a. — b. Architectural Concepts and Relationships <br />Building D: The proposed building addresses the corner of TIB and South 144th Street with <br />a strong corner element differentiated from the street - fronting facades. Entrances are at <br />building corners and "celebrated" with awnings and architectural emphasis. While much <br />larger than the off -site building immediately to the south, the building relates in scale to the <br />proposed adjacent residential buildings in the Phase 1 of Tukwila Village proposal to the <br />north and the eastern portion of Phase 2. The building is five stories of residential over one <br />story + a mezzanine and a basement of office /commercial and parking uses. Pedestrian - <br />oriented features are provided as potential artwork elements, awning protected entrances, <br />raised planter landscape features and changes in paving patterns. <br />Building E: The building addresses S. 144th Street with strong northeast and northwest <br />corner elements differentiated from the street - fronting facade. The entrance to the <br />residential building is at the northeast building corner and "celebrated" with awnings and <br />architectural elements. Entrances to the "townhouse" units on the east side of the building <br />are from the KCHA private driveway. Entrances to the commercial and Neighborhood <br />Police Resource Center are directly from the public sidewalk on S. 144th Street. While <br />much larger than the off -site KCHA building immediately to the east, the building relates in <br />scale to the proposed adjacent residential buildings in the Tukwila Village to the north and <br />west. The building is four stories residential over one story plus a mezzanine of commercial <br />and parking uses. Pedestrian - oriented features are provided as weather - protected <br />entrances, decorative and effective lighting on the ground level as well as more utilitarian <br />lighting over the garage entrances and on the concrete walls, on -grade landscape features <br />and changes in paving patterns. <br />The south side of the project, which abuts three adjacent properties, is the least attractive <br />side of the project. The Tukwila Village Building E will be softened with a 10 — 20 foot <br />deep planting bed with a variety of plant materials including two Western Red Cedars and <br />two Hinoki False Cypresses. The wall itself will have asymmetrical openings along the <br />length of the wall. (Sheet P3.8, Attachment A) <br />L13 -0044 — Tukwila Village Phase 2 Page 120 <br />24 <br />
