The proposed building was designed with the intent of capitalizing on the great open view that the site has off Queen St. West and Fennings St. Upon further researching the site we determined that the sun does indeed get a great amount of Southern sun throughout the best parts of the day, so we decided to make large stepping terraces along S.W. corner of the site. In doing so we created many spaces that act as backyard replacements which are integral features In the design. Whilst designing the terraces we also decided to make them green spaces, in doing so it further emphasizes the overall backyard replacement idea which we had, and this greatly improves the livability of each space. I also decided to create parapets that had planters in them, to further enhance the sustainability of the building. Large glazing spaces are used to connect the inside and outside of each unit, this allows for a good amount of borrowed sunlight to enter the units. Each unit is relatively spacious with an open concept kept in mind; this is to ensure the space to get a good amount of borrowed light in the unit. We also wanted to incorporate large green garden spaces so each resident could get a good view of the city.
