River City Phase 1 Toronto, ON Consisting of 349 units within two angular, matte black buildings connected by a four storey bridge, the award-winning first phase of River City kicked off Urban Capital's four phase River City development in 2009. The two buildings, a 16 storey building along King Street and a six storey building along Lower River Street are connected by a four storey bridge. With its torqued forms and black aluminum cladding, this tower makes a radical break from the Toronto condo-tower formula, yet it responds thoughtfully to its site. The building’s shape marks the unusual geometry of the intersection where King and Queen Streets meet, and its highest element becomes a landmark on the edge of downtown.

It successfully engages the city, linking a public realm of pedestrian friendly streets and exceptional parks with an architecture inspired by flow, movement and continuity.

It’s playful and sculptural modernism is an excellent example of mid-rise architecture and unique suite types that achieves an urban development balance.

It successfully engages the city, linking a public realm of pedestrian friendly streets and exceptional parks with an architecture inspired by flow, movement and continuity. Phase 1 & 2 are interpreted through faceted building forms, a stark black and white colour palette, and a combination of aluminum panels, various glass systems and board formed concrete. It’s playful and sculptural modernism is an excellent example of mid-rise architecture and unique suite types that achieves an urban development balance. Unlike the dark exteriors of Phase 1 and 3, the sleek white design of Phase 2 stands out as a luminescent jewel against the industrial feel of the buildings surrounding it.

Entering pre-construction late this summer, phase three is slated to be the most impressive addition to the award-winning complex. Situated at the mouth of the Don River the LEED Gold, mixed-use development has been turning heads since breaking ground four years ago. Designed in collaboration with Saucier + Perrotte Architectes, Phase 3 brings over three hundred residential units to a 29-storey tower situated immediately south of the elevated roadway which cuts across the site and over the river. The tower is striking from any angle - on one side a dark textured façade draws on the industrial nature of the area’s past while another exposes light-framed units stacked neatly but moving in and out irregularly. Midway up the rower, a green roof and lap pool offer a hidden urban oasis. As the outside suggests the interior spaces are also unique. There are small units with huge terraces and big units with just a balcony and a unit jutting out above it. Common areas combine form and function with a 2,000-square-foot gym, two-storey common room, and a sloped lawn. Retail will be accommodated at the base of the building, bound by Lawren Harris Square and Corktown Common Park. River City demonstrates that even large-scale housing schemes can celebrate and express individuality. Phase 1 and Phase 2 of River City are located north of the Adelaide ramps, running from King Street East to Underpass Park, while Phases 3 and 4 will be located south of the ramps, facing Don River Park and River Square. When fully built out, River City will contain over 1,100 residential units together with retail stores and townhouses at ground level.

Continuing River City's penchant for bold forms, the building is designed as a series of pentagonal plates circulating as they rise, reflecting the five sides of the site, and allowing for oversized balconies and terraces on many floors. Responding to its context, the building connects Lawren Harris Square with Underpass Park by lifting itself up at the ground level, creating a relatively column free 6-metre-high open space between the two public spaces and providing sunlight and views to the 155 units. Half of the ground level is publicly accessible and provides a pedestrian connection to Underpass Park. The palette and materials will be like those found on earlier phases. Lower levels will be dominated by cast in place concrete—mirroring the supports of the Eastern Avenue flyover to the north. On upper levels, dark smoked glass will front the angular balconies, with clear glass on the walls. Occasional highlights of metal panels are used for solid wall cladding, while at ground level green glass will be the background for the park spaces. River City is a master planned residential development that brings a unique, bold response to a former brownfield site along Toronto’s Don River. It successfully engages the city, linking a public realm of pedestrian-friendly streets and exceptional parks with an architecture inspired by flow, movement, and continuity.

This unique 16 Storey Residence offers studio to two-bedroom units, as well as penthouses and lofts from 350 to 2,600 square feet. The units will have 9 or 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows with innovative features and meticulous details. The project comprises two parallel buildings with dual frontages facing to both the streets, thanks to the series of rhythmic glass boxes pushing in and out where the living spaces and the private balconies take place, as a result to create an interesting expression to the facades. The north and south facades, facing the street, gradually transform from the ground up. At street level is a series of large boxes, two to three storeys high that continue the existing urban fabric. This platform features restaurants, shops and the main residential lobby. Above, rising straight up without stepping back, is the rhythmic façade, based on a stacking of the project’s building module, i.e., the basic single living unit. The modules/units are first stacked and then pushed back and forth consistently throughout the building to create alternating private balconies and to give the building its distinct expression. The balcony setbacks get deeper on the upper floors along King Street to create a subtle deformation in the façade’s pattern without breaking the vertical plane. In this way, while the overall volumetric composition remains intact, the façades themselves possess a vivid three-dimensionality. The overall intention is to recognize the individuality of each person living in the building — addressing the human scale — while preserving a coherent understanding of a larger, complex building texture at the scale of the city. The result is a building that communicates at two scales, the collective and the individual. Capping the building is a dramatic 40m long lap pool, complete with shade cabanas and an indoor/outdoor bar overlooking Toronto’s downtown core.

