Design notes
What this design explores
A narrow stone-faced tower rises beyond the other roof edges and gives the front elevation a strong vertical emphasis. Small stacked openings cut into the stone, contrasting with the broad balcony and more open parking space at the side. Daylight makes the texture and shadow of the stone the main features.
Decide what the tall element needs to do before choosing its finish. It might mark circulation or screen a service zone, depending on the layout. Detail the cladding support and window junctions for cleaning and weather exposure, and check that its scale is comfortable at the actual street distance.
