Woodspring Suites Public Hearing Design Review (L15 -0042) <br />April 28, 2016 <br />Page 14 <br />The project meets the design criteria. The fagades include notable elements of modulation, a distinct base <br />and top, and variation in the roofline. The building is L- shaped to enhance views of the river from the building <br />interior (see Attachment C). <br />2. Entrances and Doors <br />The primary entrance should be located and designed to represent the overall style and architectural character <br />of the building and ensure a welcoming public face to the building. <br />The project meets the design criteria. The primary entrance on the eastern side of the building has high <br />visibility in terms of building articulation, building and roofline modulation, and use of color. (Figure 7). A <br />secondary pedestrian- oriented public entrance is located on the west side of the building to provide access to <br />a walkway providing views of the wetland buffer area and the Green River (Figure 8). Brick veneer is used <br />through the entire first story within the entrance area, consistent with the fagade treatment on the front of <br />the building. The southern and eastern fagades feature additional keyed entrances for hotel guests that are <br />visually consistent with the other entrances but more discrete. The lighter wood color is used in these areas of <br />the building, helping to architecturally relate the side entrances to the design of the front entry. <br />Figure 7.