Burjside is Damac Properties' first serviced apartment project for short or long term guests seeking a home away from home and will be managed as per five-star international standards. The 49-storey building bridges the divide between high-end residential apartments and luxury five-star hotels and includes an entire floor dedicated to leisure amenities. The temperature controlled swimming pool will be the centrepiece of the leisure floor, with a fine cuisine restaurant and lounge overlooking the pool. Accommodation design includes a choice of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, all with their own internal gourmet kitchens and European stainless steel appliances. ZAS applied its acute attention to décor detail to ensure a sense of opulence and luxury living is achieved throughout. The podium façade is a rich composition of materials that includes juxtaposed types of glass and multi-coloured aluminium composite panels. The structural framework and cladding system of the tower had to be carefully designed to withstand the extreme temperatures of the region and to accommodate the wind pressures and seismic loads.

With the recent completion of the Civic Centre, the next phase of development slated to take place is the construction of a new centralized Resource Library. This new library will be a stand-alone building with strong urban design ties to the Civic Centre, yet at the same time asserting it’s own distinct architecture and identity. The planning of the library is both outward and inward looking and is based on a courtyard typology to create a green oasis at its centre. A multi-storey marketplace comprised of book retail, café, community info panels and the library’s main service desk will greet patrons, and also provide access to a second storey that contains offices for the Vaughan Public Library main administration. A Children’s Zone is located near the main entrance along with a dedicated Teen Zone dedicated and highly super visible areas. Soft-seating areas arranged in a theatre like configuration cascade downwards to a lower level containing non-fiction and multi-lingual collections. Anchoring the furthest end of the library is a large Study Hall supported by a computer Training Suite.

To the benefit of the community, the City of Toronto and two publicly funded school boards collaborated to create better facilities than they could have built individually. Community engagement, urban design excellence, and sustainability have been integrated into an innovative partnership model, providing a new solution to the urban intensification currently experienced by many cities around the globe. Serving an important social function, the campus architecture supports a new platform for connection. In a vertical, urban community where neighbours often experience solitary lifestyles, this interaction is vital. Conceived as a social condenser, the building program was developed through multiple community meetings attended by hundreds of residents. Community input generated innovative spaces such as indoor play areas geared to enhancing children’s gross motor skills and the creation of multi-purpose rooms that adapt to both active and passive uses. Sustainability and resiliency are prominently integrated, including maximizing green roof opportunities and an introduction of photo-voltaic panels to generate 10% renewable energy to meet the highest level of the City of Toronto Green Standards. Above, the building features a dynamic, “active” green roof – complete with a basketball court, jogging track and urban gardens. Functioning as a natural extension of the adjacent Canoe Landing Park, the sloping green roofs sculpturally address both aesthetics and functionality, creating a “fifth elevation” rather than a typical roof. Toronto’s population boom and an influx of new, culturally diverse residents means that to meet demand, homes, and neighbourhoods will continue to rise skywards.

Inspired by the agricultural and natural landscape, both the site and building design reflects a modern attitude to design, yet is mindful of its past heritage. Reminiscent of the adjacent farmers’ fields, the site design is an abstract expression of linearly planted bands of selected vegetation that include perennial flower beds, framed by grids of bushes and treed orchards. This landscape is also the foreground for the building’s main exterior feature, a multi-directional curved glass wall simulating the undulations of windblown-planted harvest fields. In its movement, this glass wall reflects a spectrum of light and images ranging from the distant sky to the immediate landscape that grounds the building. Conceived of as the new “Centre of the Community”, the facility combines sport, fitness, and library services on one site and under one roof. The central organizing element of the building will be timber framed public galleria that stretches along the main façade and links the community centre, aquatics centre and public library. The facility design also includes a future indoor soccer centre, with a gently arching wood diaphragm structure above the FIFA soccer pitch. Sustainable design strategies and systems have been utilized to ensure the facility will achieve LEED Gold certification.

Inspired by the agricultural and natural landscape, both the site and building design reflects a modern attitude to design, yet is mindful of its past heritage. Reminiscent of the adjacent farmers’ fields, the site design is an abstract expression of linearly planted bands of selected vegetation that include perennial flower beds, framed by grids of bushes and treed orchards. This landscape is also the foreground for the building’s main exterior feature, a multi-directional curved glass wall simulating the undulations of windblown-planted harvest fields. In its movement, this glass wall reflects a spectrum of light and images ranging from the distant sky to the immediate landscape that grounds the building. Conceived of as the new “Centre of the Community”, the facility combines sport, fitness, and library services on one site and under one roof. The central organizing element of the building will be timber framed public galleria that stretches along the main façade and links the community centre, aquatics centre and public library. The facility design also includes a future indoor soccer centre, with a gently arching wood diaphragm structure above the FIFA soccer pitch. Sustainable design strategies and systems have been utilized to ensure the facility will achieve LEED Gold certification.

