1.0 Introduction

The objective of these architectural guidelines is to ensure the highest standard of visual appeal and image, ensuring compatibility and integration within the community. Outlining the opportunities and constraints of building, these guidelines will assist builders, designers and home buyers in achieving a positive building experience.

2.0 Architectural Theme

The theme of this community is relaxed simplicity in Heritage styling. Encouraging originality and individual expression, a pattern of coordinated elements will achieve comfortable and cohesive streetscapes.

What defines character and community is the details. In McConachie, these details will be woven through a blend of housing styles to establish a commonality and relationship. Similar shapes, enclosed entries, stonework, articulated facades and traditional trims, will display thoughtful attention to detailing. Individual preference and style will be evident and expressive.

3.0 House Size, Massing and Style 3.1 Streetscape

The massing and size of each home must reflect appropriate scale and styling within the streetscape. Massing, style and setback may be adjusted on a lot to lot basis, to enhance the streetscape. Streetscapes will be comprised of two story models only. The front elevation will include at least one variation in wall plane at the second floor façade, above the garage.

3.2 House Size

Houses are to have a consistency of mass and volume within the streetscape. Minimum house width: Duplex Homes (RF4) 20’

4.0 Site Planning and Grading 4.1 Conformance to Grading Plan

Site planning and grading must accommodate the natural slope of the land with variations in grade absorbed within the building mass. The Purchaser shall be responsible for the design, construction and costs of any retaining structures and must ensure design grades and lot drainage are not compromised.

4.2 Parging Exposed concrete and parging will be restricted to a maximum of 2’ at all visible elevations.

4.3 Risers and Entry Steps Front entry steps are to be a maximum of four risers per set. Where the grade or design calls for more than four risers, the run must be split.

5.0 Repetition

On these duplex lots, there will be no repetition on adjacent lots (XOX). Duplex buildings will be designed to avoid mirror image of units at front elevation. Variation in wall planes, rooflines, window groupings and finishes are some of the architectural measures that can achieve distinction between units.

McConachie May, 2015

On lots designated high visibility, repetition and mirror image must be addressed at both the front and rear elevations. Repetitive use of elevations and architectural styles will be monitored to ensure interesting streetscapes. Modifications to elevation treatments may be required accordingly.

6.0 Special Design Considerations 6.1 Corner Lots

All corner lots are highlighted for exceptional treatment, with a higher standard at corner lots on, and visible from collector roadways. Flanking side elevations on corner lots must have full front elevation treatment:

Appropriate wall heights and massing Roof line between 1st and 2nd floor. This roof line must be supported by projections and intersect with

same in order to appear intentional Relief in wall plane is required (jogs/box outs) Appropriate roof overhangs Number of openings suited to wall area (avoidance of blank wall space) Detailing consistent with the front elevation including window grills and trims Window configuration and groupings consistent with front elevation and styling

6.2 High Visibility

High visibility rear elevations require special consideration. Elevations at these locations must avoid mirror image of units and reflect stylistic definition, massing, and detailing consistent with the front elevation. The façade must include articulation and suitable number of openings.

*Note: Enhanced treatment at main level is optional The lots affected in stage 18 are Lots 1 to 18 in Block 11

Inappropriate Appropriate

7.0 Driveways, Garages, Walkways 7.1 Front Drive Garage Product

Single attached front drive garages, located in accordance with the street furniture plan, will be the minimum standard.

7.2 Garage Massing

Homes will be designed to integrate the garage and minimize its appearance while enhancing the mass of the house itself. Some of the architectural measures that can achieve this are proportionate development of the second floor above the garage and an emphasis on entrance treatment. Bonus room development above the garage must provide for roof mass between levels and should not exceed 75% of the garage projection. Models with articulated facades and roof lines may extend to within 4’ of the garage front.

7.3 Overhead Doors

Garage overhead doors will be raised panel, painted to blend with the exterior and enhance the presentation. Corners of overhead doors must be straight or curved. Angled corners will not be permitted. An upgraded overhead door is required in one of the styles illustrated below.

The height between garage overhead door and eave line should be less than 24”. Where the design exceeds 24”, special treatment is required.

7.4 Driveways and Walkways Driveways and walkways may be constructed of the following materials:

- concrete, broom finish - stamped and coloured concrete - exposed aggregate concrete - concrete pavers, coloured

In all cases where coloured concrete or pavers are used, the colours must be expressly approved at time of application.

Driveway is not to exceed the width of the garage to the garage front where the width may then flare to include a walkway to the front entry.

8.0 Roofing 8.1 Materials The shingles may be a standard three tab asphalt product in the colour of Sandstone (BP) or Driftwood

(IKO). 8.2 Roof Style and Slope Roof slopes minimum 6/12 Eave overhangs are to be 12” to 24” with 6” fascia.

Cantilevers and box outs on visible elevations must include a separate roofline and minimum overhang. 8.3 Chimneys Any furnace and chimneys must be contained in a corbelled chase. 9.0 Defining Details 9.1 Architectural Theme

The theme of this community is relaxed simplicity in Heritage styling. Encouraging originality and individual expression, a pattern of coordinated elements will achieve comfortable and cohesive streetscapes.

What defines character and community is the details. In McConachie, these details will be woven through a blend of housing styles to establish a commonality and relationship. Similar shapes, enclosed entries, stonework, articulated facades and traditional trims, will display thoughtful attention to detailing. Individual preference and style will be evident and expressive.

9.2 Entrance Treatment A porch or veranda is required. Entrances will be covered at the first level. Base of wood verandahs/porches will be enclosed to grade and include closed risers. Wood verandahs/porches must be painted or stained in a finished state. The landing and treads may be left in a natural state.

9.3 Windows

Window grills are required in a traditional pattern.

Rectangular or ellipse transoms are suited. Small square, round and oval windows may be featured.

Glazing will be a substantial feature at all visible elevations, with the number and size of openings appropriate to the wall surface. The use of window and door surrounds will be a feature on all homes. Trim will be a minimum 5”.

9.4 Detail Elements Column designs will be varied and may be metal, wood, vinyl or stone clad. Sided columns, round and fluted columns are not permitted. Triangular louvers with brick mold or rectangular louvers with trim are suited.

Panel detailing, board and batten, vertical siding, flat panel or shakes will be an additional finish on all visible elevations. These finishes will be of a different color/tone of the siding and enhanced by raised battens. Shutters combined with louvers and the application of stone/brick may further enhance the homes.

9.6 Entry Doors

Entry doors will be simple in styling and may include a sidelite or transom. Paired/double entry doors are not suited.

9.7 Detail returns All trim and masonry details must be returned 24” at side elevations.

10.0 Colors 10.1 Repetition and Contrast

All colors will be reviewed on an individual basis without repetition on adjacent lots. Color schemes require a strong contrast at trim and fascia. Trim and fascia are to be a single color. Streetscapes will be diverse without the predominance of one color or tone.

10.2 Accent colors

A third accent color is required. Accent color will be bright and/or bold and not a tone of the primary colors.
