Known for its small town atmosphere and beautiful site lines, Bancroft Ontario exhibits potential for residential growth and development. Bancroft Homes is a residential complex proposal that aims to ground the community into the site. This is accomplished by a central courtyard that acts as the anchor for both communities, that of the residential complex as well as Bancroft’s existing community. The courtyard becomes a core for circulation within the complex and within Bancroft since the site is located along a major road, Hastings Street North. The ground floor hosts a commercial zone which connects to Bancroft’s mining history by creating a rock/crystal museum and shop. By connecting to Bancroft’s history and creating a central courtyard, the complex becomes embedded into the site, creating a strong and rooted community.
