Section H: Building Type Character and Quality architecturally express this on the ground floor. If the building includes a main entry, it should face the main street or access area and be used to express the building's use. Some buildings may include an office loft accessed from inside the main work space which could be expressed architecturally. The roofs of marine industrial buildings may explore using a monitor roof system similar to historic industrial and waterfront buildings. These provide light into the deep bays and can also provide ventilation. Details must express the craftsmanship of maritime industry through well-designed structural connections such as turnbuckles and steel bolts. Where possible, consider revealing major structural connections and using them to express the industrial nature of the architecture. Unlike the other building types in this district, this building type is more robust and can use a less refined aesthetic of nautical based detailing. Materials-Exteriors of marine light industrial buildings will be constructed of materials durable enough for both their use and the climate. Materials should distinguish this building type from the others in the Craftsman District with more industrial steel (painted or galvanized), masonry ground face block, or concrete.

Designers z51 are encouraged to draw inspiration from maritime forms and boat like nautical details. Key design components include the following: These buildings will be experienced on the pedestrian level and design should be appealing with rich ground plane details and possibly with the integration of maritime based artwork. Since the buildings will act as pedestrian portals to the Esplanade, they should pronounce this connection by a canopy, lighting, or possibly a flag pole inspired from a sailboat mast. Siding could be designed to emphasize horizontal lines, much like wooden boat hulls. Windows in the shower and bathroom facilities, must have obscured glass. Back lit glass block, fritted, or colored translucent glass could act as a beacon at night. These windows could also use the narrow dimensioned steel mullions and grid frames as suggested for the marina retail buildings. Top treatments of marine service buildings can be relatively simple without a lot of decorative detailing. Exposed pitched roofs, if used, can include eaves that could create a prominent edge. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines - 102 -
