A VERTICAL CAMPUS

Standing tall at the intersection of Front and Simcoe Streets, TD Terrace (formerly 160 Front) is a 48-story commercial tower primarily occupied by TD Bank Group. This development offers approximately 111,000 square meters of Class-A office space in the heart of Toronto’s Financial District. With a below-grade garage for 340 cars and 450 bicycles, and a direct connection to the Toronto PATH system, TD Terrace is a significant addition to the city’s skyline.

In collaboration with AS+GG, the new office tower preserves the façade of a six-storey heritage building located in the southeast section of the site. Every aspect of the building’s design is intentional, including its unique shape. As the tower rises, it widens and then gradually narrows towards the top, a feature that helps counteract the downward force of the wind. This thoughtful design creates a more comfortable environment for pedestrians at street level.

Designed as a “vertical city,” this building aims to create its own neighbourhoods, with amenities and landmarks throughout the office space to support the TD workspace. This cutting-edge office building is equipped with the latest smart building technology and efficient design features, including integration with Enwave’s deep lake cooling system and a reclaimed rainwater management system.

SICKKIDS PATIENT SUPPORT CENTRE

INNOVATING FOR HEALING

The new home of administration and clinical education at Toronto’s renowned Hospital for Sick Children, the new Patient Support Centre will anchor a renewed SickKids campus and support a collaborative and innovative organizational culture. A two-storey entrance level is wrapped in transparent glass to activate the Elizabeth and Elm street corner; inside, a café and social hub will attract passers-by and provide a vibrant new destination for SickKids staff and the Discovery District community. An undulating façade with vertical fins animates the tower above, the sense of motion amplified by a colourful glass-walled staircase and pedestrian bridge connected to the main hospital buildings. Office workplaces are open and airy, with flexible desking systems and casual seating to accommodate both individual and group work. A rooftop event space and garden terrace capture unobstructed southern views and sunlight.

MEETING THE DEMANDS OF A NEW WORKFORCE

Designed in partnership with executive architect Spina O’Rourke + Partners, the new Banyan & Olive development in West Palm Beach, Florida reflects a growing demand for a new type of office typology that meets the needs of tech and finance firms relocating to the area.

The new site will introduce two new buildings downtown as a vertically integrated commercial community, designed and branded to become a destination that attracts a like-minded audience of tenants and end users. The original heritage building on the site, 111 Olive, will be retained, restored, and transformed into a 3-storey mixed-use tower with ground floor retail, a new marquee restaurant at grade that will boast an expansive outdoor patio, and boutique office space on the top two floors. Previously occupied by a department store, it was paramount that the original art modern aesthetic be retained to connect back to the historic fabric of the neighbourhood.

Adjacent to 111 Olive, a vacant parking lot will be transformed into 300 Banyan – a 12-storey bold, geometric glass tower that will house Class A office space with an expansive amenity floor equipped with a state-ofthe-art indoor/outdoor gym and private outdoor terraces can be used by tenants year-round. The tower will also include an elevated parking garage above ground floor retail, lobby and food and beverage offerings.

While an emphasis on outdoor workspace was once atypical in the region, new work styles emerging from the pandemic and a migration of major finance and tech firms has prompted a change in perspectives and priorities.

Throughout the project’s design development, engagement with the local community and investment in public space was top priority. Connecting 111 Olive and 300 Banyan will be a public walkway that can be activated with a variety of food and beverage and retail pop ups or cultural programming, which will foster a sense of community between both buildings. The development’s emphasis on public realm integration reflects the recent revitalization of downtown West Palm Beach into a bustling arts and entertainment district that is now a major player in the finance and tech economy.

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.

URBAN RENEWAL THROUGH HOLISTIC DESIGN

This projects replaces an under utilized plaza with a 21 storey commercial office tower and linear park. To preserve as much of the public green space as possible, the base of the tower is reduced to the minimum practical area to allow a lobby and retail to function while the resulting overhang is sculpted to allow maximum sunlight and views. An “Urban Trail” park is envisioned that flows through the base of tower and extends through the adjacent site. Park features will include educational elements, large bio walls including a balcony green wall extending up a significant portion of the tower, edible plantings, and integrated lighting features allowing use of the park beyond daylight hours. Building features include an innovative sustainable envelope and large green walls for filtering air supply.

