14 Distillery District

The approach of the building from the south-east of the Distillery District played into the directed view of the distillery within the building as a way to connect history and function. The approach from the Distillery District is both historically and commercial vital to address. When people leave the district they will be greeted by the architectural eastern facade louvers. These louvers will direct view from the District and into the distillery.

Towards the District, the programming of the building aligned itself with things such as both the vodka and whiskey distilleries and the barrel storage. Not only is it thematically aligned, but as stated before, an apt greeting for those leaving the district to inform them of the building’s program. This then proceeds to create interest to pull pedestrians into the building much like the ribbon design would pull pedestrian from the western approach.

The purpose of this project was to explore the unused lands within Toronto found within already built neighbourhoods. The divisions of land within old Toronto neighbourhoods are very long narrow pieces of land, with laneways at the end of the property line. An example of this narrow land division is found in the neighbourhood of Withrow Avenue. The motive of this project was to explore the back half of this property, behind the main house’s garden, and design a small home to aid in increasing housing within Toronto. The size of the home would be enough for small family/ young couple: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a sizable kitchen and living room, and storage available within the basement. Due to the small scale of this project, it was also a great opportunity to explore sustainable urban design and the affects of what effective envelop design can do for energy conservation, while also considering life cycle analysis and life cycle costing. This energy conversation and expenditure was then further internally analyzed via softwares such as Wufi, Sefaira and Athena.

16 Cedar Laneway There were a lot of site constraints beyond the narrow nature of the property. The site itself is very sloped and required many considerations based on the laneway bylaws, particularly in terms of building height and length. From ground level at the laneway, the building had a maximum of 6ft at its peak (and 10m in length).

While there was a minimum distance from the primary home required, the height limit affected the distance the small home could be taken into the property because higher up the elevation limited the height of the building since the base measurement was measured from the laneway ground level. The width of the building was allowed to be taken to its maximum (5m) with assurance that the sides of the building were windowless and fire safe - thus the materiality of the facades differs with this consideration.

Due to the limitations with building footprint, it was important to increase the sense of space within the interior as much as possible. To achieve this open sense of space, it was important to avoid any central columns. However with the span of the building, the roof angle, and weight, considerations had to be met with load distribution. This was solved by including both a ridge beam and board to best secure the structure and allow for a larger open span.
