The goal of this student housing project is to bring together students and the local community in Northern Ontario by creating a space that integrates elements of the region’s culture and provides opportunities for shared activities. By designing a housing complex with public spaces that prioritize sustainability, accessibility, and innovation, we hope to foster a sense of belonging and promote a stronger connection between students and the downtown core. Our project seeks to bridge the gap between students and community members by offering work, relaxation, and play opportunities that educate about and celebrate Northern Ontario’s unique culture.

The design concept for the facade involves incorporating elements of adaptive reuse to revitalize an older building while simultaneously introducing a dynamic and modern aesthetic to create a visually striking effect that highlights the intersection between the old and the new. This is achieved through the use of wood which provide a visual contrast to the existing concrete wall.

Right across from the all-girls high school is a small green space that leads to a large set of metal stairs that descend into the downtown area. This space already occupies small art stands that, during the summer display locals artwork. However, the space itself holds no space to sit and reflect on these pieces. The concept for this was to create a space of contemplation and rest where users can sit around a lilac tree and admire it using all senses, as the flowers of the tree have a strong distinct smell. Being by a school provides an opportunity for social gathering and conversation, as well as creating a connection between the students and the residents that live nearby.
