The massing of the building is articulated with projecting brick piers filled with metal panels and glass. The rhythm of these piers is carried onto the upper level and laneway elevation with modulations in colour of the metal panel cladding. The building is organized with consideration to the character of the street frontages. Along the East Broadway frontage, the reticulation of the façade and rhythm of the brick piers provide refuge to pedestrians at this high auto-traffic intersection.Residential and commercial entries at Renfrew street are designed around an existing busy bus stop.
