BIOMIMICRY: OUR DESIGN LENS Biomimicry is the lens B+H uses to engage regenerative design. Rather than copying how nature looks, biomimicry learns from how living systems function, adapt, and thrive. It helps us understand what nature is already doing in a place and how design can work with those systems. This way of thinking is not new. Indigenous Peoples around the world have long understood humans as part of nature and have developed distinct, place-based knowledge grounded in relationship, reciprocity, and responsibility to the land. We recognize these longstanding ways of knowing and seek to work with Indigenous communities where appropriate, respecting that knowledge is specific to each Nation, community, and place. Nature becomes a model, mentor, and measure for creating projects that are more resilient and better connected to their environment.

THE LIVING STORY Understanding Place Before Design Begins Every place has a story shaped by its ecology, climate,

What does this place want to do?

What will it support?

What will it permit?

What might it inspire?

+ What ecological processes and relationships are already at work?

+ We look at existing ecological services the free engineering that nature provides to see how it can support our resilience.

+ Nature has a trajectory, and with climate change that trajectory is becoming much more difficult to predict

+ Through biomimicry, we learn from the timetested genius of the site how to solve our design problems

+ Pre-design risk assessments allow us to understand the trajectory of a place and how we will best fit in

+ Learn from local organisms how to self-cool, create circular economies, leverage solar energy, dissipate storms, or build with benign materials

+ Understand existing ecological assets, services, and opportunities to integrate as Naturebased Solutions

By building this understanding early, the Living Story helps teams:

+ Helps reduce risk and costs associated with climate change

+ It is expensive fighting nature, which is why the pre-design Living Story helps us avoid unnecessary costs

+ Identify climate risks and resilience opportunities early

+ Inform planning, infrastructure, and site decisions

+ Reduce uncertainty before significant design investment

+ Embed regenerative principles from the outset

+ Expand innovation by exploring the billionyear old ideas in nature

+ Establish measurable regenerative goals

ADVANCED STRATEGY At B+H, Advanced Strategy helps clients connect organizational objectives with future ready spatial and portfolio decisions across sectors, using research, stakeholder engagement, and scenario testing to translate complexity into actionable direction.

RESIDENTIAL Residential buildings are long life assets shaped by shifting demographics, affordability pressures, lifestyle expectations, and environmental performance. Our Advanced Strategy work engages developers, residents, operators, and city stakeholders to surface aspirations for vertical communities, amenities, and long term building behaviour. Through research, systems mapping, and scenarios, we explore what makes a residence livable, equitable, and sustainable, shaping residential design.

Core Challenge: Designing vertical communities that remain livable, equitable, and low‑carbon over their full lifecycle.

THE UNITED BLDG - 481 UNIVERSITY

TRANSFORMING TORONTO HERITAGE

481 University Avenue brings together condominium residences, upscale retail, and commercial offices on one of Toronto’s premier urban thoroughfares. Breaking the city’s existing height and view requirements, B+H’s successful rezoning includes a 55-storey tower rising from the base of a restored heritage building, with direct indoor access to St. Patrick Station seamlessly connecting residents to the city’s transit network. The United BLDG has been designated the tallest architectural heritage retention in North America. The preservation and integration of the existing complex restores its architectural features to their original glory, while the sleek glass tower provides a contemporary contrast to the historic limestone and granite base. A diverse range of unit types and sizes is carefully planned to maximize daylight access and capture expansive views across the city. Key communal spaces are located high within the tower, offering residents elevated amenities that encourage social interaction while taking full advantage of panoramic views.

KIPLING STATION CONDOS

CONNECTED COMMUNITIES AND UNRIVALLED ACCESS Kipling Station Condos is a new transit-oriented development located adjacent to a major public transportation hub and is part of the revival of the Kipling and Dundas area of Central Etobicoke. This 50-storey tower will add 552 suites to the community and is a bold and modern addition to the city’s skyline. The design features unique and faceted geometry, a dark colour palette, and contrasting copper/rose gold accents. The tower’s cantilevered balconies and outdoor amenity spaces create a comfortable and inviting living experience for residents. Amenities at Kipling Station Condos are located on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th levels. Level 4 features an entirely outdoor amenity space with a bright copper ceiling to create a welcoming and vibrant space. The podium is transparent and light with minimalist details that allow for maximum transparency, creating a porous experience from the street.

