Alternative proposal
After the discussion here: what if we combine them? The material and balconies of C, with the storey arrangement and set-back top storey of B. I’m calling it proposal D. There’s no image of it yet, but tell me if the direction is right.

Professional input
About the storeys: the neighbouring buildings have three storeys above the ground floor, plus an attic. Proposal C has four storeys above a shorter ground floor, so the window lines don’t meet, and the facade rises a little above the eaves. That can be solved without losing the balconies, for example with the storey arrangement from B.

Question
On proposal C: the facade rises to full height right at the street edge, a little above the eaves of my building. Will the pavement get darker? I live in the red building next door and would like to know before anything is decided.

Idea
My first proposal! I’m not an architect, but I’ve lived in this street for fourteen years. I chose warm colours and recessed balconies, and wrote that I’d like a café or a shop at street level. Let me know what you think.

Idea
I made proposal B in pale stone, with the same number of storeys as the neighbouring buildings and small balconies set into deep recesses.

Idea
As an opening sketch, I’ve made proposal A: a brick building with two tall storeys and a set-back top storey. It’s meant to be criticised and improved, not taken as a final answer.

Project
We’re planning a new building on the site between the buildings, with flats above and commercial space on the ground floor. Before the design is settled, we’d like to see more ideas and hear from those of you who live and pass through here. Our question is: how should the new building meet the street and its neighbours?
