Rental Apartment: The One on the Corner

A five-story brick townhouse on a street corner. It is embedded in the city block, with only one or two facades facing outwards; the ground floor has large openings for shops, and the floors above have regularly arranged coupled windows and small balconies, with black wrought iron vertical bars for railings. The street corner is rounded or chamfered, extending upwards into a small tower. The windows on the top floor become smaller, with a corbelled cornice and a perforated parapet above. Avoid: depicting it as a detached monumental building, using the same openings on the ground floor and upper floors, omitting the corner treatment, making the balconies large terraces.

一棟五層的磚砌街屋。它嵌在城市的街廓裡,只有一或兩個立面對外;一樓是商店的大開口,二樓以上是規律排列的雙連窗與小陽台,陽台的欄杆是黑色鍛鐵直桿。街角處做成圓弧或切角,並向上延伸成一座小塔。頂層的窗變小,上方是疊澀簷口與鏤空女兒牆。避免:把它畫成獨棟的紀念性建築、讓一樓與樓上使用同樣的開口、省略街角的處理、把陽台做成大面積的露台。
