Title: 121 Kingsley West for Design Review Board - A proposal to construct two residential buildings to the west and south of the existing two-story building at 111 W. Kingsley. The new East Building, which is accessed off the public alley, will have four condominium units in two stories above an enclosed parking garage. The new West Building, at the corner of Kingsley and Ashley, will have 14 condominium units in four stories over enclosed parking. The two buildings will be connected by a plaza in the middle of the site. The buildings are designed to incorporate cantilevered living and stairway elements of varying color and contrast to help define the building module variation recommended by the Downtown Design Guidelines. Another characteristic of the buildings is extensive use of glass to provide as much natural light as feasible and from as many directions as possible. Balconies and recessed open living spaces also are provided.
