These are my frankestein building design ideas, for the new design project. For the all of the designs they would have a balcony at the rear with access to the garden, as well as a possible seperate studio for the owner of the apartment above the store.
This design would be inkeeping with the original layout of the existing building next to it, but the windows and doors would be slightly bigger and more modern.
The whole front face of the second design would be glass, with protruding bricks that would show where each floor would be, either use of bricks or wooden panels, which makes this approach a more modernised one, that stands out from its surroundings, but I would try and use similar coloured materials as well as keeping the same floor height.
Third design is coming away from in keeping with the rest of its surroundings, as i have proposed a wooden facade that are automated and able to turn to allow or restrict light from entering the building.
