, utilities and landscape costs require coordination.

A contemporary interpretation informed by Mecca Flats, honoring its Bronzeville Black community and displacement history. Decorative motifs do not add an atrium or change access galleries. Historical context ↗
