*Initial DD and CD Stages were undertaken by Olena Struk while being a part of Gair Williamson Architect Inc.
The development would consist of a ground level commercial rental unit facing the E Hastings street frontage, with a total of 34 residential secured rental units.
The street frontage is designed with a 4-storey, dark grey, brick-clad street wall. The 5th & 6th levels are recessed and clad in light coloured metal cladding to maintain the prominence of the 4-storey massing. The bulk of the upper 2-storeys is further visually reduced by “trimmed” corners on the north-east and south-east. The façade is defined primarily by a series of brick piers - corbelled in plan – which divide the façade into a series of equal width bays. At the top of the 4th level is a larger corbelled cornice where the brick detailing terminates. The penthouse levels (5 & 6) are clad in light coloured (white or light grey) vertically oriented metal cladding. Windows are organized as a series of vertical slots, clad in dark grey / black metal.
