Thought we would take the architect’s rendering of the house involved in the upcoming variance application and see what it would look like sitting on the proposed lot. We added a little colouring and some shadowing to make the drawing fit in a little better (not just black and white, as in the previous post). This is not 100% accurate to scale, but every attempt was made to make it fit as close as possible to the lot, including measuring the existing houses in the image to correspond to the measurements on the architects drawing.

Decreasing the slope on the peaks won’t change the overall size of this house (which looks exceptionally large between these two ranchers) but will go a long way to making it appear smaller and therefore conforming more to the style and character of the neighbourhood. That is why that roof line limitation was put into the bylaw and agreed upon by the neighborhood.

I believe the house looks great!
