The objective of this project was to provide a mid-rise residential and commercial space that would compliment the colourful lifestyle of St.Clair Ave West in Toronto. Thus, combining multiple typologies allowed the creation of an urban setting where the contrast between the town homes and tower is evident through materiality and design, ultimately capturing the diversity of its site. The communal commercial space shares the two contrasting elements and is placed near the corner of Raglan Ave and St. Clair Ave, in order to enhance accessibility from the main street. The three town homes and tower are accessible from the alley, and face North. Their orientation takes advantage of Northeast sunlight and their views are protected from potential development.
