CONCEPT PLANNING
ENTRY LEVEL
business exteriors revealed large window displays and included front steps on which to perch, mingle and loiter. The first aspect invited entrance, enticing the customer inside the store with a glimpse of what it contained, and the second encouraged street-side interaction, providing a place for meeting and conversation. Rather than impose an arbitrary design era on the current businesses of Inverness, given the diversity of its history, an authentic and continued reflection of that diversity is encouraged. The facade perimeters will help establish coherence and cohesion within that diversity, and will apply equally to all businesses, from those designed in the ornamental Queen Anne style to those designed in a more understated modern style. Thematic elements, such as the use of wrought iron (a strong but beautiful material that we feel reflects Invernesss industrial heritage and cultural legacy), will be utilized. Inspiring, uniting and superceding these guidelines is a single principle: Honour the origins and historical character of each building; wherever possible retain and restore those details.

Removing on-street parking on the west side of Central Ave. and shifting the centre line to the west could allow for wider sidewalks on the east side and the addition of sidewalks on the west side.
