# Guideline Street Design: Spatial Definition 24

Buildings should define the streets spatially. Proper spatial definition should be achieved with buildings or other architectural elements (including certain tree plantings) that make up the street edges aligned in a disciplined manner with an appropriate ratio of height to width.

The enclosure of the street is most effectively accomplished using buildings placed behind the sidewalk

Building Design: Facade Treatment

Easily-identifiable entrances should front along the public street

25 The primary entrance should be both architecturally and functionally on the front facade of any building facing the primary public street. Such entrances

should be designed to convey their prominence on the fronting facade.
