Description

The new St. Lawrence Market North honours the 200-year tradition of the Farmer's Market and gives back to the city with five new public event spaces to ensure its economic and social viability well into the future.

The signature shape was generated through an integrated design process to respond directly to the historic context, the hybrid building program and the Toronto Green Standard. It will have 100% fresh air, natural light, spectacular views of the city and achieve a 50-55% reduction in energy consumption.

The curved form adds a new civic building to the family of landmark buildings in the heritage St. Lawrence neighbourhood. The arched east and west facades relate to the vaulted roof of the South Market and the sheath of copper cladding makes makes material reference to the St. Lawrence Town Hall cupola, the spire of St.James Cathedral, and the turret of the Gooderham flatiron building to the west.

Playing off how the South Market as a red brick behemoth ... Ingests its predecessor the city hall of 1845, the arched walls, like parentheses, unify the hybrid program of market and court into one distinctive form.
