Repeated use of same window style and location undermines the currently proposed playful design concept. Restudy. c. SBAR loves the ocean view window at the west elevation: very creative solution. d.

(Continued from 12/07/12) a. House, guest house and cabana are well organized and are acceptable architecturally.
Page 5 b. However, stables and employee dwelling need to work together architecturally and secondly they need to relate to the house, guest house and cabana elements of the project. c. The roofs of the stables and employee dwelling do not match and the roofs are important design elements that could provide unity. Consider adding a metal shed roof to the prefab. d. The fact that the stables exist and that the employee dwelling is a prefab does not factor into the design review; these project components need to achieve a higher level of design Project received further conceptual review only, no action was taken.
