We have prepared revised colour perspective views of the Celestica Colorado project,
incorporating the improvements and clarifications that have occurred to date. We believe that the
revised design, reflected in the new drawings being submitted October 31, 1997, indicate that we
have addressed the concerns expressed by the City during the telephone conference we held
on October 21, 1997. We note the following changes to the drawings:
1. More shadow and relief is provided on the precast concrete, to relieve the flat areas of the
facade, by emphasizing and enlarging the reveals, and articulating panel to panel jointing
with additional shadow lines.
2. The landscaping graphic more accurately conforms to BHA Design's plans, indicating the
intention of using plantings to alleviate the large expanses of the building.
3. The building incorporates local stone, perhaps Loveland Buff Sandstone, at the main east
entrance oust south of the entry doors), and the west staff entrance. Stone will be used
on the facade as a detail material, and on benches and other landscaping features.
4. The building base has been articulated separately from the upper precast concrete wall
panels, with a different colour and texture of concrete, to provide additional material
contrast particularly on the north facade.
5. The brise soleil has been expanded to cover more glass at the east facade; and tree
planting is indicated to provide a shaded, softer forecourt to the main entry.
We trust that the attached drawings communicate that we are committed to producing a well
designed building and landscape, for both our client the City of Fort Collins.
Please advise if we can provide any further information.
