Situating the Church along E 12th Avenue to allow for a greater Church presence and visibility along the building’s most public face;
Allowing the landscaped courtyard to act as a buffer between our new development and the Lakewood Terrace Co-op;
Stepping down the building form along the north edge of Semlin Drive as transitional massing to lower density buildings towards the north;
