Proposals should be harmonious with existing structures within
the district.
A. Scale. The scale of a building is its size relative to common reference
points: e.g., the human body and nearby structures. New construction
should be consistent with the dominant cornice and peak or ridge height
of other nearby structures within the ROI.
B. Proportion. Proportion deals with height, width, depth, and spacing
relationships and is important both in the overall dimensions of the
building and in its individual components. New construction should
be consistent with the proportions of other nearby structures within
the ROI.
C. Massing. Massing refers to the shapes, sizes, articulation, composition,
and voids created by the three-dimensional forms that constitute the
structure. Massing tends toward aggregations of simple geometric shapes
in keeping with traditional New Hampshire village architecture. New
construction should be consistent with the dominant massing of other
nearby principal structures within the ROI.
