教堂411号的Axis公寓

Church Street north of Carlton is at the heart of the Church Wellesley Village 在多伦多, 而且离瑞尔森大学很近. 随着成长的 u大学在过去的十年里he neighbourhood has witnessed urban intensification and has evolved into an important node in Toronto’s cultural landscape. 尽管新店不断涌现, 餐厅, 酒吧, and residential accommodation that cater to a variety of demographics, 411 Church Street was still an empty asphalt parking lot. In 2015, IBI Group was approached to design, and subsequently transform, this important site.

轴的公寓 is 一座38层高的塔楼，其中包括一个 六个有零售及住宅用途的多层平台. 的 development maintains a podium-tower typology that is in line with the new Stanley Condos immediately to the south. 的 ground 地板上 is set back on Church Street to create a 6m-wide sidewalk with a further widening at the corner of Church and Wood Street to facilitate outdoor patios with Café–风格的座位. Small format retail units, in keeping with the character of the Village, occupy the ground 地板上.  

的 public realm has been significantly enhanced with pavers across Wood Street (and its flanking sidewalks) and a tree-lined boulevard. 上面建筑物的深悬, 还有零售店面前面的顶篷, 促进行人的保护和舒适. 完整的城市建筑群–清晰的表达, tree-lined sidewalks with benches, canopy protection, patio 座位,小–规模零售与档次–related town house units create a safe and animated public realm with a strong sense of place.  

的 南北两面 of the building are lined with balconies, while the east and west faces are devoid of any balcony expression. 的 balconies have a saw tooth profile that alternates from 地板上 to 地板上 creating a honeycomb pattern on the 南北两面. 因为阳台面的平面在变化, the dividers are sloped as they connect between two levels and help complete the architectural expression. T他的主题也出现在风景表现中, creating a cohesive design proposal that seamlessly integrates the underlying pattern that defines the building’s form in an architecturally unique manner.
