Stage East in Toronto, Canada

March 03, 2011 Category: Cultural, Public Buildings

Stage East that located in Toronto, Canada, was designed by raw design. Two distinct building masses sit on a shared single level volume containing retail on Queen Street and parking entered from Memory Lane to the rear. The site features large amounts of exterior space and the upper units have enormous terraces at 300 sft. The site will also feature innovative landscaping – integrating different types of living walls that will act as dividers in the courtyard and balconies.

There were significant challenges of building the main street site – scale, density, access, economics – involving lengthy discussions with the city and several design options. Also planned for the site are; large overhangs to the south (bigger balconies), heat sinks, green roofs, lighter colour paving and autoshare space in the back.
