We’re spending billions on new (necessary) transit infrastructure but we still have under-utilized transit infrastructure along avenues across the city https://twitter.com/BrownStorey/status/1546511856138944522

In our Un-Avenues research, we propose a re-design of the many north-south, public transit-connected roads, like Christie, Ossington, & Dufferin— The "Un-Avenues"— with affordable, mixed-use housing & safer streets: https://bit.ly/39THsPr

Toronto’s Rosehill Garden is now open at David A Toronto’s Rosehill Garden is now open at David A. Balfour Park! It’s quickly become a hot spot for birds, bees, and butterflies in the Yonge and St. Clair neighbourhood. 🐝
 
Informed by our Heritage Impact Assessment for the Rosehill Reservoir site and community consultation, we provided landscape and architectural services to the newly re-opened park—check out the new shaded seating areas, plantings, and #PublicWashroom building. Construction is wrapping up soon!

Rent is continuing to rise out of the range of aff Rent is continuing to rise out of the range of affordability for most people. The crisis is magnified for larger families, seniors, single parents, and new immigrants.

Our entry for Urbanarium’s 2021 Mixing Middle Competition shows our Garden Courtyard Apartment type, a model for affordable, collective housing in the city. Central courtyards, shared outdoor porches, internal pedestrian streets, and retail or workspaces create a residential community that is well integrated into the surrounding urban street grid.

The intersection of Dupont Street and Dundas Stree The intersection of Dupont Street and Dundas Street West is a clash of diverging, diagonal streets in need of a unifying solution.

Our “Dupont Triangle” study proposes more than just a traffic roundabout—we’ve designed a new development network of low and mid-rise, high-density apartment buildings, courtyards, and public spaces.

The “Yellowbelt” refers to areas of the city w The “Yellowbelt” refers to areas of the city where only single family homes can be built. This restrictive zoning applies to around 70% of Toronto’s residential areas. 

While the City has focused on intensifying housing along the avenues such as Bloor Street, our “Un-Avenues” research explores opportunities to redevelop the many north-south, public transit-connected streets that run through the Yellow Belt, like Christie, Ossington, and Dufferin. These sites have tremendous potential to be transformed into safer, better-performing urban streets with a new network of mixed-use, high-density housing.
