Design Scope and Overall Design

The project is a mixed used high-rise building located in Toronto. It is a part of the larger development that takes place in the newly gentrified part of eastern Toronto, directly connected to downtown. The building is a 25-floor tower type design where the fist 6 floors are meant for renting options. The project is devised into three phases: phase 1 - Building A, phase 2- Building B and phase 3 - Building C.

The design has a relatively complex window system with the colors corresponding to historical buildings on the site. Arquitectonica has been designated as the exterior designer where the AOR, G+C, is responsible for planning, managing and future construction documentation. The project has just entered the Design Development phase.
