Avondale Avenue Development
This contemporary infill project in Westboro has been marketed towards young families looking for an urban lifestyle without compromise. Each 2,100 sq.ft unit is constructed using a high performance envelope, low/no maintenance materials, energy star certified appliances and the highest efficiency heating/ventilation equipment. The flat roof is sealed using a white, flexible thermoplastic membrane and the windows are protected using awnings and an acrylic water based coating to regulate the interior temperature of the building. The large front and rear building windows allow natural daylighting into the building and a light well surrounding the staircase draws daylighting into the interior portion of the building. Extensive landscaping, subtle building material selection, porches and canopies, and an emphasis on streetscape presence create a modern design that addresses the tradition of street life and connection to the neighbourhood.
