REVITALIZATION AND RENEWAL The predictable aging of building systems, combined with skyrocketing energy costs, the pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and hypercompetitive real estate markets, are the drivers of tower renewal in every major metropolis in the world.

To this end, the most common targets for building retrofits are the building envelope, mechanical and electrical systems, elevators, escalators, and building interiors.

OUR APPROACH AS A PRACTICE Our design philosophy reflects the values of our Principals – pragmatic, innovative, collaborative and sustainable. All our designs evolve through a clear process that is based on a full understanding of each client’s philosophy and business plan. We come to the table with extensive research and valuable experience...but no preconceptions. Our teams commit maximum energy and resources to every project and provide value engineering until the program, design and budgetary requirements are met.

We believe in a collaborative approach to design and encourage input from our clients throughout all stages of the project. Our technically complex projects require high levels of coordination between all stakeholders. When many parties are involved, we believe projects run smoother when the consulting team communicates in one voice to the client.

We are committed to delivering high-performance and sustainable buildings. Our teams create designs that contribute to human well-being and enhance the health of our planet, while also meeting immediate client needs and helping them achieve operational savings.

We think globally and act locally. We believe buildings should be timeless, sensible and inspiring to both their inhabitants and surrounding communities. This is why we strive to understand the local cultures, construction methods and aesthetics in all the areas in which we work. The experience we gain in one part of the world can shape work we do across the globe.

This integrated process allows us to bring the best of international practice to projects around the world.

SICKKIDS PATIENT SUPPORT CENTRE

DESIGN THAT INSPIRES AND UPLIFTS The 22-storey SickKids Patient Support Centre (PSC) in Toronto serves as a bespoke workplace for the education, training, and administration of Canada’s leading pediatric healthcare organization. It marks the critical first step of SickKids’ multi-year campus transformation project, aiming to create an inspired and reimagined hospital of the future.

As Canada’s largest center dedicated to children’s health and research, the PSC required a multidisciplinary approach, blending architecture, workplace interiors, and landscape design. The workspace design required a layout that fosters collaboration among approximately 3,000 staff members, including physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals, while also addressing each department’s unique operational needs.

A vibrant colour scheme welcomes visitors to the PSC with a striking blueribbon staircase, colourful dichroic glass, and a whimsical mobile installation.

Inspired by a child’s imagination, the design employs bold colours and playful shapes to foster an atmosphere of joy and creativity. Central to this process was the SickKids Children’s Council, ensuring that children’s perspectives were integral to the design. This collaboration included dynamic design elements, such as inspirational words in cursive LED lighting in each elevator bay and murals showcasing children’s doodles interpreting kindness, imagination, and bravery. These wall murals, facing the hospital bay, engage the imagination of patients across the street.

Lower levels of the PSC are dedicated to knowledge sharing and skill development. The flexible Simulation Centre, equipped with movable walls and furniture, adapts seamlessly to diverse educational needs. Cutting-edge technology, including 3D printers, dedicated VR/AR spaces, Student Centre and Resource Library, empower innovation and experiential learning.

Upper floors feature flexible workspaces that combine individual offices with collaborative zones. Strategic glazing, a Building Automation System, and Toronto’s innovative deep lake-water cooling maximize natural light and energy efficiency.

THE POST ATRIUM

HIDDEN GEMS AND HISTORIC CHARM IN A VIBRANT TECH HUB The Post, a historic landmark with over 65 years of service as a Canada Post processing facility, has been transformed into a vibrant mixed-use space as the Confidential Tech Client’s Vancouver Tech Hub. Embracing the “Roots Story Craft” design concept, the revitalization honours the city’s diverse culture while preserving the building’s heritage.

At the heart of this transformation lies the Atrium, a vibrant social and events hub connecting the North and South office towers. Spanning 22 feet in height, the Atrium is filled with natural light and features world-class amenities, including a 210-person event centre, a large café area equipped with dog parking and a dog run, and exterior basketball sports courts.

B+H led the interior design of the atrium and the office towers, which total 1.1 million sq.ft of office space. A striking 18-foot mural resembling a pixelated postage stamp crafted from reclaimed mailbox doors dating back to the building’s 1960s origins serves as a focal point. A hidden surprise awaits: one of the original post boxes holds a framed postage stamp from Vancouver to Seattle, commemorating the first mail run with 60 letters.

This mural frames the Atrium’s café, snack shop, and main seating area, fostering a vibrant dining, working, collaboration, and socializing hub. The Atrium features various inviting seating areas, accommodating solo work, larger groups, and numerous meeting rooms. Custom light fixtures, fabrics and furniture elicit the feeling of a living room, giving users a sense of belonging and comfort and inviting them to stay awhile.

