The building massing attempts to mediate between the existing and future context, introducing a four-storey street wall that reinforces the established scale of neighboring apartment buildings while carefully integrating a tower component. The articulation of the tower component begins by dividing the massing on both the East and West elevations into two distinct volumes with a continuous vertical reveal. These volumes are further reduced in scale by sub-dividing them into smaller components, articulated by white frames. The considered application of materials strengthens the definitions of these volumes, with the ‘recessed’ portions using dark gray cladding to contrast the white frames. The North and South elevations are considered as extensions of these frames, clad with white panels and employing a punched glazing pattern subtly differentiated with horizontal reveals which connect to the massing on East and West elevations.

In an effort to enhance the currently uninviting sidewalk condition along Boundary Road, ground-oriented units with dedicated patios are nested behind a layered, lush landscaping approach that reinforces a scale more appropriate for the pedestrian experience.
