C. For the North Pacific Province, appropriate architectural responses include:

1. Siting: Facilities and improvements should be subordinate to landscape features.

Place buildings away from views in order to preserve the views.

2. Massing and Scale: Buildings should complement the scale of their surroundings. Building materials should match the scale of the surrounding environment.

3. Base: The building’s base should complement the province’s rugged environment while providing durable exterior finish such as battered stone or textured concrete. The base should also anchor the building to the site and comprise a major portion of the wall.

4. Walls: The building walls should appear to grow from the ground through the use of horizontal or vertical textures (do not mix textures within one wall). The wall should be smaller than its base and roof.

5. Windows: Windows should be maximized especially south and southeast.

Minimize windows to the north. Make windows large to take in views, warmth and sunlight. Avoid extensive horizontal bands of windows and do not place windows in corners. Keep overhangs shorter on the south side to maximize daylighting.

6. Openings: Building entries should be protected by roof structures that shed snow and ice away from pedestrians. Vestibules should be incorporated into the design

PAGE 12 LESSOR: ______ GOVERNMENT: ________

to minimize the infiltration of cold air during winter months. Minimize north side entries and maximize south side entries.

7. Roofs: The roof should dominate the architectural composition, with a roof pitch ranging from 6:12 to 12:12. The shape should be simple in order to avoid “valleys” that trap snow and create maintenance problems.

8. Structure: The structure of the building should be solid and substantial. Use exposed structures, such as trusses and post and beam, for both interior and exterior.

9. Materials: Wood should be used extensively as a symbol of the province’s most abundant resource. Log and timber detailing should be considered.

a. Natural building materials and traditional timber and log detailing should be incorporated into the building design.

b. The material should be appropriately scaled to the size of the building, the surrounding natural environment, and the overall complex.

c. Exterior finish materials should be durable and low maintenance, with detailing that protects materials that are vulnerable to deterioration.

10. Colors: Natural colors that complement the surrounding environment should be incorporated into the exterior of the building with colorful accents. Interior colors should be bright and reflective to create a light, airy environment.

11. Sustainability: The use of natural building materials should be celebrated, yet not overused. Rare wood species or sizes should be avoided. Day lighting should be incorporated in the building design as well as a highly insulated building envelope.

12. General: Structures in the North Pacific Province complement the rugged natural surroundings yet never attempts to dominate nature. They should express respect for the place that honors local climate, topography, vegetation and building practices.