Previously operating from an existing elementary school, the re-development of this site creates a 50,000 s.f. community centre within a re-vitalized neighbourhood park. Located in the North York area of Toronto, the project addressed many of the growth issues experienced by a City in transition. This being the case, the project is distinguishable for it’s attempts to mend a fragmented urban fabric both architecturally and socially, becoming a beacon that supports the City’s plans to encourage development along its Avenues. The facility is organized to provide a high level of access to community programs and events, becoming the community’s focal point. Conceptualized in a T-shaped plan form, the building provides the backdrop to an urban forecourt, as well as a contrasting neighbourhood entrance court. A double-height lobby links both major entrances of the two-storey building as well as provides an informal assembly space at its nexus. The flexible characteristics of the design are evident in its overall planning as well as its detail. Multi-purpose rooms and art rooms are a major component of the building’s program supported by athletic functions that include a gym, exercise room and aerobics studios. In accordance with the City’s environmental ambitions, the centre was designed to LEED Silver standard and achieved Toronto Green Standard 2.

With its 50th anniversary celebrated in 2009, our team was commissioned to undertake a feasibility study to report on possible redevelopment scenarios as well as conduct a technical audit of the building’s infrastructure. The results of the study pointed towards restoration of the arena, re-planning of it’s internal functions, and the need to expand the building to include community rooms to service the non-recreational needs of local residents. The Arena is symbolic of a by-gone era of recreation facility design, and is notable for the barrel shaped wood structure of its roof and the incredible volume that is created within for players and spectators. By enhancing these architectural features, capitalizing on the relationship to the adjacent park and reconfiguring/ orienting public spaces, our design rejuvenates the Port Credit Arena to a level commensurate with its immediate needs, current programming and relative importance as a landmark to the residents of this community. Recently listed as a Heritage Building under the Ontario Heritage Act, the design challenge had been to strike a balance between the modern, post-industrial nature of the existing building with a new addition that acknowledges and enhances it’s premier qualities. The sloping nature of the site created an opportunity to add a new public lobby that links the concourse level of the arena with a new lower level lobby. This addition also contains several multi-purpose rooms that will have panoramic views over Memorial Park. In effect the addition becomes a window and another entrance location into the Park. Sustainability aspects of the project had also been influential in guiding the development of the project. As a result the building and site development were designed to LEED Certified standards, as well as the City’s Green Development Guidelines. Extensive community consultation with the various recreation user groups was conducted to ensure the functional needs of the redeveloped arena were considered and satisfied. These consultations occurred at key milestones in the project beginning during the feasibility study and throughout the concept design phase, culminating at a Public Meeting where the redevelopment plans received full endorsement and support.

The overall project is a 6,500 sq.ft. lawn bowling clubhouse with a reception area, 2 large meeting rooms, change rooms, and a large community seating area with concession and a prep kitchen. It also has a large cedar viewing deck with pergola, and an outdoor 8-rink artificial-turf bowling green with surrounding the landscaped garden. It has been designed so that in a later phase it can be easily expanded to contain an indoor 8-rink bowling green. The vision for the site was to create a ‘campus’ of available facilities for the community. The new Lawn bowling facility is adjacent to the Senior’s Centre to facilitate linkages and sharing of program space between the two centres. The facility provides an improved, relocated base for existing lawn bowling club members as well as provides members of the Senior Centre and wider community the opportunity to access a new facility.

The 15,000 s.f. branch is situated on an unremarkable suburban greenfield site that buffers the transition between a commercial zone and a residential neighbourhood. The nature of the site encouraged a very strong language for the building’s design. The positioning of the building close to the road, with parking located behind, introduced a deliberately urban strategy and a strong streetscape presence to the area. Strong linearity in the fenestration and large dramatic gestures such as the main roof with sunshade and the curtainwall “lantern” will establish this building as a destination within the south end of Barrie. A generous transparent public lobby provides an effective double-sided entrance (from street and parking lot). The Program Room and primary washrooms are located to one side of this lobby while the library-proper is on the opposite side, allowing the lobby to act as a natural control point for after-hours community use of the Program Room. Programmatically, the library is organized in a straightforward linear manner. The stacks are arranged along the south reading wall, under a double-height space, allowing for easy reconfiguration of the collection as it evolves. Generous seating and browsing areas line the perimeter of the building, anchored by a Living Room that houses the periodicals, A/V and high-volume materials. Client City of Barrie Size 15,000 s.f.

