Avoiding trendy solutions, the design of this building provides a timeless approach to placemaking. Inspired by beautifully proportioned and detailed turn of the century apartment buildings, the design derives its language from the context and the existing Pierce Arrow building below.
This project will offer a vibrant public realm, including the restoration of the double-height arcade along Yonge Street. Along Marlborough Avenue, there will be an intimate patio space, a beautifully composed lobby entry, and three charming city townhouses, creating a gentle transition to the residential neighborhood.
The building is crowned with east and west loggias, comprised of three vaulted arches of the same scale and proportion as the arches of the original building at street level. This feature ties the whole building together and results in an iconic gesture in the skyline that will make this project a cornerstone of the neighborhood.
