Architecture

Side‑by‑side massing diagrams compare a proposed building design and a recommended alternative from the Langston Boulevard Area Plan. Both diagrams show a building footprint along Langston Boulevard with stepped heights ranging from four to seven stories. The proposed building design includes a courtyard, irregular building edges, and varied setbacks, with height labels such as ‘Top of 4 stories,’ ‘Top of 5 stories,’ ‘Top of 6 stories,’ and ‘Top of 7 stories.’ The alternative design from the Langston Boulevard Area Plan on the right shows a more uniform, simplified building form with consistent step‑backs moving upward from four to seven stories. Streets, property boundaries, and setback distances are illustrated around both designs.​

Above: A side‑by‑side comparison of a massing diagram of the proposed building design and a massing diagram of a recommended alternative design from the Langston Boulevard Area Plan.

Under the image of the building and path is text that reads "View from Custis Trail."
