Uh, no.

A further interesting (non-maintenance) aspect of the contract: Astral had to ensure all moral rights in the designs were waived. I wonder if the City received such waivers before they modified Dundas Square against the designers' @BrownStorey wishes? https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/03/08/architect-of-yonge-dundas-square-describes-it-as-extraordinarily-ugly.html

Keeping facades is the absolutely lowest response - as Alsop says, it’s’urban taxidermy’. No reason why housing can’t have excellent design. Losing the setback requirement provides more area for the envelope and gives latitude to bring quality to the public realm.

Sheena Sharp for Don Valley West! @VoteSheenaSharp

@BrownStorey We need liveable spaces that are "anywhere", they are a particular place. We can do so much.

But dont impose things like keeping the facade, or even affordability, in the name of preservation, because it works against todays needs.

New mid-rise condo going up right on the West Toro New mid-rise condo going up right on the West Toronto Railpath. 🏗 Great to see more intensification of a formerly ignored railway/industrial zone! #Junction #JunctionTriangle #DundasWest #WestEndToronto #Architecture #Condos #Midrise #Urbanism #WestTorontoRailpath #UrbanDesign #TorontoRealEstate #UrbanIntensification
Victoria Park Ave and Pharmacy Ave are both north- Victoria Park Ave and Pharmacy Ave are both north-south corridors in Toronto's #EastEnd that pass through Taylor-Massey Creek before connecting to the Danforth. Where these streets encounter the open green space, they become unbuilt, underutilized strips of roadway with no relationship to the Creek and no establishment of a public realm. These roads have tremendous potential for new development of affordable, high-density housing. Carefully placed residential towers, pedestrian-oriented streets, and new linkages integrated with existing neighbourhoods and the Creek could become new a prototype for intensifying urban areas along Toronto’s ravine space.

The Greenwich Mohawk brownfield site is a 50-acre The Greenwich Mohawk brownfield site is a 50-acre former industrial zone in Brantford, #Ontario. 🚜 The site was formerly occupied by Massey-Harris-Verity and Cockshutt Plow companies and was once Canada’s 3rd largest manufacturing centre for exported goods, but was abandoned in the 1990’s. Our proposal for the site reconnects and reintegrates the former industrial district back into the normal life of the city. Our proposal with Stanford Downey Architects Inc. in 2009 creates a generous linear park that immediately transforms the site’s forbidden nature with an inviting system of open green spaces. A network of laneways, pedestrian routes, squares, and parks work together to mediate and integrate the neighbourhood into this challenging geography. 🏡 Learn more about our proposal for this historic site at the link in our bio!

On the corner of Main Street and #Danforth is #Mai On the corner of Main Street and #Danforth is #MainSquare, a complex of high-density apartment buildings built in the 1970’s. With minimal shade and no seating or connections to the surrounding city, the Square could benefit from stronger urban engagement. When changes were proposed at the site, residents called on our office to study how to add density while enhancing the public realm. Our proposal for an enhanced public realm around Main Square includes: 🏙 New configurations for additional towers 🚊An underground pathway from Main Square to the Main Subway Station 🚶‍♀️A covered walkway from Main Square to the GO Station 🌳New courtyard housing in the adjacent property (currently used as a self-storage facility) Learn more about our proposed solution for Main Square and its surrounding neighbourhood at the link in our bio!

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! Learn more about our work on David A. Balfour Park at the link in our bio.

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.