Designed to accommodate major sporting events, trade shows and entertainment activities, this facility was designed and constructed in 12 months using a fast-track mode of construction management.   Phase Two: The success of the Hershey Centre Arena Complex led the City of Mississauga to engage our team once again to provide expansion plans for the community rinks portion of this complex. This phase of the project involved the subsequent addition of two rinks located alongside the existing single pad rink, in accordance with the original master plan. The design of the new interconnected rinks is based on a central support spine, in a back-to-back configuration on two levels. The grade level supports the needs of the participants, providing access to change areas. The upper level serves the needs of spectators, including tiered seating capacity of 300 persons per rink. Open viewing areas within the rinks are linked to an upper level, viewing gallery, serviced by a generous concessions area with casual seating areas providing views to both rinks below.   Phase Three: This $35M international calibre sports complex was developed as a separate building to complement the award winning facilities of the adjacent Hershey Centre. Designed as a multi-purpose facility to accommodate citywide recreation programs and sports tournaments, its largest program component is a FIFA sized indoor soccer field with a 60 ft clear ceiling height. Other major program spaces include a triple gymnasium; and a high performance competition level gymnastics facility for amateur and elite athletes. The main entrance to the 3-storey building occurs at grade from the second floor, creating a spectator concourse level that boasts simultaneous views into the three major areas of play. This central concourse also provides access to a Sports Hall of Fame gallery, community-meeting rooms, cafeteria, offices and participant change rooms on the lower level. Exterior sports amenities include two artificial surface soccer fields and a washroom/change room building.   Programme 5400 seat spectator arena 27 private box seats 3 community NHL ice pads Bar/restaurant Club lounge FIFA indoor soccer field Triple gymnasium field house Competitive gymnastics / training facility Sports Hall of Fame   Client City of Mississauga https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6a4f5ae45a7c05292b69eb/1519919742761-GD43M9903U08V62Z76ES/Hershey+Centre-fixed.jpg Paramount Centre - Paramount Centre Mississauga, ON, Canada   Phase One: This multi-award winning $30M arenas complex serves as the flagship component of a high performance sports park, which includes the main spectator arena and three community ice rinks each with 500 seat viewing galleries.

With a University mandate to create a world-class facility, the building was conceptualized as one that is rooted in a “Rock” in the landscape of the campus and yet limitless like a “Cloud”. Those metaphors were instrumental in the development of the building’s architecture and have subsequently been adopted by the school’s faculty and students when describing it. Particularly notable is the unique façade of the Cloud panels on the upper levels of the building where a scale-less aesthetic of tessellated glass and aluminium panels are unlike any other on campus. Its shimmering pattern of materials and reflectivity are always changing, much like the students work that will be created within it. The Bergeron Centre contains 15,700 m2 of floor space on 5 levels rising from the campus to create a “landscape of learning." Containing learning spaces for civil, mechanical and electrical engineering programs, the new building contains a variety of teaching and research labs, workshops, collaborative classrooms, studio spaces and social areas for students and faculty. This sustainably designed development is LEED Gold Certified and occupies an important south-west position on the York University campus.

To achieve this, another site was purchased, existing buildings demolished and the site completely re-planned and re-developed as a student-centered educational campus. To accommodate the College’s grade 7 to 12 students, a two-storey building was constructed to reflect the holistic philosophy of the program. At its core is a Student Commons area that acts as the main gathering place for students during a stage of life where social relationships are very important. This shared public space is where students come for meals, events, group work, enhancing the development of close bonds and ties that are central to the Montessori experience. The academic areas of the school are bright and well organized with generously sized classrooms that serve as inviting spaces for teaching and learning. Students make use of their own laptop computers as tools for learning in the school’s wireless environment. The striking architecture of the library serves as a true learning centre supporting traditional and technological research while promoting a love of literature and reading among all students as well. A full-size double gym and new athletic playing field encourage the development of healthy bodies, athletic competition and lifelong student recreational activities. Overall, the campus provides a safe and secure park-like setting while also allowing for future expansion as the College student body grows over time.   Client Toronto Montessori Schools Size 45,000 s.f. 2 Storey Facility Program Library Science Labs Music Classroom Visual Art Classroom 5 Classrooms Double Gymnasium Student Forum Administration Offices Exterior Courtyard 32mx50m Soccer Field Basketball Court 2 Basketball practice courts Program Phase 2 (total school capacity 280 students) 5 Classrooms Kitchen/Servery Program Phase 3 (total school capacity 365 students) 1 Classroom 2 Science Labs Stage Visual Art Classroom Music Classroom & Practice Rooms Awards   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6a4f5ae45a7c05292b69eb/1518452763364-WIP5L46ZK8Y4NWP2QS9L/09022-0007.jpg Toronto Montessori School, Elgin Mills Campus - Toronto Montessori School, Elgin Mills Campus Richmond Hill, ON, Canada Growing demand at Toronto Montessori School’s existing campus created the opportunity to build Canada’s first Montessori/International Baccalaureate College.

