Only minor things have changed since the intensive. That being said, what I have accomplished here is small, but I have been able to change the elevation of the building in the lower figure to more closely represent the scale of the neighborhood. The roof exhaust now has photovoltaic to help warm the stored and filter water and serve the areas hot water need below. Also the introduction of panels above the Trombe wall will provide the 2500 square feet of panels size recommended to heat water based on the residential use of the building.

Tom, do you remember the following comments: I would like to repeat them.
Tom, I would like you to add a bit more precision to your drawings. Your south elevation and the photo of our neighboring building should be scaled properly; your three story building is the same height as 4 ½ floors next door! I would like to see this precision also in your drawing itself. Where are floor levels? Where are the floor elevations? How do the windows relate to the floor? Is there a reason why the windows are different widths? How are the elevator Lobbies fenestrated? Different on the upper floors, or the same? Your drawing should describe in a clearer way how you think the building is put together: it is not an artist’s impression, it is an architect’s drawing.

Part of the reason that i do not have that precision is that I do not have access to the autocad program- I realize I must rectify that for the final submission.
Tom, I'm not sure if it is only a matter of a computer program. Even I remember the times we drew exclusively by hand; and the drawings were a bit more architectural... But I can't wait to see more precision for the final.
PS: any thoughts on how you might turn the corner with your facade treatment?
Werner:
Does anyone recall what is the height of the existing buildng?
Tom
Tom, I would guess about 52'
