• Committee asked that applicant study the connector design. Could more glass be used? Study how to frame views of woods and landscaping from inside the connector and building. Building and site design should maximize engagement, for residents and visitors alike, with the beauty of the natural landscape.
• Entry Perspective Rendering - Remove top mullion on windows so that there are four panes instead of five.
• A walkway along the new drive would be nice!
• Committee expreseed some anxiety over suggestion of harvesting materials from existing mother house to be incorporated in new building.