As the school is significantly larger than those it is replacing, ZAS incorporated 17 “house” learning clusters to bring the design down to an appropriate scale for the students. The design incorporates 21st-century learning strategies such as shared learning commons to encourage collaboration and glassed-in group work areas in classrooms. To encourage the problem solvers of tomorrow, critical thinking is taught via Makerspaces and Innovation Labs to spark interests in hands-on design and technology. The school easily doubles as a community resource by carefully locating amenities together, proving lock off areas and encouraging use after hours.

Our approach to this design challenge was to provide a building that is contextually sensitive to the unique features of the site and its proximity to the escarpment and provides visual impact through the use of contrasting, natural materials and innovative design features. The building has been carefully placed on the low-grade southeastern portion of the site in order to emphasize its exposure to King Forest Court and King Rd. The overall intent of the design features demonstrates a unique combination of environment and technology. The building’s exterior structural features of contrasting stone, wood and glass that follows the existing downward slope of the natural grade lines perfectly captures the suburban locale of the nearby escarpment and is distinctly Canadian in appearance. The contemporary angles of the raised roofline hovering above the abundant glass which surrounds the entire perimeter exemplify a sophisticated high technology business residence. The mixture of high glass and exposed wood beams throughout the premises serves to offer its employees a supremely attractive environment that is laden with natural light and clear exposure to its outside serenity. The interior design is mindful of the owner’s request to establish departmental efficiency and has been created to establish most of the more common work areas along the perimeter.

The building houses a critical 24-hour systems operations centre (SOC) as well as general administrative functions, training rooms, meeting rooms and lunchrooms. The design of this building is based on the critical requirements of the operational floor. The location and layout of the operational floor dictate the floor space and adjacencies of the other facilities in this new building. The intent of the design was to create a highly efficient operational floor as well as an enjoyable environment for the occupants. The clarity and openness of the space, material selection and access to daylight along with the support amenities provide an incentive for staff to enjoy the workspace. The layout of the SOC floor is organized with a central command podium and a radial arrangement of all departments. Interdepartmental visual, as well as audible connection, was a key issue in the resulting configuration. Within each quadrant, a layout working area is provided as well as informal collaboration spaces at each vertex of the enclosing square. A raised access floor is used on the SOC floor to allow for the myriad of power and data cable distribution and doubles as a plenum for air distribution.

Growth and changes within the organization led to the decision to sequentially renovate 6 floors and expand their operations into available space within the office tower. MLSE challenged ZAS to develop a state-of-the-art interior environment that: reinforces each division’s unique brand identity; that builds community; and would reflect corporate pride in the workplace. In achieving this, the design team set out to ensure the corporate culture was recognized, the work place flexible and the MLSE brand visually strengthened throughout. For instance, on each floor a circular common space was created as the focus and central meeting area for all team members of the organization. All circulation routes converge here, also providing a place for impromptu encounters. By treating the office as a “total” workplace, this space has transformed MLSE’s offices into a sports community that contains stimulating and effective workspaces.

Curtiss Kitchen and Dining Facility, CFB Borden Borden, ON The overall goal of the Department of National Defense (DND) was to consolidate facilities in order to create a training environment that would allow students to walk no more than 500m to all facilities. As a result, the four current ageing 1950’s dining facilities would be demolished, as part of a separate contract, and replaced with two new identical facilities (Curtiss and Vickers) strategically located on the campus. The design strategy for this new prototype kitchen and dining facility focused on providing a pleasant, efficient and enduring building with plenty of natural light and optimized interior traffic flows. The exterior forms were kept deliberately orthogonal, streamline and understated in order to produce an elegant, timeless building which fits in with the existing built environment at the base. As you enter the facility the esthetic changes and you are reminded of the history of the pine forests that were once dominant in the landscape of the site in the form of the dramatic glue laminated curved structure of the columns and beams. The interior design focuses on achieving a pleasant, easily maintained space optimized for clear and instinctive wayfinding – achieved through use of forms, materials and colours inspired by the military ribbon graphic.

As a result, the four current ageing 1950’s dining facilities would be demolished, as part of a separate contract, and replaced with two new identical facilities (Curtiss and Vickers) strategically located on the campus. The design strategy for this new prototype kitchen and dining facility focused on providing a pleasant, efficient and enduring building with plenty of natural light and optimized interior traffic flows. The exterior forms were kept deliberately orthogonal, streamline and understated in order to produce an elegant, timeless building which fits in with the existing built environment at the base. As you enter the facility the esthetic changes and you are reminded of the history of the pine forests that were once dominant in the landscape of the site in the form of the dramatic glue laminated curved structure of the columns and beams. The interior design focuses on achieving a pleasant, easily maintained space optimized for clear and instinctive wayfinding – achieved through use of forms, materials and colours inspired by the military ribbon graphic.

This multi-phased project was designed to meet the need of HSBC international design guidelines and be open for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Numerous design challenges required a full-time clerk of works from our office to ensure a smooth delivery of the construction detail information to the site, city, and communication with HSBC staff.