49 ONTARIO

A CONNECTED COMMUNITY AT THE CROSSROADS OF CITY, TRANSIT, AND LANDSCAPE Located in Toronto’s historic Old Town, 49 Ontario Street transforms an underutilized urban site into a transit-supportive, high-density residential community shaped by mobility, heritage, and public life. The project delivers 1,226 residential units, including 245 affordable units, 15% barrier-free suites, and three guest suites. Organized around a landscaped central mews, the design draws pedestrians in from Adelaide Street East and guides movement through the site toward new parkland to the northeast. Retail and a leasing office along Adelaide further animate the street and strengthen the project’s civic presence. The podium establishes a human-scaled street edge through burgundy brick, curved glass, and masonry-inspired detailing that reflects the character of Old Town. Retained heritage townhouses along Berkeley Street preserve the continuity of the historic streetscape. Above, the towers carry the podium’s warm red-brown palette upward, creating a distinctive addition to the skyline. Sets of double fins add depth and rhythm to the façade, while horizontal fins frame the tower every three levels. Designed as a complete vertical community, the project offers a broad range of amenities, including co-working spaces, a golf simulator, theatre, podcast rooms, fitness and wellness areas, steam rooms, cold plunge, outdoor pool, party room, and rooftop lounge. Balancing density with human scale, the project creates a connected and enduring residential community rooted in the evolving identity of Old Town Toronto.

HICKORY TREE TOWERS

CONNECTING HOMES, TRANSIT & COMMUNITY Hickory Tree Towers responds to two pressing needs in Toronto: more rental housing and better use of transit-connected land. Located across from Weston GO and UP Express, the 42-storey development transforms an underused commercial and institutional site into 420 purpose-built rental homes, including 105 affordable suites. Designed by B+H for Arkfield Development and CentreCourt, the building rises from a six-storey podium that reinforces the Weston Road street edge. Retail space at grade introduces new activity along the sidewalk, while the tower is set back from Wilby Crescent and positioned to maintain separation from potential future development on the neighbouring site. The mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments provides options for a range of household sizes. Indoor and outdoor amenities are distributed across several levels, while bicycle parking and reduced vehicle parking reflect the site’s direct access to regional rail and local bus service. By placing a substantial supply of market and affordable rental housing within walking distance of Weston Station, the project supports population growth without extending development beyond existing transit infrastructure. It also contributes new retail frontage and pedestrian activity to a stretch of Weston Road transitioning from low-rise commercial uses to a denser, mixed-use neighbourhood.

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 project is situated on a prime waterfront plot, facing Lake Ontario, with direct access to the marina, the Waterfront Bicycle Trail, and a host of outdoor recreational activities, as well as an urban retail edge along Lakeshore Road. The design creates a strong connection between the building and its surroundings. Deep balconies are an extension of the indoor space and form the architectural articulation. The undulating balconies evoke waves, reflecting the building’s location facing Lake Ontario. The material palette consisting of wood, brass, and white is a nod to the nautical inspiration of boats in the marina across the street at One Port. The building has been submitted for rezoning and is currently in the schematic design phase.

250 WINCOTT DRIVE - RICHVIEW SQUARE

RENEWING THE HEARTBEAT OF A COMMUNITY Richview Square is a well-anchored retail destination in the highly coveted neighbourhood of Richview in Toronto. It provides a variety of shops and services to the surrounding neighbourhood and stands as a strong retail foundation for this future residential community. The new redevelopment project will revitalize and build upon the legacy of the plaza as the heartbeat of the community. Richview Square will consist of three new mixed-use buildings (12, 13, and 13 storeys each) in addition to an existing one-storey commercial plaza. The existing commercial plaza building will be partially retained and renovated, with its southwesterly wing being removed, an 8.6 metre-wide addition to be made to the east side of the building, and enhancements planned to the building’s facade. Overall, the buildings will offer a total gross floor area of 65,300 m2, consisting of 53,723 m2 of residential space, 11,038 m2 of nonresidential space, and 465 m2 of community agency space. The development will have 587 residential units, 54 of which are to be purpose-built affordable rentals. The development will also include a new 1,700 m2 public park at the southwest corner of the site fronting Eglinton Avenue West, as well as a 659 m2 POPS (Privately-Owned Publicly accessible Space) between two of the new towers.

