Published drawings show a four-unit quad layout, with one accessible basement unit entered from a three-foot-wide ADA-compliant ramp off North Park Avenue, while the upper three units are accessed via an exterior staircase along West Pike Street. Each unit will feature two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The building is clad in horizontal siding with vertical board-and-batten accents at the bays, and incorporates a mix of double-hung and casement windows arranged between projecting bays. The design also includes front and rear overhangs, exterior staircases, and setback areas at the sidewalk.