Furthering the vibrancy of the design, B+H also collaborated with local artists Samantha Dickie & Marie Khouri to create hanging sculptures suspended from skylights above the interconnecting stairs leading to the north and south office towers.

CONFIDENTIAL TECH CLIENT

A VANCOUVER ICON, REINVENTED With over 65 years of history, The Post begins its latest chapter as Metro Vancouver’s newly redeveloped mixed-used commercial and retail space.

Inspired by Vancouver’s rich and diverse cultural landscape, it pays homage to the site’s heritage, the surrounding urban landscape, and the generations that have called it home.

Designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, the South Tower of The Post incorporates architectural elements that promote natural light and biophilic design, contributing to health and wellness. Drawing inspiration from the intricate craftsmanship of materials like ceramic, stone, glass, and metal, areas of interest within the tower will be strategically placed to evoke curiosity, foster discovery, and provide moments of delight. The design encourages users to actively seek out these features, creating a dynamic and engaging experience that evolves from day to day.

Thoughtfully positioned on each level, features embodying the design concepts will serve as landmarks, creating moments of interest and delight. The cohesive base palette, comprising textures, colours, and forms, will weave through the entire space, connecting these moments and offering a unified experience as visitors move seamlessly from one area to another and from floor to floor.

The Post is exclusively occupied by a confidential tech client, encompassing the entire 1.1 million sq ft of office space in the South and North Towers and serving as the workplace for over 6,000 employees. This location not only marks the tech client’s largest office in downtown Vancouver but also stands as the most extensive office building in the city center.

CONFIDENTIAL TECH COMPANY’S CAMPUS EXPANSION, BLDG 3

CELEBRATING THE DIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AND THOSE WHO CREATE IT The design of Building 3 at the Tech Company’s Redmond Headquarters aimed to ignite the creativity of the diverse innovators responsible for massive leaps in technology. The interior concept sought to bring out unique perspectives within what might initially seem structured and linear.

B+H and LMN Architects collaborated to design the interiors of Building 3 within Whatcom Village as part of the Tech Company’s Campus Modernization Project in Redmond, WA. Incorporating design elements like organic shapes, integration with nature, and sophisticated layers of materials, Building 3 fosters a communal atmosphere by seamlessly intertwining life, spaces, and experiences within the structure.

THE VOCABULARY OF DESIGN B+H and LMN Architects collaborated to design the interiors of Building 4 within Whatcom Village as part of the Tech Company’s Campus Modernization Project in Redmond, WA. Just as letters combine to form words and stories, programming languages utilize a fundamental vocabulary of elements and rules to craft complex experiences.

Drawing inspiration from the concept of zeros and ones, as well as dots and dashes, the design language of Building 4 at the Tech Company’s Redmond Headquarters embraces a simple vocabulary of geometric shapes. The design produces larger, more intricate, and even organic patterns and forms by layering and combining these shapes at various scales. This visual representation mirrors the transformation of base code into a compelling narrative.

100 QUEENS QUAY EAST

ESTABLISHING A COMMUNITY PRECEDENT The 24-storey, LEED® Platinum mixed-use commercial, office and retail building at 100 Queens Quay East is an integral component of the first phase of the Lower Yonge Precinct redevelopment, setting a precedent within this future community.

A place of work within a predominantly residential community, the tower creates a level of density at the south corner and within the Lower Yonge Precinct that’s required for this urban hub. It has provisions for a large food market and will include the new headquarters of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO).

An expansive three-acre public park and residential towers are also planned for the development. The plan includes a diverse range of spaces and services that encourage people to interact and promotes livability through a single destination that supports many needs and connects people, spaces and services. Linked to the downtown core via major pedestrian, vehicular and public transportation networks, the building celebrates all modes of transportation.

16 YORK

A LANDMARK FOR TORONTO’S SOUTH CORE Located in Toronto’s fast-developing South Core district between Union Station and the waterfront, the 32-storey office tower at 16 York was designed by B+H and architectsAlliance and includes 879,000 square feet of office space, three underground parking levels and ground level retail space. Features include a one-acre green roof garden elevated 40 feet above street level, an expansive courtyard adjacent to the building, a connection to Toronto’s PATH system and a dramatically swooping canopy extending over the building entrance.

