Woodbridge Design Guidelines <br /> Chapter 5-Woodbridge Design Guidelines <br /> Architectural Details: <br /> Architectural details exhibited on historic Italianate structures in <br /> Woodbridge include cornice moldings supported by decorative <br /> brackets, ornate brickwork surrounding recessed windows and <br /> doors, and recessed wood paneling and wood-paneled kick-plates. <br /> The following guidelines for architectural details apply: <br /> • Architectural features appropriate to the Italianate style, such <br /> as brackets, kick-plates, and door, window and cornice <br /> moldings add visual interest to a structure and shall be <br /> incorporated into the project design. <br /> • Whenever possible, architectural features on historic structures <br /> shall be preserved. <br /> • For new construction not located near or adjacent to a historic <br /> Italianate structure, the building design may incorporate <br /> contemporary and/or simplified interpretations of the <br /> architectural features noted above. These contemporary and/or <br /> simplified interpretations must keep in scale and character with <br /> the prevalent architectural elements (See Figure 13). <br /> Building Materials, Colors and Finishes: <br /> Choosing materials that are appropriate to the Italianate period will <br /> ensure compatibility of new development to historic structures. <br /> The following guidelines for building materials, color, and finishes <br /> apply: <br /> • New structures should use brick as the primary building <br /> material, specifically for all facades visible from public view. <br /> The quality of the brick should have a finish consistent with <br /> older brick facades in the District. This can be achieved <br /> through the use of older, recycled brick. Brick shall not be <br /> painted. <br /> • Architectural elements such as covered awnings and balconies <br /> should utilize materials consistent with similar types of <br /> projections found on existing historic resources and the <br /> primary building materials. <br /> • Earth tones are preferred for paint colors of architectural <br /> elements other than brick. For buildings whose facades utilize <br /> materials other than brick, the number of colors on the exterior <br /> shall be limited to a maximum of three (3), with an additional <br />