The site is both long and narrow, and with a full secondary program to fit, required an innovative design solution to fulfil Toronto Catholic District School Board needs, as well as the surrounding neighbourhood. The school is 2-storeys, with a basement and situated at the south end of the site. With the need for a full play field and parking, the decision was made to add a 93-spot parking structure underground. This allowed the site to remain both open for student sport use, but also for the neighbourhood that uses the existing field for events and daily routines. The shape of the school is unique in that it curves and encloses an internalized Courtyard which introduces light and air into an otherwise efficient and compact plan which is capped off with 2 large green roofs over the atrium and gym.

The ‘superblock’ building type characteristically suggests orthogonal forms with no curves or ‘faceted’ curves. The ‘superblock’ concept, as a point of departure, suggests a basic education building as a single volume incorporating all necessary teaching spaces and supporting amenities, with the option for a separate wing for the gymnasium/health program. All teaching/instructional rooms will be provided with access to natural daylighting using windows or clerestory windows. Service spaces and certain academic teaching spaces (such as theatre arts) will be situated at the core of the building with the majority of teaching spaces wrapped around them. This consolidation of building form into a more densely packed program will result in efficiencies in terms of the Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing systems and a more efficient building envelope.

Our proposed interior landscape reflects the exhilarating mixture of natural beauty, commerce and culture in a manner that is appropriate to the stature of the Abu Dhabi International Airport as “the gateway to the future.”   Client SCADIA   Size TBD   Program Intelligent LED lighting Water Features Landscaping Feature Interactive Technology Baggage Check-in Administration Passport Control Offices Immigration and Customs halls Baggage Claim Areas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6a4f5ae45a7c05292b69eb/1519683624069-RTWIUL7AB4ICGWIUA3O4/Concourse_Nov17B.jpg Abu Dhabi International Airport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6a4f5ae45a7c05292b69eb/1519683319885-BE6ZK19UPR59ED9MFX5I/Concourse_Nov17B.jpg Abu Dhabi International Airport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6a4f5ae45a7c05292b69eb/1519683646042-0SNQNGUVVJZPDLQXFCVI/D_Test.jpg Abu Dhabi International Airport https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6a4f5ae45a7c05292b69eb/1519683662057-TFKHRH6GLK3XOG5UR9XK/Baggage_Nov17C.jpg Abu Dhabi International Airport https://www.zasa.com/jack-layton-ferry-terminal daily 0.75 2024-04-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6a4f5ae45a7c05292b69eb/1519683907627-UMWB0BMEMG3WOPTWHHVY/parkl.jpg Jack Layton Ferry Terminal - Jack Layton Ferry Terminal Toronto, ON A design competition run by Waterfront Toronto looked for input to develop a new creative design for the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal and Harbor Square Park. ZAS along with five other teams of designers brought forth their plans for fueling the design of the Toronto Island ferry terminal. ZAS teamed up with Stoss and Narchitects, created a plan to have a foggy gateway from Bay Street along the harbour front called Cloud Park, which creates a dramatic and new representation of the harbour front. Unique components that come with Cloud Park are an art wall, adventure forest, swim plaza, floating hot tubs, floating wetlands and a kayak basin. These features along with distinctive elements including log benches, canopy lighting, floating lights and fog/mist systems will connect the city and the harbour in a spectacular visual way and will provide new waterfront activities for visitors.

Similar to the adjacent Bergeron Centre for Engineering Excellence, this new building will embrace a student-centric environment where their spaces are the priority of the design. As future Renaissance Engineers, students will also be encouraged to think in big systems, not silos. This will be a building for active learning, interaction and innovation. Where the “Cloud” of the Bergeron Centre became a metaphor for limitless, blue-sky thinking, the idea of the “Tree” will root the second building and support the “House” as a place from which to see our complex world from another perspective. From a concept design perspective, the tessellated landscape that forms the base of the Bergeron Centre, also referred to as the “Rock” is extended southwards towards the new Engineering/Science Building. It steps gently downwards to adjust to the existing sloped topography overlooking Stong Pond. This creates an opportunity to create a walk-out basement level and grade level courtyard providing access to classrooms and other active student learning spaces. Anchored upon the new “Rock”, a tree inspired structural system is visually expressed at this level and continues upwards and into the upper floor levels of the building. The sloped columns support the floors above, yet transparency at these levels is maximized to ensure panoramic western views across the Pond. There is an abundance of glass at these levels, yet light is filtered through the use of a reticular leaf pattern etched onto the glass. These patterned glass panels form the base of the building, stretching across the façade on three elevations to link the Main Entrance, Innovation Hub, and Classroom levels.

