About 210 Bloor Kortermaja

210 Bloor on 29-korruseline segafunktsionaalne hoone, kus asub 42 korterit, 126 m2 kaupluspinda ja kolm tasandit maa-alust parklat. Arenduse kogupind on 15 589 m2 ning üldine hoonestustihedus on 20-kordne krundi pindalast. Disainile on iseloomulik peegelduvast klaasist kolmnurkne tesselleeritud geomeetriline muster ida- ja läänefassaadidel, mis on projekteeritud täpselt kinnistupiirini. Kuusnurksete paneelide peegeldav viimistlus loob peegeldunud valguse ja vormide lõuendi.

Unique Properties: 210 Bloor is a 29-storey mixed-use building home to 42 residential units, 126m2 of retail space and 3 levels of below-grade parking. The development will result in a gross floor area of 15,589m2 with an overall density of 20 times the area of the lot. The design features a mirrored glass triangular tessellated geometric pattern on the east and west facades, which are designed right to the property line. The mirrored finish of the hexagonal panels creates a canvas of reflected light and forms.

Production Technology: Reinforced concrete structure and glass curtain wall
Inspiration: Along with the challenge of intensifying these lots is the growing demand for boutique residential condominiums. These new buildings are typically designed with one or two units per floor, assuring a high level of privacy and autonomy, similar to a house. This emerging urban typology has been taken up in North American cities, including New York and Vancouver, where the various monikers for these buildings include the super-skinny and pencil tower.
Project Duration: The project started in 2023 in Toronto, Canada and is expected to complete construction in 2030
