The site between the buildings

Proposal B · AI-generated, fictional place

Pale stone and deep recesses

Both the place and the image are AI-generated, and the image was made in advance. Sara and what they wrote are invented for the walkthrough.

What the image shows

• Pale stone in large panels, set in a deep grid of vertical piers and horizontal bands.
• Three storeys with French doors and small balconies set into deep recesses, five bays across.
• A ground floor with large glazed panels between stone piers and double doors in the middle.
• A set-back top storey with planting. It only just rises above the neighbours’ eaves.
• The building fills the plot from side wall to side wall.
• The ground floor is the same height as the neighbours’, while the storeys above sit slightly lower than theirs.

The choices in the example

• Simple and restrained
• Pale stone
• Small balconies in deep recesses
• A shop or café facing the street
• A lower frontage and a set-back top storey
