The original zoning concept for the site was intended to reflect a design common to Southlake and 1709.
A very typical wood frame structure with a big pitched roof and composition shingles.
A combination of stone and brick to accommodate the code requirements for materials.
A few punched windows and maybe some articulation in the brick.
Both vertical and horizontal requirements are met by pulling out the entry ways and the ever so typical gable.
The owner is currently in one of those buildings on 1709.
He requested a more contemporary design and indicated several building he thought were well designed.
The design was to reflect his taste in architecture and the direction of his practice.
The building is set to the back of the development which is conducive to low noise levels essential for a sleep lab.
He wanted his entry to provide a dominate feature in spite of the fact that it would be the farthest entry into the building.
The building was designed to step back slightly from the south to the north.
Giving each entry visual access as the building was approached from the south.
The south elevation is initially accented with a stone wing wall and each subsequent entry point has a wing wall with the
same stone material. Each entry is also accented with a standing seam metal roof.
After the lease spaces, the owners space, starts with a stone accent wall followed by glazing and low accent stone veneer.
The entry to his suite is with the typical stone veneer wing wall, a horizontal canopy and a curved standing seam metal roof.
The glazing on the west and north side is full height with high accent windows into his infusion room and high accent
windows in his entry foyer.
The entire exterior building materials are stone, three part stucco with metal canopies and standing seam metal roofs.
The main roof slopes from west to east at 1/4" per foot with a modified bitumen roof system
The exterior walls extend past the roof deck and are designed to conceal all roof top mount HVAC units.
