ARB delays decision on large two-story addition at 2610 E. Broad, asks for scaled drawings
Summary
Design review for a two-story addition at 2610 East Broad was tabled to March 12 after board members criticized the design's massing, roofline and material choices and asked the applicant to lower part of the new volume and provide clearer renderings and dimensions.
Applicant Nick Kenny presented concept designs Feb. 12 for a two-story addition on a corner lot at 2610 East Broad. Board members praised some ideas but raised consistent concerns about the addition's perceived bulk, roof treatment and relationship to the existing house.
Members urged the applicant to lower the addition so it reads as subordinate to the existing eave line, provide a clearer connector link or step the massing, and refine material choices so the new volume does not read as a set of "shipping containers." The board suggested additional study of window proportions, parapet height, downspout and roof details and requested renderings that match labeled elevations. Given the number of unresolved design details and late arrival of supplemental materials, the board voted to table the application to March 12 so the applicant can return with revised drawings.
