About M1 and M2 주거 타워
M1과 M2는 캐나다 미시소가의 대규모 도시 개발 사업의 일환으로 건설된 두 개의 주거 타워이다. M1은 61층 780세대, M2는 62층 793세대 규모이다. 각 타워는 비틀리고 회전된 7가지 기준층 평면 형태로 구성되어, 각 층의 모서리가 아래층으로부터 약 1미터씩 이동한다. 짧은 전단벽이 이러한 이동을 따라 배치되어 실내 공간 구성은 규칙적으로 유지된다. 다면체 형태의 유리 포디엄은 옥상 녹화와 함께 지상층 및 옥상층에 남향의 옥외 편의 공간을 마련하고 있다.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The towers have a special geometry that provides for excellent residential units but also contributes to the iconic role of this building on the urban skyline. The podium has a prismatic shape by virtue of its faceted glass walls, as well as a rooftop amenity space and green roof. There are 7 typical floor plate shapes beginning with a rectangle and skewing first towards one extreme, then back to the other extreme. The tower’s unique appearance results from the rotation of the floor plates.

- Production Technology
- There are 7 typical floor plate shapes (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G), beginning with a rectangle (D) and skewing first towards one extreme (G), then skewing back through D to the other extreme (A). The corners of each plate floor plate shift over 1m from the plate below. This is done with short shear walls that ‘walk’ along with the skewing and overlap above and below
- Design Challenge
- Unlike other sculptural towers that sacrifice the livability of the units to achieve unique shapes, the precise geometric procedures we have used do not compromise the layouts of the rooms
- Inspiration
- This site will play a key role in the formation of Mississauga’s urbanized center. It will be a model for intensification, by offering high-quality amenities at levels of density that are new to Mississauga. The tower, intended as the highest part of the whole M City development, will have a unique geometry that redefines Mississauga’s skyline. Its characteristic undulating geometric presence is a series of twisted horizontal bands that form the entire shaft of the tower.
- Project Duration
- The project started in 2021 and completed in 2024
- Operation Flow
- We believe that reintroducing green space to urbanized places, both on the ground and in the air, is important for the wellbeing of people. These ideas figure largely in our proposal for Garden City, a tower podium strategy. This condo project offers an iconic tower recognizable on the skyline of the city, with a well landscaped pedestrian environment and a generous south facing outdoor amenity carved out of the mass of the podium.
The ground level is marked by bold paving patterns that include various contrasting textures and colors shaped into dynamic angles and planes. Along with generous softscape areas and high quality street furniture and boulevard lighting, we envision an enhanced public realm that frames a variety of urban commercial and leisure activities appropriate for a downtown setting. - Image Credits