The main entrance lobby is designed to attract premium tenants, and as such the floor-to-ceiling glass is complemented by timeless white marble walls and granite floors with wood and metal details. The high-quality materials and neutral palette will elegantly set off planned art installations. Seating is clustered in conversational groupings throughout the space, hosting impromptu meetings and offering prime views of the city life outside. Our integrated design approach also encompassed the elevator lobby, elevator cab interiors and base building washrooms. Secure bicycle storage, locker and shower areas encourage cycling and other forms of active transportation.

Designed to exceed LEED Platinum standards and International WELL Institute workplace guidelines, 16 York represents the very best in office evolution.

Advanced technologies allow for maximum operational efficiency, performance and comfort, creating a workplace environment adaptable to any need and focused on the health and wellbeing of its inhabitants.

B+H also designed the streetscape for 16 York, which includes the integration of a Lars Fisk sculpture and complementary spherical streetscape elements, along with an urban patio.

320/304 BAY ST RESTORATION

RESTORING AND UPGRADING PRIME OFFICE SPACES Built in 1931 and formerly known as the Canada Permanent Building, 320 Bay St is an 18-storey office building located in the heart of downtown Toronto. This major restoration includes the base building renewal and upgrades to suites in the building to reposition it as a Class A office building.

The restoration has improved the quality and service of the space, while preserving the integrity of the structure’s history and architectural elements. Base building upgrades include washrooms from levels 2 to 18, the main lobby at 304 Bay St, the elevator cabs, and an end-of-trip facility in the basement. We were tasked to acknowledge and marry the materiality in the lobby at 304 Bay with the historical side by giving it a more contemporary feel to appeal to potential clients including tech businesses and major coworking brands.

IRVING OIL HOME OFFICE

DESIGNING WITH AN EYE TO THE FUTURE The Home Office for family-owned Irving Oil brings together employees spread across six offices in Saint John under one roof to enhance business outcomes and take the company into the next stage of their evolution. The Home Office’s proportions and horizontal datums respond to the surrounding historical context of neighbouring buildings, reinforced through the frieze, cornices, and setback above the podium. The main entrance is landscaped to echo the park across the street, including a setback that accommodates for ample greenery.

Irving Oil artifacts and memorabilia are displayed in the lobby to celebrate the company’s history. This is carried throughout the building via photography and digital displays commemorating a storied past while looking toward an innovative and dynamic future. Featuring a soaring central atrium daylit from above, the entrance lobby is designed to accommodate all employees for gatherings and is animated by an open staircase connecting upper levels.

Visibly integrating all levels and business units, the central staircase encourages unexpected interactions and social engagement across the company. The use of natural materials such as white oak, patinaed bronze and a variety of Canadian limestones, paired with upholstery and carpet colours inspired by the Bay of Fundy and beach stone blue hues, create an authentically East Coast aesthetic.

The design team facilitated workshops in consultation with senior leadership and a cross section of departments that represented demographics and workgroups to seek input on Irving’s current state and strategic direction. The data collected was used to evaluate workplace solutions, resulting in a workplace and interior design that advanced the client’s objectives. Our team was able to efficiently plan individual work points to allocate more space for collaborative settings and communal spaces as preferred amenity for employees. Rooted in wellness, the design includes features and amenities including access to natural light, promoting movement through design, onsite health services, 24/7 access to the fitness centre, bike parking, and healthy food options in the café along with access to outdoor dining. Sustainability was at the forefront of the design approach from the onset of the project and the building achieved a LEED NC Silver certification.

601 WEST HASTINGS

URBAN RENEWAL THROUGH HOLISTIC DESIGN Adjacent to the largest transportation hub in downtown Vancouver, 601 West Hastings is key to the ongoing regeneration of the area. Prior to its redesign, this corner was insufficiently zoned for commercial space. To respond to the growing needs of the city, it was imperative to work creatively with city officials to increase commercial allotment while retaining as much public open space as possible. Working holistically, B+H redesigned this uninspired corner of downtown Vancouver into a usable community plaza with a tower that will create a strong streetscape presence and an iconic silhouette along the skyline. Effectively addressing the need for density, the new 25-storey office tower is thoughtfully designed and tailored with subtle folds, overlaps, and reveals in the corners, emphasizing the curved uplift at the public plaza.

The striking overhang at the building’s corner plaza invites pedestrians to engage with the space and is sculpted to capture maximum sunlight and allow for clear views. The base of the tower uses a minimum floor area for the lobby, maximizing usable outdoor public space. Ground-level retail and a full-height water feature at the entrance to the building animate the corner.

