BLOCK FOCUS · C STREET

Three façades can form one connected art corridor.

The Julia, Marston Building, and Hamilton Building offer three different canvases within the same corridor: a long trolley-facing frontage, a historic retail landmark, and an architecturally distinctive corner.

The Julia: linear window installations and lighting
Marston Building: heritage-based art and rotating displays
Hamilton Building: large-scale windows and evening programming

FAÇADE OPPORTUNITY READ

Look beyond the storefront glass.

Each block should be evaluated as a layered canvas: upper walls, architectural entries, windows, columns, and the evening pedestrian experience can work together.

FIELD VERIFICATION · B STREET

Separate the occupied lobby from the vacancy opportunity.

The supplied image confirms the 600 B Street building frontage at Sixth Avenue. The specific northwest-corner vacancy still needs an exact address, suite, and straight-on façade photo.

VISUAL CONCEPT STUDIES

Three ways the corridor could feel after dark.

These are early design studies for internal discussion. They show scale and atmosphere—not final artwork or approved designs.
