the restraint involved to design an elegant and appropriate facade and then…..what happens at the ground level? Was there a 1950’s used car showroom existing that now remains?
Oddly enough, the proposed ground floor does look a lot like an alteration of the one story building that’s currently there. I’m not sure why they’d take that approach but must be cheaper in this case somehow
This is going to be an interesting corner with the office/apartment/diner proposed at the corner of 66th Ave and broad. (The old Oak Lane Diner site)
