CYAN INTEGRATED BUILDING ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN COMPLEMENTARY TO LINO LAKES VILLAGE CENTER The architectural design has been derived from the context of the Village Center. Building massing and materials similar and compatible to the Village Center are planned. Buildings on the site have been laid out with view corridors in mind and addressing the public pedestrian aths with articulated building entries and corners. Retail buildings A and B are designed to promote multiple tenants. A sign band of stucco and brick will organize individual signs at a consistent height. Signs will be individual 36" letters internally illuminated. See building elevations for wall- mounted sign locations. Building facades have three recognizable elements of base, middle and cornice. Corners of the east elevation (storefront side) are highlighted with brick pitched roof forms that repeat a vernacular common throughout the Village Center. Standing seam metal roofs are limited to end corners for visual interest and focus. Painted aluminum storefronts incorporate transom windows, canvas awnings and varied sill heights to provide facade transparency that strengthens the relationship of the buildings to the street. Brick and stucco piers with wall- mounted lights are spaced equally along the facade to provide for flexibility tenant configurations. The sides and rear of the buildings are integral - colored, rock face concrete masonry. Colors and accent textures reinforce the basic design concept of base, middle and cornice. All metal cap flashing and service doors will be painted to match the storefront color. The sidewalks along these buildings will be primarily concrete with a scored pattern. Intersections of roads or other sidewalks will be highlighted with decorative contrasting color and /or material. Planting areas will be located at the ends of the parking lanes to help screen cars and to visually soften the transition of sidewalk and roads. Lots with Retail C, a Bank, Fast Food A, B, and a Convenience Store will be designed with similar concepts as outlined above. Elevation and floor plans for these five buildings have not been developed, however they will have similar and tie -in feature detail. Sidewalks along these buildings will be primarily concrete with a scored pattern. Intersections of roads or other sidewalks will be highlighted with a decorative contrasting color and /or material. The SuperTarget building will have material and building theme to be compatible with the other buildings within the development. A pitched metal roof and stucco parapet will identify the main entrances of the building. Brick pilasters will articulate the base of the building using the same brick as occurs in the city hall complex. The main field material will be painted rock face CMU using Target retail colors. Accent bands and textural changes occur within the front facade and on the south facade. The north and east facade will be painted CMU. Target also intends to install wall- mounted signage. See building elevations for wall- mounted signs. The Kohl's front facade consists of brick with accent brick bands. The entry is highlighted with a stucco field scored pattern. Recessed entries are flanked with round columns. The east, north and west facades are composed of painted rock face CMU. The base is painted with an accent color.