REFRESHING AN ICON

This extensive renovation of Canada’s tallest office building reinforced its iconic status on the Toronto skyline. The work involved a total recladding with the installation of 375,000 ft2 of glass spandrel panels utilizing ceramic frit which project a luminous white texture, removal of the tower and podium’s existing 45,000 marble panels, and installation of new insulation. Infrastructure upgrades resulted in LEED® Gold EB:O&M certification. Interior renovations were also part of the project.

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. The revitalization project will recapture the original vision as a gold-coloured screen film was added to the windows several years after the towers were built. The bronze tint of the new glazing will be more in keeping with the original concept.

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.

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.

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.

The design produces larger, more intricate, and even organic patterns and forms by layering and combining these shapes at various scales.

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.

TENCENT SEAFRONT TOWERS

DESIGNING VERTICAL CAMPUS FOR FUTURE INNOVATORS

Tencent is best known for running China’s biggest messenger app, WeChat. In recent years, the company’s business has expanded into areas including video games, AI, and entertainment and has become the most valuable company in Asia. Tencent operates in a highly innovative industry where top talent is young, dynamic and smart. Our client’s vision lies in promoting its global reach and creating a vibrant and collaborative work environment that fosters innovation, sparks creativity, and inspires staff.

Tencent’s twin Seafront Towers (rising 50 and 39 storeys) serve as the new home for the tech conglomerate’s 12,000 employees and stand as city landmarks. Working as interior designer, B+H worked closely with the client and architect to adapt the concept of a vertical campus to reflect Tencent’s community-focused culture. Reminiscent of a university campus, this vertical campus offers amenities for work and play. Tencent’s mostly millennial talent will find a convivial workplace environment – part lifestyle hub and part social village – within an ergonomic and modern building. The towers are connected by skybridges, where those moving between towers can interact and meet to create synergies and generate fresh ideas. Each skybridge has its own unique theme.

UBER CANADA HEADQUARTERS

ENGINEERING HUB

In 2018, this company was seeking an innovative and forward-thinking Interior Design partner to create a leading-edge solution for their new Canadian head office. B+H’s proven track record with tech companies delivering progressive and innovative interiors led to the client’s approval.

The client had leased the top five floors of a midtown office tower that provided outdoor terraces on two of the top floors. This unique feature coupled with a clean floorplate gave B+H a virtual blank slate to create a highly collaborative, creative and fun workplace.

As this company was in midst of revitalizing their branding guidelines, B+H was tasked with implementing a new strategy for the Canadian head office that would enhance their brand expression and create moments of respite, play and memorable landmarks. B+H’s Experiential Graphic Design (EDG) team was brought on board and a close collaboration ensued so that each floor expresses an individual sense of identity through the overarching theme of movement.

The schedule for this project was very aggressive, but B+H was able to meet all the required milestones and budget restrictions, exceeding the client’s expectations. The new Canadian Head Office is an intuitive, creative, relaxed and collaborative environment that Uber is proud to call home.

PHASE 1 NEW PATIENT TOWER

WELCOMING AND ENGAGING COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACE

This major renovation and expansion renews the former Toronto East General Hospital as a welcoming and engaging community gathering place and hub for health and wellness. The hospital’s main Coxwell Avenue frontage transforms into a lushly-landscaped urban oasis, a series of outdoor rooms shaded by oak and maple trees and subtly demarcated for conversation, play and quiet contemplation as well as for public events. The abundant greenery also links pedestrians to the hospital’s new main entrance, an expansive double-height atrium that overlooks the entrance court through floor-to-ceiling glass. The main entrance is in turn framed by the Ken and Marilyn Thompson Patient Care Centre, a new eight-storey wing that consolidates ambulatory care services and houses 215 inpatient beds, 80% of which are in single-patient rooms to enhance privacy, safety and infection control. Advanced new CT and MRI suites enable faster and more precise diagnostic imaging. A highly insulated building envelope and high-efficiency HVAC and lighting systems will help achieve LEED® Silver certification for building performance.

THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO FACULTY OF LAW RENEWAL PROJECT

PUBLIC REALM RENEWAL IN CITY SPACES

In recent years, the size and state of the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law buildings were holding the school back. Lack of space was posing restrictions on class sizes, faculty office availability, extracurricular events and student interaction, with the law school’s buildings ranking as the #1 source of student dissatisfaction in each of the last four years. The faculty’s new Jackman Law building provides the school with an additional 66,000 ft2 of space in an iconic new home. A dramatic wing overlooking Queen’s Park Crescent will create a new landmark in the area with a rhythmic façade of glass and nickel fins. The crescent-shaped design follows the curve of the street in front of it to fully embrace the site’s prominent location. The new wing includes a 210-student lecture hall designed to function as both a classroom and a moot court, several seminar halls, a new student commons lounge and forum space, faculty and staff offices and a new food services outlet. Built as a link between this addition and the school’s existing Bora Laskin Law Library, the new Law Forum space acts as a link and a social hub -- helping to integrate the Faculty of Law’s newest addition in with the school’s historic past and foster an improved sense of community. Construction also included renovations to the library, adding a new, two-storey reading room. An additional, light renovation to the school’s historic Flavelle House aimed to reduce the building’s energy use by 13%. Altogether, the new facilities will double the law school’s existing space and provide a world-class environment for student learning, interaction and engagement.

EAGLE MOUNTAIN MIDDLE SCHOOL EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENTS & EXPERIENCES

Located in the Village of Anmore, the Eagle Mountain Middle School is nestled in the base of the mountains within an idyllic community, which has managed to maintain its semi-rural, natural environment. Bordered by parkland, old growth forests, and lakes, the placement of the building on a former landfill site takes full advantage of its natural surroundings. These links with nature also play a critical role in the education of its students through carefully considered lightfilled spaces, which seamlessly integrate into the neighbouring landscape.

Featuring a steeply sloped three-level tiered design, the main classrooms, and media centre are arranged around an elevated central courtyard, which has been set one storey above the gymnasium and exploration level. The common courtyard is a space for exploration where students discover and interpret lessons learned from the classroom through direct and hands-on application.

The lower level support spaces and gymnasium, the intermediate level healthy living area and shops, and the upper level classrooms and courtyard, are all connected by a stepped central hall that acts as a primary gathering space, forming the heart of the school.

Through thoughtful experiences within its spaces, the school inspires teachers, staff, and visitors alike. Special design emphasis was put on evolving the classroom pods, the informal breakout spaces in the corridors, and the healthy living (art/foods/textiles) space. The building also includes an infant/child care centre, and a flexible gymnasium and multi-purpose hall, which are shared between the school and the community.

LIBRARY ARCHIVES OF CANADA GATINEAU 2 NEW PRESERVATION STORAGE FACILITY

PRESERVING CANADA’S CULTURAL LEGACY

Set upon a bucolic meadow outside the nation’s capital, the Gatineau 2

Preservation Facility is a state-of-the-art archives building that will protect and preserve the history of Canada for present and future generations. At the heart of the facility are six storage vaults that constitute a building within a building: their thick concrete shells are elevated a full storey above ground level for flood protection and are separated from the exterior building envelope to provide an additional layer of security and thermal isolation from the region’s extremes of temperature and humidity.

The vaults have a capacity equivalent to 600,000 standard archival boxes, housed in a high-density automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) with a robotic lift and crane. An advanced building automation system maintains precise levels of light, temperature, humidity and particulate, per international archival standards, for each type of media within the vaults. Architecturally, the building is a foil to the delicate glazed arches of the neighbouring Preservation Centre, a solid cubic mass angled at 45 degrees aand appearing to float above a recessed ground level of transparent glass. Precast concrete panels wrap the upper levels, their horizontal bands of varying textures referencing the site’s ancient geological layers of rock, soil, and glacial till.

The development’s overall aesthetic showcases a sophisticated combination of forms and materials. The façade, characterized by a play of light and dark bricks, metal accents, and expansive glass surfaces, creates a luxurious appearance. Additionally, the buildings feature curving brick elements and sharp vertical lines, offering a contemporary interpretation of the Art Deco style.

Residents will benefit from a variety of amenities, including activated rooftop spaces, landscaped gardens, and a vibrant retail corridor designed to enhance public life. The development emphasizes walkability and accessibility, seamlessly integrating with the surrounding urban environment.

Located adjacent to the picturesque Yanzi Lake in the Pingshan District of Shenzhen, the new 42,000m2 facility will be a world-class natural science museum dedicated to interpreting the laws of natural evolution, showing the geographies of Shenzhen and its ecology in a global perspective, and actively advocating science.

The design extends the public park network and aims to maximise access to the lush green areas throughout with a range of activities dedicated to keeping the site open and active throughout the day – from early morning jogs to late evening strolls. This gives the opportunity for residents and visitors alike to enjoy and connect with nature. Like water streaming down a river, the undulating form leads guests to a ’cave’ inspired passage that is connected to the to the museum lobby and activated by multiple cafes and public areas, serving as the pulsating heart of the building.