As a finalist for this competition, our team was among several international design teams who were asked to develop their initial ideas into full concept plans for the project. Our design, entitled River+City+Life, is founded on putting the river first, and is developed through four supporting principles. The proposal begins by giving the Don River the space and latitude it needs to be a river again—to perform hydrologically and environmentally. This is a bold premise because it is the opposite of what you see today, where the city-building has determined the flow of the river. The proposal also recognizes the importance of this new precinct within Toronto’s expanded lake front system, and it serves to connect the reconfigured central waterfront and the new Lake Ontario Park physically, conceptually, ecologically and culturally. On these foundations, the design proposal creates a contemporary metropolitan district that serves as a new model of green living.

This project expands the recreational facilities required at the Garrison and at the same time rationalizes/renovates much of the support spaces to create an expansive sport/fitness hub at one end of the Mega Complex. The project consists of a 112,000 s.f. addition containing a 52,700 s.f. field house gymnasium with the indoor track as well as a two-storey structure comprising 16,000 s.f. of exercise and weight rooms and 44,000 s.f. of training rooms, offices, change and storage rooms. In addition, comprehensive renovation of the change rooms and support spaces for the existing gym and indoor pool will improve functional flows in this very active section of the building.   The Gymnasium is a freestanding structure measuring 52’ high and bordered by a 4 lane track that encircles the playing courts. It can accommodate 3 NBA-sized basketball courts, multiple court configurations for other sports, and also be separated from the track and one another by a retractable vertically drawn curtain. The floor is a rubberized multipurpose athletic surface that allows for various sports uses and troop/trainee assemblies. Acoustic treatment of the ceiling and walls, along with abundant daylighting from lower level windows will produce a comfortable and healthy environment. Two large exercise rooms of 8,000 s.f. are stacked above each other and have a full view of the gym. Offices, training rooms and change rooms are located within a 2-storey link which connects the gymnasium and exercise rooms to the existing “Mega” structure. The south facing an exterior wall of the gymnasium features an 8,000 sf Solar Wall that will collect heat gain and transfer that heat into the building’s mechanical ventilation system. The facility is intended to achieve LEED Silver certification by the CaGBC.   Client Defence Construction Canada/Department of National Defence Size New Building at 112,000 sf Renovation at 78,000 sf Total: 190,000 Program Gymnasium Indoor Track Exercise & Weight Rooms Training Rooms Change Rooms Offices Storage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6a4f5ae45a7c05292b69eb/1519838294202-CL81NVOR5G4GCQMLIFIY/interior-gym_looking_north.jpg Garnison St Jean Athletics Field House - Garnison St Jean Athletics Field House Jean sur le Richelieu, Quebec, Canada   Saint-Jean Garrison is a military training and leadership campus located southeast of Montreal, anchored by a formidable 1,300,000 sf, 10-storey building known as the “Mega Complex” that contains classrooms, residences, social amenities and recreation facilities for new recruits, returning soldiers, and officers.

As one of the largest projects of its type in Ontario, the complex was designed to maximize the sharing of facilities, yet maintain a distinctive character and identity for each owner. Similarly, the program for this new library addition is strategically positioned at the main entrance to the community centre and overlooks the adjacent skatepark/ice skating pad one level below. It’s orientation now helps shield the ice skating pad from prevailing north-west winds in winter time. During spring and summer, patrons can sit outdoors and enjoy the large east facing reading balcony that overlooks the skatepark. The architectural aesthetic of the addition is true to the original modern style, yet evolves to become more formally dynamic through the use of curvilinear and cantilevered features. This is particularly distinguishable in the main reading areas of the library where the curved form of curtainwall glazing extends along the east façade and reappears along the west façade. This area is capped by an undulating roof form with billowing underbelly above the reading balcony, and extends into the building. The library’s interior is carefully lit with natural light from the east, and its narrow floorplate creates distinguishable collection zones for all in the community. The overall planning also delivers on a mandate to provide a high number of reading/study positions, and is functionally supported by a divisible study rooms at one end.

TRCA’s new headquarters will be utilized as a learning centre – a living laboratory for developers, researchers, professionals and students that will contribute to the uptake of improved methods and technologies that demonstrate zero carbon features and green infrastructure restoration. The concept design incorporates strategies and technology for renewable energy, innovative wastewater management and integration with the ravine landscape. ZAS Architects in joint venture with Bucholz McEvoy Architects have recently completed the concept design phase for the Toronto Region and Conservation Authority’s (TRCA) new carbon neutral administrative headquarters. An 80,000 square foot, mass timber structure designed to target LEED Platinum and WELL Silver standard, Tier 2 TGS, achieve zero carbon. This project makes a conscious effort to achieve a smaller footprint through all lifecycle phases, with model simulations predicting over 50% reduction in operating emissions, and over 75% reduction in embodied carbon compared to the average Toronto building.

