Section H: Building Type Character and Quality use should follow the guidelines of predominant use. Located in the Craftsman District, these buildings will have office uses that will most likely be related to maritime activities. As such, they should reflect the maritime character through maritime inspired forms and materials, and through nautical inspired details. Key design components include the following: Office main entries should be located on the ground floor and face the main street, access area, or prominent corner. Design should emphasize the entry and use it to express the aesthetic quality of the Craftsman District through maritime inspired forms and materials. Windows should create a strong rhythm that is related to the interior layout of offices. Window character could draw on historic water-front industrial buildings that used larger expanses of glazing with grid frames and narrow mullions. Top treatments of marine office buildings can be relatively simple, but should have a distinct visual termination through a change of material, pattern, color, or form. The goal is to create a visually strong but well-designed terminus that fits with the architectural design of the office building. Details for the marine office buildings should relate to the maritime aesthetic, express materials and their connections, and also express the nature of the business activity. Because this is the Craftsman District, detailing that shows the connection of structure and materials should be revealed and well designed.
