EXPLORE THE IDA 2025 WINNERS - GET INSPIRED BY OUTSTANDING DESIGN!
Situated among pivotal heritage towers in Toronto, “future heritage" became central in the design discourse. This means the tower requires a grace and form akin to the context and density it occupies, yet tells a new story on Yonge Street. This story is the possibility of architecture that exhibits high quality, high performance, and a presence different than the current vernacular approaches to high-rises across the city. Our approach to achieving this architectural presence is inspired by fashion textiles, manifesting through the concept of a façade as a performance textile.
