The Arbour in Toronto, Canada by PROVENCHER_ROYTuesday, September 18th, 2018Article source: PROVENCHER_ROY The Arbour proposes to be the hinge of the George Brown College Waterfront campus. The building links the School of Design, the Daphne Cockwell building, and upcoming Innovation Center while also serving as the gateway to future development. Located at the junction of the urban grid and nature’s grid, the Arbour interlaces both to boldly respond to the site’s conditions. Cutting a diagonal across the site from top to bottom, the Arbour organizes itself around the available daylight on site. Inside, an escalating atrium serves as the extension of the public realm and brings light deep into the building’s floorplate. Around this core, a staggered truss system organizes the different spaces in an efficient and adjustable way. The trusses create resilient and generous spaces using mass timber construction.

Home in Little Italy in Toronto, Canada by AudaxTuesday, September 11th, 2018Article source: v2com “This design provides us with all of the amenities of a house, while offering all of the conveniences of an apartment,” says Gianpiero Pugliese, Principal of Audax. One unique feature that separates The Home in Little Italy from other Audax projects is the fact that it is the home of the firm’s principal, Gianpiero Pugliese. Married with two children, Gianpiero and his wife began to look for something different from the standard Toronto house when searching for a new home to meet their growing family’s needs. Without wanting to give up their downtown lifestyles, they purchased a floor of a commercial building with the vision of converting it into a family-friendly home.

FACE Cosmetic Surgery in Toronto, Canada by AudaxSunday, August 12th, 2018Article source: v2com When Audax was approached to design the new location of Face Cosmetic Surgery, the owner was looking for a design unlike anything the industry had seen. The mandate was to design a space that felt more like a hotel lobby than a clinic. To achieve this objective, Audax looked beyond the conventional design standards used in similar clinics across the globe. “FACE provided a unique design opportunity as it challenged our preconceived expectations of what a clinic should look like,” says Gianpiero Pugliese, Principal of Audax.

Waterworks Presentation Centre in Toronto, Canada by Cecconi Simone Inc.Friday, May 25th, 2018Article source: v2com A recent winner at the World Interior News Awards, Cecconi Simone Inc.’s presentation centre for Waterworks – a mixed-use condominium project in downtown Toronto – offered a fleeting glimpse of beauty and a preview of what’s to come. The condominium project by developers Woodcliffe Landmark Properties and MOD Developments Inc. will eventually include residential condominium suites, a state-of-the-art YMCA facility and a large food hall. The sales centre – now dismantled to make way for construction – began with an existing onsite heritage building that had seen life as both a food market and a water filtration plant. Interior design firm Cecconi Simone was tasked with converting it into an engaging sales space and visual portal into the future lifestyle on offer – all without making any structural changes to the building itself, which will be integrated into the final project. To do that, they incorporated visual cues hinting at the unique attributes of the project’s final design, and took inspiration from the original building.  Image Courtesy © Shai Gil
Pioneer Village Station in Toronto, Canada by aLL DESIGNWednesday, April 18th, 2018Article source: aLL DESIGN Pioneer Village station straddles the border of York Region, beneath the intersection of Steeles Avenue West and Northwest Gate, anchoring a corner of York University Campus.

Broadview Loft in Toronto, Canada by Studio ACMonday, April 16th, 2018Article source: Studio AC Located in a downtown loft in Toronto, Canada we were asked to design a studio loft space for a young professional that wanted something equally fun, functional and unique. We produced a scheme that revolves around an element we call the ‘bed box’ which features a generous arch entryway and elevation change – a move that produces a signifier for the sleeping quarters and a moment of warmth in opposition to the white and concrete finishes of the rest of the loft. This warmth is achieved through a floor and wall wrapper of finish plywood that holds your feet and eye as you walk in. Initial studies saw this element take on a variety of forms, orientations and materials but the simple arch configuration was a reaction to the clients background, travels and personality. This fed nicely into the form of the curtain track which is the same arch shape in plan as the other is in elevation. This subtle cuing ties the two elements together, one hard and stationary, the other light and dynamic.  Image Courtesy © Andrew Snow Photography