This project at UTSC is the continuation of a classroom inventory expansion that began in 2009 and is centrally aligned with the University’s overall academic vision. It will occupy a very prominent location on the North Campus playing a key role in their Master Plan, and an important façade condition of a future “Campus Green”. The 19,000 m2, five-storey building contains 21 classrooms of various sizes and configurations ranging from a 500-seat lecture theatre-in-the-round to smaller 40 seat active learning environments. These technology-enabled classrooms are creatively arranged on the lower levels of the building to create a Learning Landscape that extends outside of the classroom to generate unique collaboration and study areas. Research and office space for UTSC’s Computer & Mathematical Sciences Department occupies an upper floor, while the campus’s Student Affairs Office will be consolidated at this location to offer Health & Wellness, Academic Advising and Accessibility services on the building’s top level. Sustainability targets have been directed to meet Toronto’s Green Standards requirements, and energy efficiency reductions of 40% less than baseline building standards. In part these are being achieved through high thermal insulation of the building envelope and a geothermal energy plant. The massing for IC-2 takes into consideration Master Plan aspirations, respecting the desire to create a highly transparent base to the building, and placing importance on creating active edges on all sides of it. A pure and compact rectangular built form responds to the site geometry, capitalizing on views in all directions to enhance the adjacent public realm. This approach maximizes the open space within the site for ease of access for the large numbers of students and community members that are expected to visit this building daily.

The site of this unique development occupies a prominent mid-town corner at Ossington & Dupont Streets with an interesting industrial history. It was a “Place where Stuff was Made” in its industrial past, including within the existing 1910 loft building that currently occupies the site. Over the past century, the building has been occupied by various industrial and commercial tenants. Today it is the host to a mix of commercial tenancies, primarily creative industries including photographers, fashion designers, film makers, digital and visual artists and musicians. This history is remembered and respected in a replacement development that optimizes its visual prominence and yet mediates neighbourhood scale. This new development captures the varied history of 888 Dupont Street with its broad, mixed use approach to programming. The result is a complex stacked arrangement of spaces that adapt to the complex urban condition of its corner location and bordered at the rear by an east west rail corridor. Vibrant and highly accessible storefronts will enliven the streetscape, in combination to residential entrances to suites/units above. Public access throughout the building is complex, highlighted by a third-floor landscaped podium activated by retail space. Stadium seating on the podium leads to a train viewing platform and an urban agricultural space. This urban “farm” scales up the side of the residential tower, culminating with a rooftop amenity space and 270-degree panoramic restaurant with city-wide views and the downtown core.

Guided by a strategy of healthy and resilient building design, the architecture converts a former industrial warehouse into a light-filled, inspiring workplace that will be welcoming to visitors, educators and the next generation of innovators. In our design we intentionally retained and highlighted elements of the existing building structure, such as the warehouse tower’s steel beams, so they stand in parallel with SusGlobal’s ethos as a leading driver in the circular economy.

The client’s choice of a sloping, agricultural site led to challenges by the municipality in regards to site planning, servicing and building form. In response to the site’s natural topography, the 3 level, 135,700 sf design embraces the sloping nature of the site, traversing the length of the slope similar to a giant retaining wall, creating an upper and lower plateau. The upper plateau includes all parking and bus drop off areas that lead to the school’s main entrance. Upon arrival, a split entry Student Forum is the connective space that was devised to link both plateaus. The hub-like and transparent nature of the Forum provides access to the school’s upper plateau administration area, and the lower plateau cafeteria and learning commons. The flexible nature of the cafeteria also serves as a double-sided stage for the theatre arts and music program. In close adjacency is a triple gymnasium with exercise room on an upper mezzanine. Direct access is provided to an all-weather track & field with bermed spectator seating as well as an informal turfed sports pitch or commons. Extensive design detail was paid to the public realm along two major street frontages with landscaping that includes naturalized planting, stone terraces, harmonized with storm water bio-swale management and infiltration galleries.

The ZAS team aimed to create a distinctive yet non-competitive architectural form in the context of Toruń's Old Town and its important neighboring architectural structures. The design is therefore limited to the use of simple, orthogonally arranged geometric volumes, characterized by architectural restraint, emphasizing a limited selection of finishing materials. The proposed material palette is dominated by a strategic selection of glass systems used to achieve a contrasting effect in relation to nearby buildings. Extensive use of glass with varying transparency creates an illusion of lightness and permeability, providing intriguing visual experiences. Illumination highlighting the facades gives the building a significant presence at night, while the reflective materials create unexpected, surprising effects, enticing exploration during the day. Flickering images, flashes, and reflections immerse the viewer in a magical spectacle reminiscent of cinematic experiences. Static reflections of the surrounding elements, as well as dynamic ones such as moving vehicles, pedestrians, clouds, and birds, create an infinite number of visual combinations and experiences. The team presented a concept of minimalist architecture based on the latest technological achievements, supported by environmentally friendly solutions. The building is environmentally sustainable, placing the human being, their need for contact with nature, a healthy lifestyle, and harmony as the main points of reference. It would be a modern urban complex for Toruń, universally accessible to the public and visitors, regardless of their physical condition, filled with active and inspiring cultural events on a European scale.