This animation is further emphasized by the exterior of the tower, which was designed to catch and playfully reflect sunlight through a mullion pattern that evokes the fine stitching of a suit. Sustainable features were incorporated to ensure long-lasting design and conservation of resources. Features include low flow water fixtures, increased insulation and thermal performance materials, daylight sensors for lighting control, bicycle parking and a white roof, which reduces heat absorption and conduction to the interior of the building.

121 KING WEST, ROSEROCK PLACE

A BOUTIQUE OFFICE EXPERIENCE IN TORONTO’S FINANCIAL DISTRICT The newly renovated lobby at Roserock Place, formerly 121 King Street West, is a stunning showcase of nature-inspired design.

The design concept for the renovation of the lobby at 121 King Street West inspired the renaming of the building to Roserock Place. The sculptural rock formation rising from the concourse level into the lobby echoes the quarry faces of the Canadian Shield from which the building’s distinctive pink granite was carved. The raw rock face at the elevators and biophilic-inspired furniture bring the space back to nature. This one-of-a-kind space offers a truly unforgettable experience for tenants and visitors alike.

60 BLOOR STREET WEST

RENEWING PREMIER URBAN DESTINATIONS 60 Bloor St. West enjoys a premier location in the mid-town office and retail market of Toronto. However, over the years the property had been losing its competitive edge due to less efficient building systems and a dated appearance, underscored as the immediate area transformed to contemporary design and intensification.

B+H led the major renovation and reskinning of Morguard’s Bay-Bloor mixed use retail and office tower. Housing portions of Holt Renfrew’s office spaces and the Gap’s flagship Bloor location, this aging 1970s building has been revitalized from the outside in, to rival the dynamic and rapidly developing retail and commercial developments along the Bay and Bloor corridors.

The project utilized innovative technology to re-skin the glazed facade from the exterior, while maintaining minimal impact to the office spaces within. The new design modernizes and lightens the look of the building and enhances its aesthetic appeal, removing the heavy precast structure, resulting in a contemporary and streamlined building. The building also underwent major upgrades to the mechanical, electrical and life safety systems, achieveing LEED Gold EB:OM certification. In combination with the redesigned exterior and lobby, these changes bring this building on par with class A office spaces in the area.

EAU CLAIRE TOWER

IMPACTFUL ENTRIES & IMPRESSIONS Located in the up-and-coming Eau Claire neighbourhood, this new tower is connected to Calgary’s +15 network—the world’s most extensive pedestrian skywalk system linking some of the city’s most important buildings. As part of this assignment, we were asked to make recommendations for this project to address its needs for an impressive exterior design and to make a noteworthy impact on visitors as they enter the building through the lobby. The design had to be in keeping with the existing development within the context of its neighbourhood as well as the Oxford brand.

The building sits far from the street edge and creates an ‘urban lawn’—a large green open space, which will be used to host small markets during warm months. The façade of the building incorporates a custom-designed ceramic frit, the purpose of which is two-fold. The first, to increase performance through the reduction of heat gain and light reflection and second, to create dynamic movement. Designed to mimic cloud formation and movement, motion is generated across the exterior glass through a process of pixilation and fragmentation. The lobby features a dramatic transparent glass podium and dynamic stone walls that create a sense of energy within the space.

TORONTO-DOMINION CENTRE REVITALIZATION

RESTORING AN ICON B+H enjoys a long-standing relationship with the Toronto-Dominion Centre since the development’s inception in the 1960s. The firm has been the Architect or Joint-Venture Architect for the Toronto-Dominion Bank Tower, Royal Trust Tower, Canadian Pacific Tower, Maritime Life Tower, and Ernst & Young Tower. Mies van der Rohe acted as design consultant for the three original buildings. This project received the 25-Year Award from the Ontario Association of Architects In 2003 and Office Building of the Year Award (for a project over 1,000,000 ft2) from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) Canada.

B+H is also the Architect for a technical upgrades/renovation program that has been on-going since 1985. To improve the thermal value of Mies’ glass-and-steel curtain walls, we replaced the original single-glazed glass with double-glazed thermal pane windows, tinted bronze to match the originals, that reduce heat loss by 50%. Mechanical and electrical systems were extensively upgraded.

Existing lighting was replaced by high-performance LED lights, colour-matched to the originals, and the chillers were replaced with heat exchangers for integration with the deep lake water cooling system that serves Toronto’s downtown core. The 66 Wellington Street and 77 King Street West towers are Certified LEED EB:O&M Platinum; the 222 Bay Street tower is certified WELL Gold—the first existing building in North America to receive such certification.
