Structured around a dedicated municipal road and designed to take advantage of a new central park, these initiatives will be further enhanced by a network of pedestrian- and cycling-oriented routes connecting the central park to the nearby Wilson Subway Station, placing residents just minutes from Highway 401, the Yorkdale Shopping Centre and a host of nearby shops, cafés, and services.
The architect for 30 Tippett is gh3* and they have created an attractive massing scheme that gently curve along the southern edge, bounding the adjacent parkspace.
The proposed 14-storey building will be home to 165 purpose-built rentals, including 50 affordable rental units designed to positively contribute to the cultural life of what will rapidly become a complete neighbourhood.
To achieve this dynamic community, 30 Tippett will encompass a rich network of publicly accessible open spaces encouraging residents to use the site and appreciate its landscape architecture that offers safety, connectivity and community interaction.
Ever mindful of its relationship to the surrounding neighbourhood and to the new central park, a carefully prepared urban design strategy successfully complements the massing strategy of the buildings, ensuring that all greenspaces remain accessible and that any shadows caused by the surrounding buildings are mitigated.
Acquired from Build Toronto, these developments were conceived from a city-wide initiative to fulfill a crucial goal of building affordable ownership and new affordable rentals.
As part of the overall masterplan for the Tippett Regeneration Area, 36 and 36R Tippett are currently being constructed at the northerly portion of the site. gh3 are the architects for these two buildings, with interiors designed by Lukas Design. 36 Tippett will stand as a 14-storey 291-unit condominium building with 50 affordable ownership units and a daycare centre accessible to residents. 36R Tippett is designed as a beacon for this future community, where the rental building will feature a striking undulating rich, deeply-hued faade with cantilevered balconies and thoughtful suite layouts rising above beautiful landscaped gardens below. Ready for occupancy in 2019, 36R is an 8-storey mid-rise building that will include 171-units, 50 of which will be affordable rental units. Both buildings will convey the same warm-toned metal cladding that will be a measured counterpoint to the first phase of Collecdev’s redevelopment of the Tippet Regeneration Area.
Designed with a rich network of publicly accessible open spaces and true to its contemporary context, these buildings invite people to circulate through the site with enhanced safety, connectivity and community interaction. Ever mindful of its relationship to the surrounding neighbourhood and to the new central park, a thoughtful approach has been taken in the placement and massing strategy of the buildings, ensuring greenspaces remain accessible and shadow impacts are mitigated.
