Historic Preservation Design Guidelines
9.6 Minimize the visual impact of lightwells
•The size of any lightwell that faces a street
should be minimized.
•Lightwells must be placed so that they are
not immediately adjacent to character
defining features, such as a front porch.
•Lightwells must be protected with a flat
grate, rather than a railing or may not be
visible from a street.
•Lightwells that face a street must abut the
building foundation and generally may not
“float” in the landscape except where they
are screened, or on a AspenModern site.
