SOLID EDGE RESPONSE: LOWTO MEDIUM RISE BUILDINGSLow to medium rise buildings follow thesame edge response principles as high risebuildings, with some dimensionalvariations.Vertical articulation:Building base onground floor, building body on firstand second floor, building top is roofspace and loft if any.Maximum building line setback: 5mCorners of blocks must build to zerobuilding lineParking semi-basement protrudingone metre or less above groundlevel can be built to zero buildingline.Parking structures protrudingmore than one metre aboveground level must be setback 5 mfrom street boundary line, with asuitable interface.Active uses on ground floor atleast 25% of the length of theblock in the form of functional andvisual interaction. This includesentrance lobbies, gateways tointernal block areas, shops, coffeeshops, etc.In addition, visual interface on groundand first floors at least 25% of thelength of the block in the form of largewindow panels (glass), balconies,terraces and other so that people inthe street and in the buildings can seeone another.Uses on ground floor should bepredominantly offices and retail aswell as entrances to buildings.PLANNING PARTNERS: CENTURY CITY URBAN DESIGN FRAMEWORK October 2005 30REVISION 1
SOFT EDGE RESPONSESoft edges are preferred for all edges frontingonto the open space system. Unless there areexceptional circumstances, no soft edges arepermitted fronting onto the boulevard or onmain linking streets, as the sense of enclosurenecessary to street spaces would be lost.Within a block with soft edge responses, somesolid building elements might be created foraccentuation purposes; this limited to 10% ofthe length of the block.SEMI-SOLID EDGE RESPONSEThis built form response consists of acombination between solid and soft edgesin a proportion of about 50% to 50%.Corners of blocks should always be solid,even if that block has a soft edgeindicated. This helps to define the extentof the block in visual terms.PLANNING PARTNERS: CENTURY CITY URBAN DESIGN FRAMEWORK October 2005 31REVISION 1