900 ALBERT STREET

TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT A prime model of mixed-use, transit-oriented development within an urban context, 900 Albert Street is a component of Ottawa’s urban renewal initiative and features residential units, and office and retail space. Close to the newly renovated Bayview Station, it’s the only transfer point between the Confederation LRT and Trillium Lines, making it not only a major hub for residents but also for transit users. Working within a limited land area and considering the population growth the development brings, we address the need for open outdoor space through clearly defined areas. A community trail system along the east side of the site runs parallel to the transit tracks to provide a safe green space that buffers the development. Featuring accent unit paving, the main pedestrian link uses the ground plane as a design canvas to connect people to the public realm along the length of the community. This link culminates with a sculptural canopy at the development’s main corner that acts as a gateway to the community. The multi-tower development includes two residential towers with over 1,200 units, 500,000 sq.ft. of office space and a vibrant multi-level retail podium.

TRINITY HILLS TOWN CENTRE (BLOCK I)

DESIGNING A DESTINATION LIVE, WORK + PLAY As the first phase in the Trinity Hills Development, the Southern Town Centre block will set the tone for the remainder of the development. Designed with S9 Architecture, this project will comprise seven buildings terraced to make best use of the natural slopes. As these lands hold significant importance to the Blackfoot peoples, the project also features artwork and landscaping that speak to their history and culture. The upper plaza of the project is home to the larger commercial buildings including an anchor grocery store, pet store and discount goods store that have been built to tenant standards in harmonious styles. A sense of connection is created between these buildings through sidewalks and landscaping that carry through the site to the Paskapoo Slope trails, further entrenching the development’s deep connection to nature. At the base of the slope, two paired wood frame buildings are being built to serve Calgary’s emerging rental market. These buildings epitomize the live-work-play philosophy defining the entire development. By delivering urban conveniences with ample outdoor access, these buildings are expected to attract both young professionals and active retirees. The architecture of these buildings echoes styles found further into the mountains with hues and patterns of natural wood featuring predominantly in collaged facades peppered with projecting balconies and framing elements. The base of these buildings contain small-scale retail and restaurants to activate the street level, as well as entrance lobbies which front the development’s main street and conceal necessary parking structures. Bringing residents even closer to nature, 5 of the upper levels of residential units start with a fenced in plaza which faces landscaped gardens. These two buildings are crowned with dramatic cantilevered sloping roofs reminiscent of the mountains beyond and are divided by a series of steps and terraces designed with Urban Systems. B+H has been involved with the following for Trinity Hills: •

LITTLE MOUNTAIN BRITISH COLUMBIA

ORGANIC CURVES ON THE PARK Sited at the southeast corner of the Little Mountain residential community, the proposed eight storey mixed-use building consists of 126 market residential units, with retail at grade. The design concept is a response to the three mature Norway Maples lining Main Street. The design features a facade and terraces that curve around the existing trees. The vertical section steps to reduce the perceived mass at grade and provide solar access to the Public Plaza. Designed to meet LEED Gold sustainability criteria, the building will have double-glazed windows, landscaped patios, solar panels, solar shading, and a rooftop garden. Estimated construction cost is $46 million. The project was unanimously approved by the Urban Design Panel in February, 2019.

HARDWOOD INTERNATIONAL - PHASE 5

EXPLORING USER EXPERIENCE The design of Harwood International 5 leverages its urban context, market forecasting, branding, and environmental and infrastructural elements. The user experience was explored and defined in a “day in the life” exercise to identify tenant expectations and lifestyle characteristics. “We felt if we could break the pattern of Harwood Street by being simply a street where you go to park your car, we could create a pedestrian spine that would activate and link Harwood district together.”
