This mixed-use residential project features rental housing above a single commercial retail unit at street level. Its design approach begins from the idea of storytelling—creating a development that responds meaningfully to its surrounding urban environment. The project aims to heal the city by completing the street wall consistent with the Victory Square policy, while also offering dignified, light-filled homes with generous storage. Unlike many developments in the area dominated by small studio units, this project specifically supports families by providing a safe and suitable living environment enriched with amenities.
A strong emphasis is placed on community and livability, including a landscaped rooftop that accommodates children’s play spaces and opportunities for urban agriculture—an important response to the dense urban context. Commercial frontage at street level is designed to reinforce a vibrant public realm, supporting active urban life and complementing nearby developments.
Architecturally, the building takes inspiration from David Chipperfield, adopting a contemporary but understated language that respects the surrounding neighbourhood. Materials such as copper-colored cladding and woven mesh, light grey window and door systems, concrete, and terrace pavers express a refined palette, while features like frosted balcony guards and a welcoming residential lobby with a detailed neighbourhood mural enhance the project’s character. Upper levels are stepped back from the eighth floor onward to reduce massing and improve fit within the site context.
