22 Miss. Code. R. 23-10-105

Current through December 10, 2024
Section 22-23-10-105

Guidelines for Building Exteriors - In the case of large scale facilities, building mass should be broken into component units if doing so will permit some units to be better integrated into site topography. Roof form and silhouette should be varied and styled to harmonize with the surrounding landscape and to blend with the natural tree line. Except in highly developed areas, structures should reflect the natural surroundings and typical colors of existing coastal architecture. Earth colors and sky blue can be universally used for general surfaces; black, navy blue, and battleship gray are appropriate for industrial or similar building types that are meant to recede visually. Building materials and texture should reflect surrounding natural materials. Articulation of elements on facades and the use of wood or slatting of synthetic materials are ways in which this can be accomplished. Administration buildings and all structures whose design is not restricted by operational criteria should be designed to blend with surroundings, in terms of height, silhouette, mass, materials, and color. Blighted and derelict facilities should be removed, restored or rehabilitated for new uses to reduce the degradation of natural scenic qualities.
