91 <strong>Urban</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> for <strong>Barrie</strong>’s <strong>Intensification</strong> <strong>Area</strong>s - DRAFT<br />

Building Articulation and Detailing<br />

g) New buildings within the historic neighbourhoods should<br />

not mimic adjacent heritage properties, but should have<br />

sympathetic window alignment, ro<strong>of</strong>-lines, entrance<br />

location, ground floor treatment and materials.<br />

h) The original façade materials on buildings within the<br />

historic neighbourhoods should not be changed or covered.<br />

Façade renovation should be in keeping with the original<br />

building articulation, using those elements that are intact<br />

and replacing those that are missing or damaged (i.e.<br />

columns, cornices, openings, windows, doors, etc.).<br />

i) Wherever possible, existing windows and doors should be<br />

restored and made energy efficient. Their replacement<br />

should be seen as a last resort.<br />

j) Buildings should not be altered through embellishment<br />

or other decorative means against their initial stylistic<br />

intent.<br />

k) Additions or renovations in the historic neighbourhoods<br />

should reintegrate key aspects <strong>of</strong> heritage design that<br />

have been lost through degradation or previous renovation.<br />

l) In the historic neighbourhoods, storefront design should<br />

maintain a heritage rhythm and character through<br />

recessed entries and large bay windows.<br />
