351 Calliope St

Description: Final elevation and detail review of previously approved new construction of an 18,000 SF three-story hotel building on a vacant lot. 

Previous ARC Recommendations: 

08/16/2022: The ARC voted to recommend conceptual approval with the details to be worked out at the Staff level with the proviso that the elevation details return for additional ARC review once they are further developed. The ARC also agreed that:

• The woven concept for the façade is interesting and the asymmetry at the corner is appropriate, but the ARC recommended the applicant further develop the woven concept such that overall, it is less symmetrical with more emphasis on the interwoven quality of the materials. This may include further development of the window placement and/or additional color bands.

• The carved-out ground floor as-shown is appropriate for this specific location based on the precedent of the Convention Center directly across the street and the emphasis on pedestrian access and engagement along Convention Center Boulevard.

• Operable windows are preferred over fixed windows, but if fixed windows are utilized then the horizontal muntin should be removed to further emphasize their verticality.
